Patient self-management of illnesses place a greater responsibility on the patient, as they administer or track their own treatment. This amplifies the impact of adherence on outcomes – any missed or incorrect actions have the potential to reduce treatment efficacy. However, adherence is often lower than expected (e.g., around 50% for chronic conditions; WHO, 2003), making it a crucial aspect to address for effective patient centered management. This work created and evaluated a digital health concept (the Abily app) to increase patient adherence. Crux’s behavioural design methodology was used to integrate behavioural insights with design, developing the Abily app, which: (1) increased user attention, (2) increased task comprehension, and (3) reduced use problems. The results give promising evidence for using digital health solutions to raise adherence.

The Surgical Safety Checklist (SSCL) is a widely implemented intervention; however, limited studies have explored system factors that impact adherence to proper checklist completion. Using an audio-visual recording technology called the Operating Room Blackbox (ORBB), the goal of this study was to characterize the level of checklist completion and identify work system factors that impact the use of the SSCL in general laparoscopic surgery. Thirty-six cases captured by the ORBB in a hospital in Toronto, Ontario were reviewed using an SSCL audit tool to collect data on item-level adherence. The Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS) 2.0 model was applied to the observation notes from the ORBB recordings to identify work system factors influencing checklist use. On average, across all 36 cases, 8 of the 29 checklist items were completed (30.1%), with debriefing being completed most frequently of the 3 checklist sections. Of the 29 checklist items, commonly completed items were: patient concerns addressed, surgical counts complete, and procedure name, while items in the timeout section were completed the least. Notably, factors related to person (e.g., confirmation of patient information amongst surgical team) and tools and technology (e.g., use of checklist in combination with patient chart) were identified as facilitators to checklist use, while factors relating to tasks (e.g., redundancy of checklist items with existing workflow), tools and technology (e.g., some checklist items not applicable to some procedures), organization (e.g, timing of checklist items and absence of team member), and internal environment (e.g., music volume in the OR) were identified as potential barriers to checklist use. By understanding how system factors contribute to checklist use and item-level adherence, we can identify ways to improve the checklist to meet the needs of the OR team and enhance integration of the SSCL into existing workflows.

Journey mapping is a powerful user experience tool depicting customers’ interactions with an enterprise. This paper shows how the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Mental Health and Suicide Prevention (OMHSP), and the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Office of Health Informatics (OHI) Human Factors Engineering Group, utilized journey mapping to discover patients’ psychotherapy experiences. The team conducted semi-structured interviews with Veterans, Caregivers, and Psychotherapy providers; and focus groups with OMHSP stakeholders, presenting successive iterations of four journey maps. The study used interview data to produce maps detailing representative depression patients’ mental health care experiences including: a patient suffering from coronavirus (COVID-19); a patient experiencing homelessness; a highly functional patient navigating implicit racial bias; and a patient resistant to therapy and his caregiver. The study identified areas of success and opportunities for improvement. Key findings included the importance of primary care in referrals; the desire to include family members in treatment; travel concerns in patients’ decisions about their care; the importance of viewing mental health care as part of a holistic view incorporating Veterans’ infrastructure (housing, employment, technology access, etc.); and varying levels of comfort toward technology and telehealth. The data also show opportunities to utilize health information technology to improve psychotherapy data collection and effect targeted quality improvement.

While there is a need for human factors engineering (HFE) in health systems design, the pace of operations in most healthcare systems often requires deviation from optimal HFE practices. We must provide sufficiently useful and usable findings to the design team and stakeholders to support project decisions while also tempering their expectations and properly calibrating their level of certainty around the findings and recommendations. As members of an HFE team in a series of projects related to the implementation of a new electronic health record (EHR) in a large healthcare system, we describe some early efforts with project teams and initial missteps that limited the effectiveness of HFE work. We also describe communication strategies we are piloting that appear to achieve better results in terms of project team engagement, stakeholder buy-in, and validity and utility of findings.

The U.S. military has become increasingly reliant on simulators to train combat medical personnel. Human patient simulators that exist for training medical procedures represent task elements with varying degrees of fidelity. The goal of this research was to evaluate the functional fidelity of two commonly used simulators to train surgical cricothyroidotomy to experienced participants. Following a task analysis informed by experts, we collected performance training and test data from 14 experienced trainees. Each participant performed surgical cricothyroidotomies on porcine tracheas before and after five training sessions using one of two simulators. Comparisons of procedure completion times and errors showed development of task mastery by members of both training groups. Analyses of transfer of training from the final training session to the porcine posttest suggested that experienced participants were sensitive to differences between the training simulators and conditions of the posttest. Implications are presented as they relate to the use of simulation technologies for training cricothyroidotomy and the application of a standard method for fidelity assessment.

Background : Rehabilitation clinicians have a high risk of occupational injury. Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are one of the most frequent injuries for rehabilitation clinicians due to repeated heavy lifting and other forceful tasks. The primary objective of this study was to identify factors that caused or contributed to WMSDs for clinicians specifically working in rehabilitation settings (e.g., acute care, inpatient rehabilitation, long-term care, outpatient therapy). Methods : An, in person, proctored questionnaire was conducted of physical therapists (PTs), occupational therapists (OTs) and therapy assistants working at a rural community hospital. Information on general workload, work-related pain or discomfort, patient handling, and clinical experience were gathered using both a scripted interview questionnaire and a semi-scripted post-interview discussion. The questionnaire was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistical methods to determine the 1-year prevalence of WMSDs and factors associated with WMSDs and use of safe patient handling techniques. Results : Respondents (n=27) included 18 PTs, 6 OTs and 3 therapy assistants. On average, rehabilitation clinicians spent over eight hours per day delivering “hands-on” care to patients. During a typical workday, therapists spent more than 20% performing heavy lifting, physically fatiguing tasks, or were in a static or awkward posture. Bending or twisting, repetitive tasks, and kneeling or squatting were each performed 30% or more of a typical workday, especially bending or twisting (38%). More than half (63%) suffered musculoskeletal pain/discomfort during the past year. Inadequate lifting devices were reported to be available in the working environment. A negative association was observed between the availability of multiple lifting devices and WMSDS (p-values<0.05). Less than a third of clinicians (31.5%) reported complete confidence to use mechanical lifting devices during rehabilitation activities. Conclusion : Rehabilitation clinicians are at higher risk for WMSDs due to patient handling tasks. More ongoing training must be provided to ensure clinicians have confidence to use the technologies available for rehabilitation tasks. However, additional research is still needed to understand the causal factors of WMSDs related to patient handling, particularly for rural care settings that lack access to technology and adequate staffing.

The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified systemic gaps in patient safety, including social frailty for vulnerable populations such as older adults (Briguglio et al., 2020). Public health measures, such as prolonged and frequent lockdowns, restricted access to visitors and support networks and in extreme cases led to confinement within a single room, The negative impact of these restrictions has focused new attention on social frailty, which has hitherto been a somewhat neglected patient safety issue. Since social frailty is a multifaceted construct, it needs to be considered in a variety of settings and from a range of disciplinary perspectives. This practitioner-led panel consisting of an internist, a human factors engineer, an occupational therapist, and an implementation scientist, examines the impact of the pandemic on social interaction, and social frailty amongst older people in three different settings (hospital, long term care home, community). Through a set of case studies, the panelists provided applied experiences and perspectives on the impact of the pandemic on patient safety and on social frailty in particular. The panel covered theory, and real-world application of human factors principles. The question of how to design safety into the healthcare system were also explored. In this paper we review the problem of social frailty, list some brief case studies and discuss possible intervention strategies.
2019冠状病毒病大流行扩大了患者安全方面的系统性差距,包括老年人等弱势群体的社会脆弱性(Briguglio et al., 2020)。公共卫生措施,如长期和频繁的封锁,限制访客和支持网络的接触,在极端情况下导致禁闭在一个房间内。这些限制的负面影响使人们重新关注社会脆弱性,这迄今为止一直是一个有点被忽视的患者安全问题。由于社会脆弱性是一个多方面的结构,它需要在各种环境和从一系列学科的角度来考虑。这个由医生领导的小组由一名内科医生、一名人为因素工程师、一名职业治疗师和一名实施科学家组成,研究大流行对三种不同环境(医院、长期护理院、社区)中老年人的社会互动和社会脆弱性的影响。通过一系列案例研究,小组成员就大流行对患者安全和特别是对社会脆弱性的影响提供了应用经验和观点。小组讨论了人因原理的理论和实际应用。如何设计安全纳入医疗保健系统的问题也进行了探讨。在本文中,我们回顾了社会脆弱的问题,列举了一些简短的案例研究,并讨论了可能的干预策略。

This paper shares a case study of a rapid cycle of process improvement, physical simulation, and simulation software development to stand up a mass COVID-19 vaccination site. The resulting standard work, clinic setup and simulation software tool were designed and implemented by an interdisciplinary team at a moderate size not-for-profit health system. This unique example of a simulation and modeling implementation led to a high throughput vaccination clinic with an outstanding patient experience.
