Safety-enhanced design (MU3))

Overview

Working with Columbia HIT.

Criteria that are testing

• a1: Computerized provider order entry (CPOE) – medications (task 2)
• a2: CPOE – laboratory (task 4)
• a5: Demographics (task 1)
• a9: Clinical decision support (task 1)
• a14: Implantable device list (task 3)

Usability demos

• There are 3 duplicate demos that contain 1 patient (Ed Smith with one encounter) with one lab option (PSA) and with ICD10 code set installed and one provider (the admin user with name of Frank Johnson). Demos can be reset after the test is complete. Demos also reset daily at around 1:00 am pacific time. When demos reset, they are rebuilt on top of most recent codebase. Demos use private credentials (ie. public will not be able to access them).

• Usability Demo A
• Usability Demo B
• Usability Demo C

Usability testing scenario

• Ed Smith is a patient in your clinic. In this scenario, the user will modify this patient's demographics, enter in a medication order for this patient, add a implantable device for this patient, and order a lab for this patient.
