Applying Macroergonomics to Design and Implement Technologies and Processes in Complex Systems

DescriptionDesigning and implementing technologies and processes in healthcare is complex. Failing to effectively account for the context in which a technology or process is being implemented often leads to unsustainable interventions and unintended consequences. Applications of macroergonomic methods use powerful systems-based approaches for analyzing the complexities of healthcare problems and then designing simple solutions to effectively address those problems. This panel will offer a deep dive into a wide variety case study examples to showcase the complexity and nuances of macroergonomics applications in healthcare settings. Presentations and discussions will illustrates the challenges and practical ways of grappling with messy problems in complex systems. Practitioners, researchers, and students alike will get a deep dive into the complexities and nuances of messy problems in healthcare and practical examples showcasing how practitioners and researchers have grappled with them within real time and resource constraints.
