UManage Human Factors Core

人为因素核心项目总结/摘要 麻省大学症状自我管理科学研究中心（UManage） 开发和实施新的技术创新，使慢性病患者能够 条件，以实现更高的生活质量。为了使这些技术产生理想的结果（例如， 更高的生活质量），我们必须考虑复杂的背景（即，社会技术系统） 这些技术将被使用。人的因素核心的主要目标是确保 项目团队成员在其技术设计中考虑到这些社会技术因素， 评估，以更好地确保技术是有用的，良好的使用，并产生预期的 效益人为因素研究人员和从业人员有一个完善的框架，称为 患者安全系统工程倡议（SEIPS），将这些因素纳入产品和 工艺设计最近，SEIPS框架得到了扩展（现在是SEIPS 2.0）， 以病人为中心的工作，如慢性病的管理。此外，人为因素 这个领域有无数的方法来理解个人如何完成过程， 设计，以及创建和测试原型设计的机会。人的因素核心将 通过三大活动支持UManage： 1)指导试点项目研究团队，以更好地确保我们的试点项目取得成功， 人为因素的考虑 2)人为因素设计研讨会和教育材料，所以UManage团队和感兴趣的 马萨诸塞大学和我们社区的个人对人为因素的好处有着深刻的理解 方法，并感到有能力选择和应用具体的设计和评估方法， 他们的工作。 3)为更广泛的消费者健康信息学社区提供指导， 团队已经成功地将人因方法纳入UManage项目中。

HUMAN FACTORS CORE PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT The UMass Center for Building the Science of Symptom Self-Management (UManage) is uniquely poised to develop and implement new technological innovations that empower individuals with chronic conditions to achieve a higher quality of life. For these technologies to produce desirable outcomes (e.g., higher quality of life), we must account for the complex contexts (i.e., sociotechnical systems) within which these technologies will be used. The primary goal of the human factors core is to ensure that project team members account for these sociotechnical factors in their technology designs and evaluations, to better ensure that the technologies are useful, well-used, and produce anticipated benefits. Human factors researchers and practitioners have a well-established framework, termed the Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS), for including these factors in product and process designs. More recently, the SEIPS framework has been expanded (now SEIPS 2.0) to support patient-centered work, such as the management of chronic conditions. Additionally, the human factors field has myriad methods for understanding how individuals complete processes, for identifying areas of opportunity for design, and for creating and testing prototype designs. The human factors core will support UManage via three broad activities: 1) Guidance to pilot project research teams, to better ensure that our pilot projects succeed with respect to human factors considerations 2) Human factors design workshops and educational materials, so the UManage team and interested individuals at UMass and in our community have a solid understanding of the benefits of human factors approaches, and feel competent to choose and apply specific design and evaluation approaches within their work. 3) Guidance to the broader consumer health informatics community, to provide insight about how our team has successfully included human factors methods in the UManage projects.
