Summaryto select and summarize excellent research published during 2011 in the study of human factors in bio-medical informatics.we attempt to derive a synthetic overview of the activity and new trends in this field, from a wide selection of worldwide research papers published during 2011.We selected four papers. The first one presents an international effort aiming to design a guideline for good evaluation practice in health informatics (GEP-HI) [2]. The second reviews medical errors taxonomies from a human factor perspective [3]. The third one advocates the need to systematically perform a deep evaluation process after all healthcare information technologies project deployment [4]. The fourth one explores exit strategies performed by clinician using health record system and how/why we need to anticipate them [5].This papers selection will provide our readers with valuable evidences on past and existing research in the specific field of human factors in healthcare informatics. It can also act as a foundation for stakeholders in the healthcare industry that emphasize the significance of human factors and ergonomics in designing healthcare information systems of the future.

Summary Objectives: to select and summarize excellent research papers published in 2009 in the field of human factors in bio-medical informatics. Methods: we attempt to derive a synthetic overview of the activity and new trends in this field, from a selection of research papers published in 2009. Results: it is possible to identify commonalities in this diverse domain: healthcare information technologies (HIT) adoption still occupies a central role in the fieldwith research focused mainly on measuring impact and influence of this adoption. Conclusion: The HIT community is giving birth to interdisciplinary research and clear methods to optimize implementation and subsequent achievement of managerial objectives. It also tries to synthesize the major findings in workshops, meetings and networks. The best paper selection of articles on human factors shows examples of excellent research on methods concerning original options to assess the importance of healthcare personnel psycho-sociology when confronted to the adoption of new tools and process which still does not prevent failures but will help learning from them.

Sociotechnical Analysis

Many unintended and undesired consequences of healthcare information technologies (HIT) are generated by interactions between newly introduced HIT and the existing healthcare organization’s sociotechnical system--its workflows, culture, social interactions, physical environment, and technologies. This chapter presents and illustrates a model of these interactions that we call interactive sociotechnical analysis (ISTA). ISTA places special emphasis on recursive processes (i.e., feedback loops that alter the uses of the newly introduced HIT) promote second-level changes in the social system, and sometimes lead to changes in the new HIT systems themselves. We discuss ISTA’s implications for improving HIT implementation practices and suggest how clinicians, IT specialists, and managers can better anticipate likely consequences of introducing HIT; more effectively diagnose unforeseeable consequences which emerge during implementation; and better respond to these emerging consequences.

Model Driven Approach

Summary Background: Healthcare information technologies have the potential to transform nursing care. However, healthcare information systems based on conventional software architecture are not semantically interoperable and have high maintenance costs. Health informatics standards, such as controlled terminologies, have been proposed to improve healthcare information systems, but their implementation in conventional software has not been enough to overcome the current challenge. Such obstacles could be removed by adopting a multilevel model-driven approach, such as the open EHR specifications, in nursing information systems. Objectives: To create an open EHR archetype model for the Functional Status concepts as published in Nursing Outcome Indicators Catalog of the International Classification for Nursing Practice (NOIC-ICNP). Methods: Four methodological steps were followed: 1) extraction of terms from the NOICICNP terminology; 2) identification of previously published open EHR archetypes; 3) assessment of the adequacy of those open EHR archetypes to represent the terms; and 4) development of new open EHR archetypes when required. Results: The “Barthel Index” archetype was retrieved and mapped to the 68 NOIC-ICNP Functional Status terms. There were 19 exact matches between a term and the correspondent archetype node and 23 archetype nodes that matched to one or more NOIC-INCP. No matches were found between the archetype and 14 of the NOIC-ICNP terms, and nine archetype nodes did not match any of the NOIC-ICNP terms. Conclusions: The open EHR model was sufficient to represent the semantics of the Functional Status concept according to the NOICICNP, but there were differences in data granularity between the terminology and the archetype, thus producing a significantly complex mapping, which could be difficult to implement in real healthcare information systems. However, despite the technological complexity, the present study demonstrated the feasibility of mapping nursing terminologies to open EHR archetypes, which emphasizes the importance of adopting the multilevel model-driven approach for the achievement of semantic interoperability between healthcare information systems.

Summary Objectives To summarize current excellent research in the field of bio-medical informatics human factors. Methods We provide a synopsis of the articles selected for the IMIA yearbook 2009, from which we attempt to derive a synthetic overview of the activity and new trends in the field. A special attention was made to pick papers also from non bio-medical informatics special ized journals and to perform a worldwide selection. Results while the state of the research in the field of human factors is illustrated by a set of fairly heterogeneous studies, it is possible to identify trends. Thus, clearly, the importance of issues related to healthcare information technologies (HIT) adoption, still occupies a central role in the field. Conclusions Convincing the clinicians of the HIT potential gains is still a challenge. But the HIT community will also have to give birth to interdisciplinary research and clear methods to optimize imple mentations and subsequent achievement of managerial objectives. The best paper selection of articles on human factors shows ex amples of excellent research on methods concerning original options to once again assess the importance of HIT and take into account the healthcare personnel psychology when confronted to the adop tion of new tools and processes.
