Medical Device Usability from a Clinically Embedded Perspective

Brittany Anderson-Montoya, PhD, Human Factors Specialist
Atrium Health

Recorded on October 6, 2020

While significant advancement has been made by the FDA and medical device manufacturers to develop safer medical products, opportunity remains to mitigate risk associated with medical devices. Healthcare organizations who purchase devices for use within their system can play a more active role in this process by developing a human factors product framework for medical devices. This webinar will discuss how Atrium Health developed a product framework focused on medical device usability procurement testing, adverse event investigation when a device is involved, and partnering with clinical engineering to identify “no fault found” and doing ethnographic observation to determine if there is an education gap or significant usability concern. Further, we will discuss how healthcare organizations can provide feedback to manufacturers regarding usability concerns of medical devices, thus providing valuable end user usability data for future device iterations.
