Yuval Bitan - Academic Profile
Human Factors engineer, specialized in ways to improve patient safety through the implementation of human factors principles in the healthcare complex working environment.
I received my Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering and Management from the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel. I worked for several software companies and gained experience in developing user centric products and services. I study different aspects of human interaction with complex healthcare systems since 1995.
Since 2004 I am doing research in the Cognitive technologies Laboratories at the University of Chicago, studying system error and how human factors can improve patient safety. Since 2006 I also consult and teach how to improve patient safety through the implementation of human factors principles.
These days I am working as a senior lecturer at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, where I work with my students on varied studies that focus on how clinicians interact with technology in the healthcare complex working environment. I am teaching courses on decision making, human factors and patient safety.
My current research interests include alarm systems, medication safety, implementing safer procedures and processes in medical devices, electronic medical records, and paramedic services (EMS), and decision making in complex systems.
