Martha Vockley, MAPW, is a principal of VockleyLang, LLC, in Reston, VA. Email: mmv@ cox.net When an operator manual for a physiological monitor exceeds 800 pages and a manual for a hospital bed includes more than 100 distinct warnings and over 100 unique icons, it’s clear that medical equipment has become extraordinarily complex. The exponential growth in health technology brings wonderful innovations, many of which may be accompanied by challenges in device mastery for the people who are its…

Evaluating and Predicting Patient Safety for Medical Devices With Integral Information Technology
TLDR
The results show that heuristic evaluation, when modifies for medical devices, is a useful, efficient, and low-cost method for evaluating patient safety features of medical devices through the identification of usability problems and their severities.
Usability evaluation of a personal health record.
TLDR

The $17.1 billion problem: the annual cost of measurable medical errors.
TLDR
An actuarial approach is used to measure the frequency and costs of measurable US medical errors, identified through medical claims data, and it is estimated that the annual cost of measurable medical errors that harm patients was $17.1 billion in 2008.

Surgical technology and operating-room safety failures: a systematic review of quantitative studies
TLDR
Equipment-related failures form a substantial proportion of all error occurring in the OR, and those procedures that rely more heavily on technology may bear a higher proportion of equipment-related error.
Effective in-service training design and delivery: evidence from an integrative literature review
TLDR
An integrative review of the education and training literature was conducted to identify effective training approaches for health worker continuing professional education (CPE) and what evidence exists of outcomes derived from CPE.
ISO 14971: medical devices - application of risk management to medical devices
TLDR
The paper discussed the ISO 14971 standards, intended to help manufacturers to establish a full risk-management process that includes the identification of hazards, the assessment of the related risks, and the implementation of risk control measures.
