Cognitive Aids: Design Suggestions for the Medical Field
The high task and emotional demands of healthcare drain individual cognitive
affective
and physical resources. When these resources are depleted
practitioners are no longer able to vigilantly prevent system-based errors from occurring. Cognitive aids have frequently been suggested—and implemented—as a method to reduce the cognitive load associated with medical practice. Although cognitive aids can offer true benefits
haphazard implementation and overuse has led to “checklist fatigue.” To avoid this misuse and to maximize the benefits of these beneficial tools
we suggest that cognitive aids should be clear
easy to use
adaptable to the context
properly trained prior to implementation
pilot tested
and based on a needs-analysis. Furthermore
it appears that best practices for one type of cognitive aid in one context cannot necessarily be generalized to another. Therefore
this qualitative synthesis of the literature aims to provide three contextual factors to consider when addressing an issue with a cognitive aid. Designers and administrators need to consider the skill type that will be addressed
the physical
social
and organizational environment in which the aid will be utilized
as well as the experience level of the targeted users.
Cognitive Aids: Design Suggestions for the Medical Field
Patient handoffs can look very different depending on the context
but regardless of the situation
they are a major vulnerability in patient care. The current regulations of resident work-hours have increased the frequency of handoffs
thereby increasing the risk to patients and the need to understand how to optimize the procedure. Moreover
the time pressure that many handoffs from one department to the next face pose a unique set of teamwork and communication challenges that need to be further explored. This expert panel will engage in discussion regarding the current state of medical team handoffs: in multiple contexts
how to use technology and the environment to increase their efficiency
and the role of human factors in creating a safer patient handoff.
