Several studies have identified usability problems with CPOE. We performed a heuristic evaluation of a CPOE technology implemented in an academic hospital. User interface design features of this CPOE technology were evaluated against a variety of widely accepted usability heuristics and user interface design guidelines. The severity of the problems and redesign priority for each problem were also evaluated. In addition, we shared and discussed our redesign recommendations with the CPOE…

Usability evaluation of order sets in a computerised provider order entry system
TLDR
A heuristic evaluation of a CPOE order set system was conducted to uncover existing usability issues prior to implementation and a user centred design prototype was created to demonstrate changes that could improve usability.
Evaluating the Efficiency, Usability and Safety of Computerized Order Sets in Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre's Computerized Provider Order Entry System
TLDR
This thesis explores the evaluation of the Sunnybrook CPOE order set system with a heuristic evaluation, the development of a more user friendly CPOe order set interface (Test Design), and a usability study comparing three order set formats (Sunnybrook C POE, Test Design, and paper order sets).
A pilot study on usability analysis of emergency department information system by nurses.
TLDR
This study investigated the usability gaps in the Emergency Department Information System (EDIS) as ten nurses differentiated by two experience levels, namely six expert nurses and four novice nurses, completed two lists of nine scenario-based tasks.

Usability Testing
TLDR
Usability testing is a means for measuring how well people can use some human-made object for its intended purpose, i.e. the usability of the object.
