Human Factors Applications in Healthcare
Human Factors Applications in Healthcare
I am deeply passionate about driving positive change in healthcare by focusing on enhancing human factors within complex sociotechnical systems.
With a strong background in psychology and human factors engineering, I possess a unique ability to identify and implement highly effective, human-centered solutions to intricate real-world challenges.
I strive to understand team interaction dynamics in complex, dynamic settings (such as communication), to improve the patient-provider connection, decrease errors, and ultimately enhance well-being and patient outcomes.
My unwavering dedication to fostering innovation and optimizing human-system interactions empowers me to make a meaningful impact in the healthcare industry.

Figure for Paper Published in American Journal of Surgery, "Demands of Surgical Teams in Robotic-Assisted Surgery: An Assessment of Intraoperative Workload Within Different Surgical Specialties"
Robotic-assisted surgery creates new demands for teams that may jeopardize safety.
Quantifying workload by role and procedure type allows for specialized training.
Staff experienced significantly higher workload in gynecology and urology cases.
Surgeons and nurses mainly exceeded workload thresholds for performance safety.
Significant differences were reported for SURG-TLX domains by role and specialty.
Visual Abstract for Paper Published in Obesity Surgery, "Identifying Workflow Disruptions in Robotic-Assisted Bariatric Surgery: Elucidating Challenges Experienced by Surgical Teams"
Human factors engineering can aid in the identification of systems-level issues.
Our work showed that in robotic bariatric surgery, flow disruptions occur more frequently during robot docking and patient transfer phases at a higher rate than previously reported in other specialties (~every 2.4 min).
Coordination and environment disruptions occurred most frequently which has implications for future interventions addressing efficient team planning and case setup.
