    Veale Initiative for

    Health Care Innovation Overview:

    The Veale Initiative for Health Care Innovation is a project that will tackle health care's biggest issues with innovation and test ways to transform healthcare.

    Healthcare's biggest problems, like reducing hospital costs and allowing people to heal at home rather than in a hospital, require new approaches.

    The solutions that the Veale initiative finds-based on innovations and technology-will be implemented across UH and other health systems.

    UH Ventures Overview:

    UH Ventures (UHV)-the innovation and commercialization arm of University Hospitals (UH)-develops innovative new business models, products, solutions, and companies that leverage existing UH capabilities to benefit patients/consumers and develop new revenue for the hospital system.

    UHV is an entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial engine that guides the organization's effort to expand its care delivery enterprise through the optimization of high performing assets and through establishing novel and innovative growth channels.

    Position Summary/Essential Duties:

    This new Initiative is a transdisciplinary undertaking that brings together the resources and capabilities of three domains:
    The Office of Clinical Transformation, Department of Operational Effectiveness, and UH Ventures.

    The Human Factors Engineer will formally sit within UH Ventures but will be wholly committed to this joint initiative.

    This individual will report directly to the Director of Design Operations of the Veale Initiative for Health Care Innovation (structurally part of UH Ventures) and will be responsible for ensuring the development and implementation of user-centered and intuitive healthcare solutions.

    There will be human-centered designer(s) who will take the lead in the user/design research but the overall work will be collaborative.

    Apply human factors engineering principles to design intuitive and efficient user interfaces (e.g., software UI) and interactions (e.g., how people and processes, services, or experiences 'fit' or can fit better from a cognitive, physical, or emotional dimension).



    • User Interface (UI)

    Design:
    Create user-friendly and visually appealing interfaces for healthcare applications and systems. Design and be the 'guardian' of wireframes, mockups, and interactive prototypes to communicate design concepts.

    Additionally, he/she may be asked to support other enterprise initiatives such as high reliability medicine (HRM) and zero harm work tied to clinical operations and quality improvement.

    Human Factors Engineering:
    Apply human factors engineering principles to optimize the interaction between users and healthcare systems. Conduct task analyses, workflow analyses, and cognitive workload assessments to identify potential usability challenges. Propose design enhancements to improve efficiency, safety, and user satisfaction.


    • Risk Assessment Assistance around 'Zero Harm': Support the team in conducting risk assessments and harm/hazard analyses related to human factors and use error for product design. Contribute to the development of strategies and recommendations to mitigate identified risks.

    Collaboration and Communication:
    Collaborate closely with designers, engineers, clinicians, and stakeholders to ensure seamless integration of UX/UI design principles. Clearly communicate design concepts, rationale, and user insights to team members and stakeholders. Facilitate design reviews and workshops to gather feedback and ensure alignment.


    Design System Development:
    Contribute to the development and maintenance of a comprehensive design system for the hospital system.

    Create and document design guidelines, patterns, and components to ensure consistency and efficiency in UX/UI design across applications and systems.
