Noa Segall
Assistant Professor in Anesthesiology

My research interests are in human factors engineering in healthcare, with a focus on human-centered design and evaluation of clinical informatics and processes. Among the studies I am working on or have recently completed are (1) a usability evaluation of a patient health record, (2) analysis of information use in intensive care to support better organization of electronic health data, (3) the standardization of patient handovers from the operating room to the intensive care unit, (4) an examination of anesthesia providers' prospective memory errors in the operating room, and (5) simulation to determine the impact of the number of patients monitored by cardiac telemetry technicians on response time to critical arrhythmias.
