Summary Objectives: Previous research has shown that medication alerting systems face usability issues. There has been no previous attempt to systematically explore the consequences of usability flaws in such systems on users (i.e. usage problems) and work systems (i.e. negative outcomes). This paper aims at exploring and synthesizing the consequences of usability flaws in terms of usage problems and negative outcomes on the work system. Methods: A secondary analysis of 26 papers included in a prior systematic review of the usability flaws in medication alerting was performed. Usage problems and negative outcomes were extracted and sorted. Links between usability flaws, usage problems, and negative outcomes were also analyzed. Results: Poor usability generates a large variety of consequences. It impacts the user from a cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and attitudinal perspective. Ultimately, usability flaws have negative consequences on the workflow, the effectiveness of the technology, the medication management process, and, more importantly, patient safety. Only few complete pathways leading from usability flaws to negative outcomes were identified.Conclusion: Usability flaws in medication alerting systems impede users, and ultimately their work system, and negatively impact patient safety. Therefore, the usability dimension may act as a hidden explanatory variable that could explain, at least partly, the (absence of) intended outcomes of new technology.

The Relationship

The concept of a high commitment work system (HCWS) has mostly been used in the West to study the relationship between a firm's work systems and organizational performance. In this paper, we introduce a preliminary measure of HCWS in China based on the definition of Baron and Kreps (1999). In study 1, we tested the measure by surveying 442 employees in China's information technology (IT) industry. In study 2, we re-tested the same measure from the perspective of human resource (HR) executives in 126 foreign-invested companies. The analyses not only provided some evidence for the construct validity of this preliminary measure of a high commitment work system, but also produced some interesting results that can only be understood with regards to the history and institutional backgrounds of Chinese organizations.

The development of the business world now requires all forms of business including cooperatives to do various ways to increase productivity and performance. One of the efforts in increasing productivity and performance is by building a high-performance work system. The purpose of this research is to find out the high performance work system in cooperatives. The number of respondents was 132 respondents with factor analysis analysis techniques. From the results of the analysis conducted found three factors as determinants of high performance work systems, namely the method of task delegation, internal planning and motivation.

System Improvement

It was needed an ergonomic work system to increase productivity for the vehicle driver work systems involves a lot of physical activity. Regarding preliminary observations, it showed the work system that was implemented still has shortcomings, unlike the work organization. Therefore, it needs to be prioritized to be improved. It becomes healthier, safer, more comfortable, and more productive. The driver’s work system improvement was carried out with an ergonomics approach. The study design used was the same subject design with ten people sample for each group. The study focused on the application of short rest with indicators of workload and musculoskeletal excitability before and after the short rest application. Based on the results of research and discussion can be concluded. The short rest application reduced the workload of vehicle drivers 28% from the category of moderate workloads to being moderate and reducing musculoskeletal complaints 42.21%.

There are major gaps and barriers for patients and caregivers after hospital discharge to achieve safe medication use. Patients and caregivers are often not ready to take on the responsibility for medication management when transitioned from inpatient care. Current approaches tend to focus on adding isolated strategies. A system thinking can enable a fundamental transformation to redesign professionals’ interactions with patients and caregivers with an explicit goal to develop patients and caregivers into true partners, with targeted roles, skills, attitude, knowledge, and tool support. We must recognize the fact that medication safety during care transition and, more so, at patient homes is the property of a “work system”, in which the patient and caregivers are at the center, with collaboration with health professionals. Innovative ideas are needed to engineer work system components by systematically examining professionals’ interactions with patients and caregivers, such as those during hospital stays and transitions (e.g. follow-up phone calls, community pharmacist consults, and home visits). Based on human factors principles, we describe a set of recommendations on engineering partnership with patients and their caregivers at different stages of a care episode, to enable productive interactions among work systems that are distributed and are often limited in their ability to exchange information and co-align their interests.

This panel will focus upon work systems design from a macroergonomic perspective. The panel will investigate the future of work systems from the viewpoint of: (1) an activity performed by; (2) humans with particular characteristics; (3) in a context. The researchers and practitioners on the panel have focused on one or more of these dimensions of work design/redesign, product design or organizational design. The design of 21st Century systems must take this broader perspective. In the same way, this panel mirrors the diversity of backgrounds, cultures and contexts for future work systems.
