Abstract

Web interfaces to automated, device-driven health monitoring systems are necessary to narrow and to bridge the quality gap between physiological observation and semiological interpretation. When designed according to metrology principles, such interfaces are useful in overcoming the measurement and data quality problems created by the lack of safety science in health care and the associated cost of cognition, capability, communication, and coordination.
