The rapid growth of home health care has raised many unsolved
issues and will have consequences that are far too broad for any
one group to analyze in their entirety. Yet a major influence on
the safety, quality, and effectiveness of home health care will be
the set of issues encompassed by the field of human factors
research-the discipline of applying what is known about human
capabilities and limitations to the design of products, processes,
systems, and work environments. To address these challenges, the
National Research Council began a multidisciplinary study to
examine a diverse range of behavioral and human factors issues
resulting from the increasing migration of medical devices,
technologies, and care practices into the home. Its goal is to lay
the groundwork for a thorough integration of human factors research
with the design and implementation of home health care devices,
technologies, and practices. On October 1 and 2, 2009, a group of
human factors and other experts met to consider a diverse range of
behavioral and human factors issues associated with the increasing
migration of medical devices, technologies, and care practices into
the home. This book is a summary of that workshop, representing the
culmination of the first phase of the study. Table of Contents
