Human Factors Engineering and Human–Computer Interaction: Supporting User Performance and Experience

Abstract

Learning Objectives: - Understand how human factors engineering (HFE) and human–computer interaction (HCI) are defined and why they are important to the success of clinical informatics. - Identify models, theories, and principles of HFE and HCI that can be used to design and evaluate a range of clinical informatics systems. - Describe the processes or practices used by HFE and HCI professionals to design and evaluate a system for usability (including effectiveness, effi ciency, and satisfaction). Core Content: - Human factors engineering (HFE) - Models, theories, and practices HFE and human–computer interaction (HCI) domains - HFE and HCI principles of design and evaluation for usability - HFE and HCI methods of design and evaluation for usability - The nature and cognitive aspects of human decision making - Quality and safety issues related to user interface design - Human and social issues in clinical informatics design and evaluation
