NUR 660 - Human Technology Interface

Anytime humans use technology, some type of hardware or software enables or supports the interaction. Poorly designed technology and communication systems can lead to errors, lower productivity, or even the removal of the system. Unfortunately, as more complex health information technology applications are integrated the problems can become even worse. Professionals tend to be very creative and can develop workarounds that allow circumvention of troublesome technology that unfortunately do not offer a long term solution. This course will address the human technology interface, explore human-technology interface problems, provide an overview of the purpose of conducting workflow analysis and design, explore meaningful use, and cite measured of efficiency and effectiveness that can be applied to redesign workflow efforts and processes.
