Our Research Scholars Present at the Healthcare Systems Process Improvement Conference

🌟 Advancing Postpartum Care with Human Factors Engineering 🌟

We are thrilled to share that Prajina Edayath, Jessica Sanchez, and Juliana Guevara, research scholars at the PIC-HFE Research Lab, recently presented their work at the Healthcare Systems Process Improvement (HSPI) 2025 Conference in Atlanta! πŸŽ‰

Their research focuses on postpartum careβ€”a critical yet often overlooked aspect of maternal health. Using the SEIPS 3.0 framework, they explored system-level factors impacting postpartum care to better understand gaps and opportunities for improvement. Their findings emphasize the need for a multidimensional approach to postpartum support, highlighting areas like family involvement, healthcare system design, and environmental factors that influence maternal outcomes.

Why does this matter?

🚺 1 in 3 mothers experiences postpartum complications.
πŸ₯ Quality of care during this period can reduce maternal mortality and morbidity.
πŸ›  A systems approach can help design more effective and equitable postpartum care models.

At PIC-HFE, we are passionate about using human factors and systems engineering to address real-world healthcare challenges. If you’re a student or researcher interested in impact-driven work at the intersection of healthcare, human factors, and systems design, we’d love to have you join our team!
