Building on BMI 501 as a prerequisite, this course reviews the interdisciplinary theoretical frameworks, design concepts and analytical foci used in human factors engineering and ergonomics for biomedical information systems. These include the physical, cognitive, organizational/social and environmental challenges of human-computer interactions and a range of human factors approaches to systems design and evaluation. The course also looks at the mediating roles of information technology on clinical and research user performance and the potential implications of a range of innovative new design concepts for biomedical information systems.
