NI Workshop on Usability Tools to Evaluate Health Information System
Usability factors are a major obstacle to health information technology (IT) adoption. Lack of attention to health IT evaluation may result in dissatisfied users, decreased effectiveness, and increases in error costs. The usability of a technology is determined by user-computer interactions and the degree to which the technology can be successfully integrated to perform a task. Usability testing incorporates the preferences and choices of the users to ensure a tailored, easy-to-use, and user-friendly application. Usability testing employs several tools which will be discussed in the workshop.
Learning Objectives:
- To understand usability, and its importance.
- To develop an understanding of the Health Information System.
- To understand the approaches to evaluate the usability of the systems.
