Application of Ergonomics to Evaluating and Improving the Design of Hospital Patient Monitoring Systems

小行星9360055 这项研究涉及医院的人为因素方面， 病人监护系统，并寻求改善的手段 通过人体工程学的应用， 重症监护室（ICU）。 在第一阶段，重症监护 将对患者监护系统进行审查和分析， 人工任务和设备监控功能， 设备设置过程、校准和初始化 监测. 整体病人护理的功能分析 将执行监测系统以确定所需的 人体工程学设计改进。 这些活动将与定期操作设备的医院医生和护士合作进行。 无论是在操作特定设备还是在医院患者监护系统的管理中，导致人为错误或过度响应时间的人体工程学问题都将被识别、分类和优先考虑。 将提出关于设计变更的总体建议，并提供人为因素审查和改进的工具。

9360055 Sabri This research addresses the human factors aspect of hospital patient monitoring systems and seeks the means of improvements through the application of ergonomics to the evaluation of intensive care units (ICU's). During Phase I, the intensive care patient monitoring system will be reviewed and analyzed in terms of human tasks and equipment monitoring functions and with respect to the equipment setup process, calibration and initialization of monitoring. A functional analysis of the overall patient care monitoring system will be performed to identify the needed ergonomic design improvements. These activities will be done in collaboration with hospital doctors and nurses who operate the equipment regularly. Ergonomic problems that result in human errors or excessive response time, whether in operating specific equipment or in management of the hospital patient monitoring systems, will be identified, classified, and prioritized. Overall recommendations regarding design changes and providing tools for human factor reviews and improvements will be made.
