Book Description
Woodmyst flourishes, emerging from a quaint hamlet into a city over a short span of time. The new walls surrounding the community have been all but completed and the population continues to grow. Crops are harvested, livestock are flourishing and the stores are fully stocked. Woodmyst and her allies appear to be enjoying a bountiful time of peace. All except for Alice Warde, a twelve-year-old girl who feels less at home in the thriving city than she does in the wilds of the woodlands and beyond. Possessing the traits of a well-trained soldier, weapon smith and tracker, the girl has learnt the art of survival from a very young age. Alice is unlike any other, possessing newly acquired abilities and talents, similar to those of her mother and aunt, that evoke fear amongst a number of the citizens of Woodmyst. As the girl establishes a home away from the community, new threats from the north make their way towards the city. Alice has inadvertently made herself the first line of defence for Woodmyst. Will her skills be enough to help her? Can she survive on her own? If not, what will become of Woodmyst?

Context Sensitive Health Informatics: Human and Sociotechnical Approaches
Author: M.-C. Beuscart-Zéphir
Publisher: IOS Press
ISBN: 1614992932
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Healthcare information technologies are now routinely deployed in a variety of healthcare contexts. These contexts differ widely, but the smooth integration of IT systems is crucial, so the design, implementation, and evaluation of safe, effective, efficient and easy to adopt health informatics involves careful consideration of both human and organizational factors. This book presents the proceedings of the Context Sensitive Health Informatics (CSHI) conference, held in Copenhagen, Denmark, in August 2013. The theme of this year’s conference is human and sociotechnical approaches. The Human Factors approach is distinctly design-driven and aims to optimize performance, safety and users’ sense of well-being associated with their use of a system through the application of user-centered systems design and evaluation. The papers and presentations included here are grouped under the topics: patients and IT; usability test and evaluation; work tasks and related contexts; human factors and simulation; and context and systems design, and outline theories and models for studying contextual issues and insights related to how health information technologies can be better designed to accommodate different healthcare contexts. Healthcare organizations, health policy makers and regulatory bodies globally are starting to acknowledge this essential role of human and organizational factors for safe and effective health information technology. This book will be of interest to all those involved in improving the quality of healthcare worldwide.

Human Error, Safety and Systems Development
Author: Philippe Palanque
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 364211749X
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 125
Book Description
th HESSD 2009 was the 7 IFIP WG 13.5 Working Conference in the series on Human Error, Safety and Systems Development which looks at integration of usability, human factors and human–computer interaction within system - th velopment. This edition was jointly organized with the 8 TAMODIA event on Tasks, Models and Diagrams for User Interface Development. There is an obvious synergy between the two previously separated events, as a rigorous, - gineering approach to user interface development can help in the prevention of human error and the maintenance of safety in critical interactive systems. Following the tradition of HESSD events, the papers in these proceedings address the problem of developing systems that support human interaction with complex, safety-critical applications. The last 30 years have seen a signi?cant reduction in the accident rates across many di?erent industries. Given these achievements, why do we need further research in this area? Recent accidents in a range of industries have increased concern over the design, management and control of safety-critical systems. Therefore, any system that involves human lives in its functioning is subject to safety-criticalaspects. Contributions such as the one by Holloway and Johnson (2004) report that over 80% of accidents in aeronautics are attributed to human error.
