Clinicians are being presented with increasingly complex user interfaces to diagnostic and therapeutic systems. At the same time, their managers are being faced with the challenge of purchasing, maintaining and integrating new systems into already complex operational structures. These factors raise profound issues that affect systems development, clinical training, managerial control and incident reporting. This workshop will, therefore, provide a forum for practitioners and researchers to discuss leading edge techniques that can be used to assess and mitigate the impact of human error with complex clinical systems. Our intention is to focus the workshop upon techniques that can be easily integrated into existing clinical practices. With this in mind, each day will have a different theme. The session on Thursday 15th April will focus on human error in the operation of clinical systems. Friday, 16th will focus more narrowly upon the management of these systems within clinical environments. We would also encourage papers that cross these boundaries. Saturday 17th April will provide the opportunity for informal discussions about the issues raised during the workshop. The day will be spent on the Isle of Arran, off the west Coast of Scotland. It is NOT necessary to submit a paper in order to attend the event but please register your interest with the organisers as places are limited. Deadlines: Authors should submit extended abstracts (approximately 3 sides of A4/US letter) to Chris Johnson, see below, to arrive no later than February 24th, 1999. Authors will be notified of the programme committee's decision and revised full papers must be returned by March 17th for inclusion in the proceedings. Full papers, up to twenty-five pages of A4, will be selected for a forthcoming book to be edited in this area.
