UManage Human Factors Core

人为因素核心项目摘要/摘要 华盛顿大学建立症状自我管理科学中心(UManage)是独一无二的 开发和实施新的技术创新，使慢性病患者能够 达到更高生活质量的条件。为了使这些技术产生期望的结果(例如， 更高的生活质量)，我们必须考虑到内部的复杂背景(即，社会技术系统) 这些技术将被使用到哪些方面。人的因素核心的首要目标是确保 项目团队成员在他们的技术设计和设计中考虑了这些社会技术因素 评估，以更好地确保技术是有用的、得到充分利用的，并产生预期的结果 福利。人的因素研究人员和实践者有一个完善的框架，称为 患者安全系统工程倡议(SEIPS)，将这些因素包括在产品和 工艺设计。最近，SEIPS框架进行了扩展(现在是SEIPS 2.0)，以支持 以病人为中心的工作，如慢性病的管理。此外，人为因素 菲尔德有无数种方法来了解个人如何完成流程，识别以下领域 设计机会，以及创建和测试原型设计的机会。人的因素核心意志 通过三项广泛的活动支持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在尊重的情况下取得成功 对人为因素的考虑 2)人因设计工作坊和教材，所以UManage团队很感兴趣 马萨诸塞州大学和我们社区的个人都深知人为因素的好处 方法，并有能力选择和应用特定的设计和评估方法 他们的作品。 3)向更广泛的消费者健康信息学社区提供指导，以深入了解我们的 团队已成功地将人为因素方法纳入UManage项目。

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.
