Hi Majid, You might be interested in this upcoming UPA MN event if you are already here in the Twin Cities:
Please join us January 10th for Dr. Kathleen Harder's presentation on her recent human factors research into system-wide automated medical record (AMR) systems! ********************** While the nation spends more than half a trillion dollars a year on health care, the use of automation in the health care industry lags behind other industries. Many health care organizations are currently planning on implementing large-scale automated information systems, but few organizations have fully automated one of the most critical types of information, patient medical records. The UPA-MN is pleased to have Dr. Kathleen Harder present her recent research on system-wide automated medical record (AMR) systems. A complex and critical issue, Dr. Harder will discuss computer-user interface issues such as information display, functionality, and consistency, as well as issues surrounding space constraints and the accessibility of computer equipment. She will also address important issues pertaining to staff acceptance, including computer literacy and training. Please join us for this engaging and timely presentation! More about our speaker: Kathleen A. Harder, Ph.D. University of Minnesota, Senior Research Associate, Center for Human Factors Systems Research and Design Kathleen Harder's general research interests involve investigating how various systems (environmental contexts) can be designed to enhance human performance. She is the principal investigator or co-principal investigator of a number of current and recent studies focusing on the design of safer transportation environments, patient safety issues, and the systems which surround and support electronic medial records. Harder was educated in Sweden, at Stockholm University, where she obtained an M.Sc. in Experimental Psychology, and in the USA at Dartmouth, where she obtained a Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology.
