URGENT! Need Usability/Clinical Application Design Case Studies by May 15, 2008
Do you have an example of a case study that illustrates usability and clinical design in a nursing practice environment? We are looking for a variety of real-life examples that have applied usability and clinical design into their processes, applications and evaluation of information systems and/or technology at the point-of-care. Usability is the ease to learn, remember and use specific clinical applications or products. Usable designs fit with the way people think and do work. Good clinical design that serves nurses as knowledge-workers: engages nurses and interdisciplinary colleagues in the design/validation process; focuses on the patient experience; supports and reflects professional scope of practice (vs tasks); and provides evidence-based knowledge/clinical decision support at the point-of-care and across the continuum of care. We want to demonstrate best practice exemplars as well as lessons learned that can help others avoid common pitfalls and mistakes.

Work Group 1 - Create a list of relevant resources and references on clinical application design and usability.
Work Group 2 - Collect case studies and examples that illustrate usability and clinical application design best and worst practices in various clinical environments.
Work Group 3 - Summarize recommendations for highly usable applications and good clinical application design.
Work Group 4 - Develop recommendations for working with vendors to provide feedback on usability and clinical application design.
Work Group 5 - Develop a "toolkit" for healthcare providers to use to facilitate and support better usability and clinical application design.
