The article makes several recommendations, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Key stakeholders should use HFE methods and processes when purchasing and implementing health IT systems;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New HFE studies of health IT should specifically address design and development;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Research that evaluates the full cycle of development, implementation, use, evaluation, and improvement should be supported;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New and improved methods and approaches should be developed;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Researchers and policymakers must translate research findings into useful resources for stakeholders; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A more systematic understanding of where we are in designing, deploying, and using useful health IT is needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-looking-ahead\"><strong>Looking Ahead<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowledge about how to best use HFE to improve health IT continues to be an area of great need as evidenced by ONC and AHRQ-funded work, and in recent presentations at the American Medical Informatics Association, the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, and other expert forums and professional societies.&nbsp; ONC looks forward to working with stakeholders in the public and private sector to advance these recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Note: Applied Ergonomics recently published a <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/journal\/applied-ergonomics\/special-issue\/10919TQ3PSF\"><em>special issue<\/em><\/a><em> on advancing theory and methods in human factors and ergonomics for health and healthcare dedicated to the late <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/news.wisc.edu\/industrial-and-systems-engineering-professor-ben-tzion-bentzi-karsh-dies\/\"><em>Bentzi Karsh<\/em><\/a><em>.&nbsp; The special issue examines state-of-the-art and forward-looking work at the intersection of HFE and health or healthcare that is innovative, applied, multidisciplinary, and clearly advances science and practice by developing, applying, or adapting novel theories and methods.&nbsp; Dr. Karsh was an industrial and systems engineer who focused on, among many things, the intersection of HFE and health IT usability, safety, and use issues.&nbsp; He was a leading voice in the field and <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=karsh+bt\"><em>his work<\/em><\/a><em> helped advance our understanding of the need to attend to HFE issues in health IT.&nbsp; Accordingly, topics in this issue relevant to health information technology include user-centered design, usability, adoption, implementation, and acceptance.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For health IT to benefit health and healthcare, it must be useable by \u2013 and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":619,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_selected_menu":"","_show_breadcrumbs":"true","_blog_show_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"archived-category":[716],"featured":[],"topics":[408,415,417],"class_list":["post-17021","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-insights-updates","archived-category-usability","topics-care-continuum","topics-clinical-quality-safety","topics-usability-provider-burden"],"acf":{"blog_authors":[{"blog_author_profiles":"198667"},{"blog_author_profiles":"198562"}],"hp_news_hide":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.8.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Showing the Way to Useful Health IT through Human Factors and Ergonomics - ONC Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Explore how human factors and ergonomics enhance health IT usability, benefiting patients and clinicians.
