USING CLINICAL SIMULATIONS FOR PREVENTING TECHNOLOGY-INDUCED ERROR BEFORE AND AFTER HEALTHCARE INFORMATION SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION
It has been shown that although health information systems have the potential to provide safer healthcare, the introduction of new information technology and systems also has the potential to inadvertently cause new types of errors (“technology-induced errors). Key aspects of system and user interface design can be related to some of these potentially negative impacts. In this paper we describe our work in developing and applying new methods to detect and prevent technology-induced error in healthcare information systems. The approach involves conducting clinical simulations (involving observing human subjects interacting with systems) prior to as well as after widespread release of health information systems in order to identify how the systems will have an impact on complex healthcare activities and patient safety. Approaches to feeding this information back into improved system redesign, training and customization of systems (such as electronic health records) are discussed.
