This purpose of this panel is to debate the challenges, directions, and opportunities for design in medical work domains. One of the ultimate goals is to have the Human Factors community establish a leadership position in medical design practice. The panelists will discuss various perspectives and issues related to problem identification, data collection, analysis, design, and implementation. These views set the stage for creating recommendations that can be implemented and have real impact.
