Workflow, Human-Centered Design, and Implementation

School of Medicine

The course will cover three main topic areas: workflow, human-centered design, and implementation. Each topic area will include three course segments: principles, methods, and applications. In the principles section for each topic, the course will clearly define terminology related to the topic area (e.g., What is workflow?), review how key concepts relate to each other (e.g., relationship between human factors engineering and human-computer interaction), and examine the relevance of the topic area in Applied Clinical Informatics. The methodology section for each topic will address qualitative, quantitative, and computational methods used for the design, implementation, and evaluation of health information technology. The applications section for each topic will use case studies based in the topic area to examine the real world application of principles and methods. The course will cover a wide range of contexts, from homes/communities to organizations to a broader regional scale.
