Toward a best practice for laboratory-based usability evaluations of mobile ICT for hospitals
Ole Andreas Alsos, Yngve Dahl · 2008
The dynamic nature of clinical work makes it challenging to assess the usability of mobile information and communication technology (ICT) for hospitals. To achieve some of the realism of field evaluations, combined with the control of laboratory-based evaluations, we have conducted usability tests of prototypes in a laboratory custom designed as a full-scale ward section. Nurses and physicians acting out simulated clinical scenarios have used the prototypes.
