FYI, it anyone plans to attend AMIA this year. Here is an interesting tutorial on usability and beyond.
T06: Human-Centered Design and Evaluation of Health Information Systems
T06 - EHR Series; Human-Centered Design and Evaluation of Health Information Systems. Jiajie Zhang, University of Texas Health Science at Houston Vimla Patel, Arizona State University. A current and significant challenge in the design and implementation of health information technology (HIT) is to deal with the high failure rate of HIT projects. Most of these failures are not due to flawed technology, but rather due to the lack of systematic considerations of human and other nontechnology issues in the design and implementation processes. In other words, designing and implementing HIT is not so much an IT project as a human project about human-centered computing such as human-computer interaction, workflow, organizational change, and process reengineering. Due to the complexity and unique features of health care, humancentered methods and techniques specifically developed for health care are necessary for the successful development of health information systems that would increase efficiency and productivity, increase ease of use and ease of learning, increase user adoption, retention, and satisfaction, and decrease medical errors, decrease development time and cost, and decrease support and training cost. This tutorial covers a few selected conceptual frameworks, methodologies, techniques, processes, and examples for human-centered design and evaluation of health information systems. By the end of the tutorial, participants will be able to: • Understand the principles of human-centered design • Understand the significance of human-centered design and the consequences of technology-driven development • Use human-centered methodologies and techniques to evaluate health information systems • Use human-centered processes to design health information systems that have good usability. Outline of Topics: • The human side of human-computer interaction • Basic frameworks and methodologies of human-centered design • Usability evaluation techniques • UFuRT: A new framework and process for human-centered design and evaluation • Case studies: Usability evaluation of EHR • Case studies: Usability evaluation of medical devices • Patient safety and human-centered design. Intended Audience: Scientists; researchers; physicians, nurses, and other health care professionals; and computer scientists, system developers, and programmers; graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Content level: 40% basic, 50% intermediate, 10% advanced
Thanks,

Subject: Geek Salad meets Tuesday Oct 14 from 7-8 Am at Kaldi's on 9th and Cherry
Jakob Nielsen just wrote a piece titled "When to Use Which User Experience Research Methods".
Here is the graphic from that article. It's busy.
Maybe your organization needs to use a couple more of these methods.
Which 2 would you promote to your colleagues at work?
See you Tuesday.
By the way, if you prefer not to receive these mailings any more, just reply to this address, and I'll take you off the list.
