Two Populations

In this study critical care nurses and emergency medical workers (including firefighters, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), and paramedics) were surveyed regarding their opinions of medical device usability. The goal of the study was to determine how the two populations fared in terms of general product understanding, proficiency, usability, and functionality. Furthermore, the study identified similarities and differences between the two populations, and explored areas of medical technology design upon which manufacturers can improve. Results showed that a major concern of both populations was training; nurses and emergency medical workers felt that workloads do not allow time for sufficient mastery of the devices. The respondents also felt that medical devices could be more consistent and less complex. Both groups indicated that it is most important to design products that are easy to learn, easy to use upon first use, and efficient to use long-term.

AbstractThe proliferation of new medical technology and pharmacology forces the medical community to ensure the efficacy and safety of new drugs and devices before their use in patient care. Although traditional medical practices have a fairly consistent means to achieve this end, prehospital medical practice often does not. In addition, it often appears that the emergency medical services marketplace does not always follow conventional supply/demand and cost/quality paradigms. This article describes a process implemented in Pennsylvania to standardize the mechanism by which new drugs and devices are introduced into prehospital medical practice.
