DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): It has been documented that medical professionals are not satisfied with current operating room (OR) safety protocols. Improving safety is not solved by simply introducing new technology. One must understand the culture and practices of the OR prior to introducing new technology. The goal of this proposal is to create an environment in which both biomedical engineers and clinicians can work together to improve safety within the OR. To achieve this, a collaboration between the Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) and the Department of Surgery at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital was recently established. The main objective is to enhance senior BME capstone design experience by providing an opportunity for students to experience user-center design, that is, to provide an opportunity for the students to listen, observe and ask in a real-world setting. The emphasis is that the students will experience the culture of the OR and, based on their insights, develop appropriate technology to address the issue of surgical safety. Through this collaborative effort, the students will learn to identify engineering design problems in a clinical setting and gain knowledge of the overall engineering design process. The innovation of this proposal is that the BME students will be able to design and implement appropriate solutions to improve OR safety. OR safety is a significant problem that currently affects patients, hospitals and the healthcare system. This proposal will have a significant impact on our healthcare system by providing solutions that are contributed by both medical and technical professionals. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: It has been documented that medical professionals are not satisfied with current operating room (OR) safety protocols. Improving safety is not solved by simply introducing new technology. One must understand the culture and practices of the OR prior to introducing new technology. The objective of this proposal is to enhance the existing biomedical engineering (BME) senior capstone design course sequence by collaborating directly with medical professionals to improve OR safety. The innovation is that by working closely with clinicians, the BME students will be able to design and implement appropriate solutions to improve OR safety.

描述（由申请人提供）：已记录到医疗专业人员对当前手术室（或）安全协议不满意。通过简单地引入新技术，不能解决改善安全性。在引入新技术之前，必须了解或在引入新技术之前的文化和实践。该提案的目的是创造一个环境，在该环境中，生物医学工程师和临床医生都可以共同努力，以提高OR内的安全性。为此，最近成立了伊利诺伊州理工学院（IIT）生物医学工程系（BME）与倡导者路德教会综合医院外科部的合作。主要目的是通过为学生提供体验用户中心设计的机会来增强BME高级顶峰设计经验，也就是说，为学生提供了在现实世界中聆听，观察和询问的机会。重点是学生将体验OR的文化，并根据他们的见解，开发出适当的技术来解决手术安全问题。通过这种协作的工作，学生将学习在临床环境中确定工程设计问题，并了解整体工程设计过程。该提案的创新是，BME学生将能够设计和实施适当的解决方案以改善或安全。或安全是当前影响患者，医院和医疗保健系统的重大问题。该提案将通过提供由医疗和技术专业人员提供的解决方案来对我们的医疗保健系统产生重大影响。 公共卫生相关性：已经有记录在医疗专业人员对当前手术室（或）安全协议不满意的情况下。通过简单地引入新技术，不能解决改善安全性。在引入新技术之前，必须了解或在引入新技术之前的文化和实践。该提案的目的是通过直接与医学专业人员合作以提高或安全，从而增强现有的生物医学工程（BME）高级顶峰设计课程。创新是，通过与临床医生紧密合作，BME学生将能够设计和实施适当的解决方案以改善或安全。
