Cost and workforce implications of subjecting all physicians to aviation industry work-hour restrictions.

15 Apr 2009 BACKGROUND: Efforts to improve patient safety have attempted to incorporate aviation industry safety standards. We sought to evaluate the cost and workforce implications of applying aviation duty-hour restrictions to the entire practicing physician ... Read more...

Mass casualty tracking with air traffic control methodologies.

15 Apr 2009 BACKGROUND: An intrahospital casualty throughput system modeled after air traffic control (ATC) tracking procedures was tested in mass casualty exercises. ATC uses a simple tactile process involving informational progress strips representing each ... Read more...

Visual display angles of conventional and a remotely piloted aircraft.

30 Mar 2009 INTRODUCTION: Instrument display separation and proximity are important human factor elements used in the design and grouping of aircraft instrument displays. To assess display proximity in practical operations, the viewing visual angles of various ... Read more...
