As machines increasingly behave more like active cognitive agents than passive tools, additional heuristics for supporting joint human-machine activity are urgently needed to complement existing usability heuristics. Despite the rich and extensive design guidance produced by forty years of cognitive systems engineering (CSE) and related fields, the...
Background
Large-scale burn disasters can produce casualties that threaten medical care systems. This study proposes a new approach for developing hospital readiness and preparedness plan for these challenging beyond-surge-capacity events.
Methods
The Formosa Fun Coast Dust Explosion (FFCDE) was studied. Data collection consisted of in-depth inter...
We introduce the concept of machine fitness assessment, which is the process of correctly determining the degree of fit between a machine’s inferences on a specific world and the world itself. We describe its importance in complex, high-stakes worlds, including healthcare, and how it will be critically important to realize the potential of consumer...
Changes in alarm perception and response after prolonged daily exposure is not well studied due to the difficulties in setting up rigorous longitudinal studies in real work domains. A prime example of this is the absence of research studying how conveyed urgency and identifiability of auditory alarms change over time. We conducted a three-year stud...
Despite noticeable efforts over the last 30 years to try and resolve the clinical alarm problem, the utilization of opinion-based and nonscientific alarm interventions has resulted in ineffective solutions. The field of human factors offers many insights to permanently solving the burdens of this problem, however often times the field’s direct appl...
Purpose:
To provide an insight into the challenges faced by the closest hospital to the Formosa Fun Coast Dust Explosion (FFCDE) disaster scene, and to examine how the hospital staff adapted to cope with the mass burn casualty (MBC) in their overcrowded emergency department (ED) after the disaster.
Material and methods:
The critical incident tec...
