Purpose

Healthcare is entering a new era, with the introduction of sophisticated AI tools and approaches, and yet the need for a deeper understanding of the central importance of the human factors underlying all aspects of the healthcare enterprise, including for preservation and enhancement of value and patient safety in the delivery of personalized healthcare, has never been greater. Our conference will focus on the emerging need for optimization of the human-AI interaction in healthcare, specifically foused on quality, value and patient safety. Our conference will focus on the issues at the intersection of Human Factors Engineering, patient satey, Quality and Value enhancement and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and will bring together recognized academic, clinical and industry experts to provide state-of-the-art knowledge. We will also attempt to define future directions in this field and propose an agenda for future research over the next 5 to 7 years.
