Which of the following are typical health care settings for human-technology interfaces?

  1. Automated billing systems, Scheduling systems

  2. Clinical decision support, Electronic Health Records

  3. Laboratory information systems, Pharmacy information systems

  4. Barcoded identification systems, Defibrillators, Patient-controlled medication pumps

The correct answer is: Barcoded identification systems, Defibrillators, Patient-controlled medication pumps

Human-technology interfaces in healthcare settings refer to the interactions between individuals and various technologies utilized in healthcare delivery. Option D includes examples of technologies that directly interact with patients or healthcare providers: barcoded identification systems for accurate patient identification, defibrillators for life-saving intervention, and patient-controlled medication pumps for efficient drug delivery. These technologies exemplify human-technology interfaces within healthcare settings where direct interaction between individuals and technology is essential for providing safe and effective patient care. Options A, B, and C include important healthcare technologies but do not primarily focus on direct interaction between individuals and technology, unlike the examples provided in option D. These options are vital components of healthcare information systems but are not synonymous with human-technology interfaces in the same way as the technologies listed in option D.
