When: Monday, April 10, 5:00 PM- 6:00PM Where: 210 Baker Systems Title: PROFILES IN OUTRAGE: Medical Device Design Failures (or 'Why can't a widget be more like a (hu)man?') Speaker: Matthew Weinger, MD Norman Ty Smith Chair in Patient Safety and Medical Simulation Brief Description: Using specific medical devices as case examples, Dr. Weinger will discuss issues in user interface design for the medical domain, with an emphasis on safety and usability principles. He also will present a structured approach to user interface design. Biosketch: Matthew B. Weinger, MS, MD Dr. Weinger is the Norman Ty Smith Chair in Patient Safety and Medical Simulation and a Professor of Anesthesiology, Biomedical Informatics, and Medical Education at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. He also serves as the Director of the Vanderbilt Center for Perioperative Research in Quality, Head of the Center for Medical Simulation, and the Co-Director of the Middle Tennessee Center for Improving Patient Safety. He is a staff physician and a member of the Health Services R&D Service at the Middle Tennessee VA Healthcare System. Dr. Weinger received a Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and a Master's degree in Biology (neurosciences) from Stanford University in 1978. He completed his MD degree at the University of California-San Diego in 1982 and did his anesthesiology residency training at the University of California-San Francisco. He received fellowship training (1986) at the Scripps Research Institute (La Jolla, CA) in neuropharmacology and, in 1996 at Stanford University, in the Management of Perioperative Services. Dr. Weinger has been teaching and conducting research in anesthesia patient safety, human factors, and clinical decision making for almost two decades. He received the James S. Todd Memorial Award for Patient Safety Research from the National Patient Safety Foundation in 1998. Dr. Weinger has received over $3 million in direct research support from federal agencies and foundations. He has over 100 publications that cover a range of topics including human factors, use error, user interface design, measures of clinician performance, workload, alarms and vigilance, the nature of clinical experience, automation, clinician fatigue, and clinical decision support. In 2004, Dr. Weinger was selected as one of the top 100 notable people in the medical device industry by Medical Device and Diagnostic Industry magazine. Particular technologies of interest include physiological displays, infusion pumps, and information management systems. He has served as consultant and advisor for a number of medical device companies. Dr. Weinger is on the Editorial Board of the journal Human Factors. He is Co-Chairman of the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) Human Factors Committee that is developing national standards for all medical device user interfaces. Dr. Weinger is also an Executive member of the Board of Directors of the Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation, is a Past President of the Society for Technology in Anesthesia, and an Associate Examiner for the American Board of Anesthesiologists. He serves on a number of academic, scientific, and corporate Advisory Boards. Dr. Weinger lives in Nashville, Tennessee with his wife, daughter, two golden retrievers, a hamster, and a fish named Zenon. He enjoys tennis, running, snowboarding, cooking, and gardening. |
