“…The learning can enable transferability of parts of the findings to other contexts with similar characteristics (Guba 1981). The PS events of this study contribute to the design of hospital work systems, which are socio-technical systems with a complex nature (Hignett et al 2013). Thereby, other socio-technical-based contexts may have the same characteristics and can thereby draw from the PS framework of this study, e.g.…”

A Framework of Knowledge Creation Processes in Participatory Simulation of Hospital Work SystemsParticipatory simulation (PS) is a method to involve workers in simulating and designing their own future work system. Existing PS studies have focused on analysing the outcome, and minimal attention has been devoted to the process of creating this outcome. In order to study this process, we suggest applying a knowledge creation perspective. The aim of this study was to develop a framework describing the process of how ergonomics knowledge is created in PS. Video recordings from three projects applying PS of hospital work systems constituted the foundation of process mining analysis. The analysis resulted in a framework revealing the sources of ergonomics knowledge creation as sequential relationships between the activities of simulation participants sharing work experiences; experimenting with scenarios; and reflecting on ergonomics consequences. We argue that this framework reveals the hidden steps of PS that are essential when planning and facilitating PS that aims at designing work systems.Keywords: participative ergonomics; health care ergonomics; process mining; knowledge creation; work systems Practitioner summary: When facilitating participatory simulation (PS) in work system design, achieving an understanding of the PS process is essential. By applying a knowledge creation perspective and process mining, we investigated the knowledge creating activities constituting the PS process. The analysis resulted in a framework of the knowledge creating process in PS.

“…The design of hospital work systems has been shown to influence healthcare workers' well-being and performance, resulting in impact on patient safety and quality of care (Hignett et al 2013). Therefore, the design of hospital work systems has to support the work and the associated workers.…”

“…In the health care and especially in primary care, feasibility of a tool is an important criterion in establishing or maintaining a relationship between patient and practitioner. Researchers demonstrated, by this consensus process, how feasibility was a decisive factor in choosing a tool with a view to future research in primary care [25] .…”

Which DSM validated tools for diagnosing depression are usable in primary care research? A systematic literature review

et al. 2017

Background:Few clinical diagnostic tools to rule in or rule out depression have been validated in primary care. From a previous systematic review study, it became clear that in terms of research, a validated clinical diagnostic tool (effective, reliable and usable) was needed by European General Practitioner (GP) investigators in order to include patients for research studies in daily practice care and for cross-sectional studies between psychiatrists and GPs.

“…An example of 'macro-ergonomics' are those system approaches which aim to model, observe and enhance the healthcare work environments, the contextual interactions, and healthcare quality and patient safety [21,27,28]. Concurrently HFE can be used by health professionals and administrators to map the device use -i.e., system mapping [29] -and to visually model the health care processes [30] to identify previously unrecognised opportunities in the context to improve patient safety, to define better care practices and to properly define the use of devices [31].…”

Why you need to include human factors in clinical and empirical studies ofin vitropoint of care devices? Review and future perspectives

Use of in-vitro point of care devices -intended as tests performed out of laboratories and near patient -is increasing in clinical environments. International standards indicate that interaction assessment should not end after the product release, yet human factors methods are frequently not included in clinical and empirical studies of these devices. Whilst the literature confirms some advantages of bed-side tests compared to those in laboratories there is a lack of knowledge of the risks associated with their use. This article provides a review of approaches applied by clinical researchers to model the use of in-vitro testing. Results suggest that only a few studies have explored human factor approaches. Furthermore, when researchers investigated peopledevice interaction these were predominantly limited to qualitative and not standardised approaches. The methodological failings and limitations of these studies, identified by us, demonstrate the growing need to integrate human factors methods in the medical field.
