Show Description:

Today we welcome Emily Patterson. Emily is an associate professor in the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences at the Ohio State University. She is known for her application of naturalistic decision-making and cognitive engineering in health care. She did groundbreaking work in bar code medication administration when that technology was new, highlighting unintended consequences and making recommendations to improve the integration of new technologies into workflow. She co-authored the national standard for the summative usability testing methodology for ensuring the safety of electronic health records published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

She has conducted applied research on clinical reminders, alarms, and transitions of care with a focus on improving the efficiency, usability, and accuracy of clinical documentation in electronic health records.
