DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A mentored Career Development Award is proposed to provide the candidate with rigorous methodological training and experience in Human Factors Engineering research that can be applied to the proposed research project in the imaging sciences processes and systems in a non-radiology environment such as the emergency department (ED). The proposed project will use cognitive systems engineering analysis to characterize the role of imaging in the ED and to specify system design characteristics which will best facilitate this role, then use human factors analysis methods to determine the ability of existing technologies to meet these needs and to develop a prototype dashboard interface to integrate the multiple imaging systems used in the ED. The proposed multidisciplinary work will be mentored by a collaboration of human factors engineers, cognitive systems engineers, health services researchers, and patient safety experts, and an advisory board of experts in radiology and imaging sciences information technology. Rollin J. Fairbanks, MD, MS, who has unique qualifications as both a physician researcher and a human factors engineer, will emerge from the award period as a researcher positioned to direct significant research efforts using human factors engineering approaches to the design of medical devices and information systems which meet the cognitive needs of the health care provider in their work environment. This project will also expand an existing simulation center to create a multidisciplinary translational laboratory which will be positioned to conduct continuing research to improve existing clinical technologies and to create new ones. RELEVANCE: This Study aims to better understand the cognitive processes the use of clinical imaging by emergency physicians. This information can inform the design of imaging systems which are used in the emergency department, and the improved design can improve the safety, reliability, and efficiency of these systems, thus having an impact on public health.

描述（由申请人提供）：建议设立一个指导性职业发展奖，为候选人提供严格的方法培训和人因工程研究经验，这些培训和经验可以应用于非放射环境（例如急诊室（ED））的成像科学流程和系统中的拟议研究项目。拟议项目将使用认知系统工程分析来描述影像在急诊科中的作用，并指定最有利于这一作用的系统设计特征，然后使用人为因素分析方法来确定现有技术满足这些需求的能力，并开发一个原型仪表板界面来集成急诊科中使用的多个成像系统。拟议的多学科工作将由人为因素工程师、认知系统工程师、卫生服务研究人员和患者安全专家以及放射学和成像科学信息技术专家顾问委员会合作指导。 Rollin J. Fairbanks 医学博士、理学硕士拥有医师研究员和人为因素工程师的独特资质，在获奖期间，他将作为一名研究人员脱颖而出，利用人为因素工程方法来指导重大研究工作，设计医疗设备和信息系统，以满足医疗保健提供者在其工作环境中的认知需求。该项目还将扩建现有的模拟中心，以创建一个多学科转化实验室，该实验室将致力于开展持续研究，以改进现有的临床技术并创建新的临床技术。 相关性：本研究旨在更好地了解急诊医生使用临床影像的认知过程。这些信息可以为急诊科使用的成像系统的设计提供信息，改进的设计可以提高这些系统的安全性、可靠性和效率，从而对公众健康产生影响。
