Robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) integration presents challenges beyond surgeon skill, impacting teams and workflows. Human factors research offers solutions for optimizing complex technology in the operating room for improved safety and quality.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Technology Integration
  • Human-Systems Engineering in Medicine
  • Operating Room Workflow Optimization

Background:

  • Introduction of new operating room technologies, such as robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), offers potential benefits but introduces integration challenges.
  • Historically, RAS implementation has primarily focused on surgeon console skills, neglecting other team members, workspace utilization, and organizational adjustments.
  • Addressing these complexities is crucial for successful technology adoption in surgical environments.

Approach:

  • Review of human factors studies in robotic surgery, analyzing effects on personnel, teams, processes, and outcomes.
  • Detailed examination of workload, communication, workflow, workspace, and coordination within robotic surgery settings.
  • Application of systems engineering principles to understand and mitigate challenges in surgical technology integration.
