Framework

  • Task A: log in to the system (3 actions)
  • Task B: selecting a patient (6 actions)
  • Task C: Entering medication data Type 1

– C1: open “nieuwe medicatie opdracht” (12 actions) – C2: correct medication dose selection (13 actions) – C3: adjusting medication frequency (3 actions) – C4: defining start and stop date/time (5 actions)

  • Task D: Entering medication data Type 2

– D1: open “nieuwe medicatie opdracht” (8 actions) – D2: correct medication dose selection (5 actions) – D3: adjusting medication frequency (2 actions) – D4: defining start and stop date/time (4 actions) – D5: Defining motivation for this protocol (5 actions)

Discussion

  • High priority to be fixed
  • Should be validated by the

end users test

  • Easy to be fixed
  • Preventable in the design
  • A human centered design process
  • Application of knowledge from human factors

engineering

  • 56 usability problems
  • 18 major and catastrophic
  • 15 recurring problems
