  10. Allscripts • What does Allscripts do? • How does it do it? • How does Allscripts work?

  11. Evaluating the usuability of this softwareEvaluating the usability of this software • Axiom 1: Users must be an early and continuous focus during the interface design • Axiom 2: The design process should be iterative allowing for evaluation and correction identified • Axiom 3: Formal evaluations should take place using rigorous experimental qualitative methods
