Human Factors

The study of how people interact physically and psychologically with products, tools, procedures

and processes

Designing systems so that they are

natural to people and easy to use

Benefits of Human Factors

1. Improve adoption2. Improve patient safety3. Improve efficiency,

effectiveness, ease of use 4. Decrease the need for training5. Create an enjoyable user

experience

Usability

• Learnability• Efficiency• Memorability• Errors• Satisfaction

Beliefs & ExpectationsClinician

“Patients using the portal are going to ask me more questions. It will have an impact on the

clinic and my time.”

Patient

“What a difference it makes to be able to check the results in the privacy of my home just hours after the images are

taken! No nerve-wracking wait in the

clinic or waiting for my doctor's office to call me.”

“Physicians should determine which results are released

through the portal on to which type of patient.”

“If we give patients their results they might think

they are doing okay and not come in for their follow-up

visit.”

“I want to see my test/lab results as soon as they are available.”

“We need to come in for follow up to see the clinician – giving our results makes us

better prepared.”
