Human Factors in Healthcare AI: Where Patient Safety Meets Real-World Implementation

Author: HealthIMPACT Live December 2, 2025 Duration: 36:00

Joining us is Kristen Miller, Co-Director of MedStar Health's Center for Diagnostic Systems Safety and Scientific Director of their National Center for Human Factors in Healthcare. As healthcare organizations invest billions in AI technologies, Kristen's research reveals that human factors engineering - the science of how humans interact with complex systems - determines whether AI becomes a safety enhancer or safety hazard, whether patients embrace or resist these tools, and whether healthcare teams achieve promised efficiencies or face new workflow disruptions.

Each week, Digital Health Talks-Changemakers Focused on Fixing Healthcare brings you straight to the intersection of medicine and innovation. This isn't about abstract theories; it's a grounded conversation with the clinicians, administrators, and technology leaders who are actively redesigning systems. You'll hear their firsthand accounts of implementing tools like telehealth platforms and AI-driven analytics to tackle real-world problems-from expanding access in underserved communities to personalizing patient care. The discussions cut through the hype, focusing on practical applications of cloud infrastructure, 5G, and machine learning that are making a measurable difference today. Produced by HealthIMPACT Live, the podcast digs into the nuanced questions these changemakers face: deciding where limited resources are best invested, how to ethically leverage patient data, and what it truly takes to improve clinical outcomes. If you're curious about the tangible work being done to reshape our healthcare experience, this is a place to listen in on the honest, complex, and hopeful work of building a better system.
