13
Evaluation of Usability Axiom 1 Axiom 1 –Users must be an early and continuous focus during interface design Axiom 2 Axiom 2 –The design process should be iterative, allowing for evaluation and correction of identified problems Axiom 3 Axiom 3 –Formal evaluation should take place using rigorous experimental and/or qualitative methods. ( McGonigle & Mastrian, 2009, p. 65-72)
14
Advantages Standardization of ordering process Standardization of ordering process Decrease in transcription errors Decrease in transcription errors Decrease in percentage of medication errors Decrease in percentage of medication errors Virtual access to the electronic ordering process Virtual access to the electronic ordering process Able to customize ordering process to physician needs Able to customize ordering process to physician needs (Newell & Christensen, 2003, p 29-35.)
15
Disadvantages Full physician utilization and universal compliance is required Full physician utilization and universal compliance is required Adoption committee required Adoption committee required Not as effective or useful unless it is integrated with other clinical information systems Not as effective or useful unless it is integrated with other clinical information systems Costs Costs (Newell & Christensen, 2003, p 29-35.)
16
Ethical/Legal Issues Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) –Must ensure that patient information is protected –Access to computer systems = access to patient information
