Schumacher, Robert, North, Robert, Quinn, Matthew, Patterson, S., Militello, Laura G., Fairbanks, Rollin J. (Terry) and Gibbons, M. Chris (2012): What Can Human Factors Contribute to Improve Electronic Health Record Usability and Patient Safety?. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 2012 Annual Meeting 2012. pp. 763-766.

“The panel brings together diverse perspectives to bear on one critical question: (1) How can human factors methods improve usability in order to protect patient safety with the use of electronic health records? Panelists represent the viewpoint of the government's role in encouraging collaboration and use of best practices, best practices in electronic health record evaluations for hospitals and special considerations for pediatric populations, the role of workflow in protecting patient safety, applying cognitive task analysis and abstraction hierarchies to inform imaging system design, and the influence of health disparities on the use of consumer health products by patients.”

“To provide a forum to discuss how system development techniques and approaches which have proved successful for weapon systems can be applied to the design and development of non defense related systems.”

Boettcher, Kevin, North, Robert and Riley, Victor (1989): On Developing Theory-Based Functions to Moderate Human Performance Models in the Context of Systems Analysis. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 105-109.

“Preliminary work is described toward the development of moderator functions for systems analysis that reflect human behavioral limitations and tendencies. In particular, a model of human-machine interaction dynamics in complex systems is introduced to give a moderating influence on overall operator/decision aid performance. A key input to this model is the operator's current workload. To further ground the moderator function in human behavioral considerations, a multiple resource theory-based workload assessment technique is used to provide this input.”
