HUMAN FACTORS IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY2
Introduction:
The report discusses about the recommendations that can be adopted by the small
regional hospital so as to assist one of its employee who is suffering from illness. The employee
is a stellar employee and she is suffering from weakness in her left side along with some
lingering sight issues that cannot be resolved by the use of contact lens or glasses. The discussion
carried below helps the hospital management to determine the essential needs for helping out its
employee.
Recommended technology:
The organisation can use some technical items so as to help out its employee who is
suffering from some lingering sight and left side weakness. The hospital can purchase the
“Braille display devices”. They can also make use of the screen readers so as to help the
employee in listening the texts instead of reading the texts. The computers of the employee
should be loaded with the program of screen magnification so as to magnify the text and the
graphics that appears on the screen. Providing the employee with a seating arrangement where
she can meet the light condition that she needs. She can be provided with keyboards with large
key top labels (Houtenville & Kalargyrou, 2012). The display and the printer output can be
modified so as to help her out of the situation. By the use of computer generated symbols both
the texts and the graphics can be enlarged on the monitors and the printers so as to help her out in
performing different tasks like word processing, spreadsheet and many more. Anti-glare screen
can be used so as make the screens much easier to read. The hospital should aim at providing her
with products that provides flexibility in the positioning of monitors, keyboards, documentations,
and table tops as she is suffering from physical weakness (Funk et al., 2015).
