Usability Evaluation of AHLTA

Funded by: TATRC

Principle Investigator: Jiajie Zhang, UT-Houston
Co-Principle Investigator: Vimla L. Patel

Human-centered methods and techniques specifically developed for healthcare domains are necessary for the successful development of EHR (Electronic Health Record) systems that increase efficiency, productivity, ease of use, ease of learning, user adoption, retention, and satisfaction, and decrease medical errors, development time and cost, and support and training cost. The objective of our project is to apply UFuRT (User, Functional, Representational, and Task Analyses) to the design and evaluation of the AHLTA EHR used by the military.
