Principles and Creative Human Factors Approaches, Third Edition

Designing for Older Adults

Current and emerging trends in the domains of health management and the work sector, the abundance of new consumer products pervading the marketplace, and the desires of many older adults to undertake new learning experiences means that older adults, like their younger counterparts, will need to continually engage in new learning and training. Thus, understanding the challenges that older people face when confronted with new learning and training programs and developing potential strategies to overcome them is imperative. A comprehensive state-of-the-science review, Designing Training and Instructional Programs for Older Adults explores a broad range of issues, from the implications of theories of learning for designing instruction for older adults to adapting current perspectives on methods of instructional design to accommodate the capabilities and limitations of older learners. The authors provide an understanding of today‘s older adults their demographics, their needs, the challenges facing them, and a realistic appraisal of their abilities and limitations as a basis for how current knowledge about training and instructional design should be shaped and applied to best accommodate this population of learners. They discuss topics such as retention and transfer of training, sequencing the order of instruction, e-learning, multimedia training formats, and the assessment and evaluation of training programs from the perspective of issues relevant to older learners. They also highlight the challenges presented by this very heterogeneous group that varies tremendously in backgrounds, skills, knowledge, and abilities. Focusing on how learning occurs, the authors balanced coverage makes the book readable and enlightening across a wide spectrum of professionals and academics, including human factors/ergonomics specialists, gerontologists, managers, educators, undergraduate and graduate students, and the design community.

Providing up-to-date, practical advice on how to design, select, and structure telemedicine interventions with older adults, this book discusses the age-related changes that can affect the efficacy of these systems. It defines best practices and general guidelines for telemedicine use with older populations of both patients and health care practitioners. Ideal for anyone interested in designing, delivering or evaluating telehealth interventions for older adults, this book gives the necessary background on aging and human factors issues as well as the specific keys needed to implement a successful program.

As simple and straightforward as two health professionals conferring over the telephone or as complex and sophisticated as robotic surgery between facilities at different ends of the globe, telehealth is an increasingly frequent component in healthcare. A primer on the human factors issues that can influence how older adults interact with telehealth systems, Designing Telehealth for an Aging Population: A Human Factors Perspective examines the new ways patients and healthcare providers communicate to achieve the same or better outcomes than with traditional face-to-face healthcare.The authors examine older adult capabilities and provide standards and guidelines for telehealth design, enlivened by clinical examples and tutorials on human factors methodologies. They take a systematic look at how the use of human factors principles can facilitate the successful development, deployment, and maintenance of telehealth technology to better serve the aging population. The authors have carefully stayed away from academic writing, distilling their experience in the form of basic observations and principles drawn from their work. They include suggested readings at the end of each chapter that supply the research underpinning their recommendations. The first reference to cover older adult users in an area that will only get bigger, this book sets itself apart by providing focused coverage of the human factors issues specific to aging populations and practical advice on how to accommodate them.

In Mechanism Design and International Risk Regulation Institutions, Mike Nwogugu explains that 'Risk Management Institutions' in this context refers not just to organizations, but also to methods, assets/liabilities, mathematical computations, government interventions and regulations that pertain to global risk management. The author suggests that in order to foster economic growth, international risk regulation should transcend the current emphasis on organizations and assets/liabilities because despite international coordination and new laws enacted in various countries during 2007-2012, risk regulation remains highly ineffective in many countries.

Financial crises, including those related to sub-prime loans/mortgages, have exposed weaknesses in financial markets and risk management institutions worldwide.

The author suggests that in order to foster economic growth, international risk regulation should transcend the current emphasis on organizations and assets/liabilities because despite international coordination and new laws enacted in various countries during 2007-2012, risk regulation remains highly ineffective in many countries. The author also critiques mechanism design theory (a branch of mathematics) and explains how implementation and divisibility are major elements of, and limitations to mechanisms. The author introduces new mechanisms that pertain to banking, external auditing (auditor selection), securitization, franchising, the corporate entity and credit ratings (all of which in their current form are distinct failed mechanisms). In this book, the author introduces new risk management models; and new methods for the risk-based interpretation of national Constitutions; and explains the symbolic and functional importance of Constitutional Political Economy in legislation and risk management. The Author illustrates the effects of risk regulation on economic growth. The book elucidates mechanism design theories as they relate to risk, and analyses antitrust prediction and franchising models within the context of systemic risk. The Author develops new theories of the firm and mathematical models pertaining to bankruptcy, strategic alliances and M&amp;A transactions.
