IOM Report: Health IT and Patient Safety
Problem
- Poorly designed health IT can create new hazards
in the already complex delivery of care.
- Dosing errors, failure to detect life-threatening illnesses &
delaying treatment due to poor HCI or loss of data
have led to serious injury & death.
Recommendations:
- User-centered design & human factors
applied to health IT

The combination of animation & photo resulted in a significant increase
in error recognition rate relative to the control & animation groups 
Dramatic implications for commercial systems

Take Away Messages
Healthcare is fertile area for HCI & InfoVis
Patient Safety is a national priority
We have tools for analysts
