Learners utilize techniques focused on usability evaluations, information visualization, Health IT safety surveillance and related hazards, and implementing technology to prevent errors. The course is designed to enhance learners' ability to identify, design, develop, deploy, and evaluate solutions of the actual work environment. Considerations are taken to include known human abilities, limitations, and baseline human error rates while considering the demands of the complex healthcare environment.
