SST presented at 2025 HFES International Symposium on Human Factors and Ergonomics in Healthcare
Spectrum Software Technology (SST), in collaboration with Visionary Consulting Partners, LLC, ZeroTrusted.ai, and Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), presented our proceedings paper titled “Trust, Security, and Regulatory Compliance in AI: Literature and Practical Experience, and the Way Forward for AI in Healthcare” at the 2025 HFES International Symposium on Human Factors and Ergonomics in Health Care. This year’s event took place from March 30 – April 2, 2025 in Toronto, Canada. This annual event highlights insights on the latest science and best practices, as well as innovations in the safety of health care providers and patients.
Our proceedings paper explores future considerations for AI in healthcare, emphasizing data management, human factors, and regulatory compliance with, for example, the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) AI 100-1 and AI 600-1, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH), and Health Information Trust Alliance (HITRUST). We review the HF literature and industry developments relating to AI’s trustworthiness from the standpoints of automation trust theory and security/privacy.
This collaborative research highlights the importance of securing AI applications to protect them from adversarial attacks that can undermine the reliability and security of healthcare AI systems. In addition to technological defenses, human factors such as trust, system confidence, and UI and interaction design also play critical roles in the overall security framework.
“We’re thrilled to share this collaborative research at 2025 HFES International Symposium on Human Factors and Ergonomics in Health Care.” said Sid Leung, President at SST. “Our partnerships with Visionary Consulting Partners, ZeroTrusted.ai, and Southwest Research Institute are key to exploring how AI can drive innovation in human factors.”

Department of Veterans Affairs – the Visionary / SST team, wins task order 14 under the $25m IDIQ for Human Factors Services
As a principal Subcontractor to Visionary Consulting Partners, LLC, Spectrum Software Technology, Inc. (SST), under the Veterans Administration IDIQ won Task Order 14 – Modernization of Health Information Technology Systems:
The Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) includes many frameworks that can be applied to a complex adaptive system like modernizing Health Information Technology (HIT) systems. A critical component includes the functional decomposition of the complex system into elements that can be structured in a way to better understand the complexity and diversity of individual user groups’ requirements, in order to optimize to overall system design. The importance of a functional analysis is tethered to the critical business and user requirements, where the decomposition can be used to simplify the design validation and compliance with established functional capabilities. This process creates traceability with functional capabilities and performance criteria and provides clarity to all user groups as to the maturity of the system being transitioned to and the likelihood of successful adoption without complex workarounds that impact enterprise standardization. This information will inform the suitability of system design using simulation methods for human-system performance risks and evaluation of performance that determine the system adequacy and effectiveness.
A key priority for Clinical Informatics and Data Management Office (CIDMO) is the creation of standardized models of care. One element of these models is the processes and workflows required to support and execute care delivery best practices. Once there is a clearly documented understanding of current state workflow, activities can be completed to redesign, improve, grow, and optimize the workflows that are part of the system of practice. Evidenced-based business process reengineering involves the necessary analysis and redesign of core business (e.g., clinical, administrative, etc.) processes/systems to achieve improvements in performance, productivity, safety, and quality.
As one of three companies selected out of a pool of competitors, this momentous win will allow the Visionary | SST Team to continue our commitment to our Nations’ Veterans and their families. [...]
