BACKGROUND As the demands on the emergency medicine (EM) system continue to increase, improvements in the organization of work and the access to timely clinical and system information will be required for providers to manage their workload in a safe and efficient manner. Information technology (IT) solutions are beginning to find their place in the emergency department (ED) and it is time to be...

Workload is an index introduced in the 70 for ergonomic purposes, for evaluating the adequacy of tasks to the human operator abilities. Methods based on a self evaluation such as SWAT and TLX gave the best results, but mainly for assessing a total workload after the task has been performed. But in highly dynamical systems as transportation, the driver (or pilot) abilities can be enhanced by dri...

Abstract The performance levels of a computing machine running given workload configuration are crucial for both users and providers resources. Knowing how well is with critical to making proper resource allocation decisions. In this paper, we introduce novel framework deriving indicators configuration. We propose workload/machine index score (WISE) fitness combination. WISE indicates specific ...
