User testing

Briefing

These are the rough briefings we provided to our users to set the scope of the testing sessions and to describe the two user roles we tested. None of our users had experience in either of our two roles, so our briefings and common knowledge about the emergency medical environment were the only background that our users were exposed to.

User role 1: Doctor

You are a doctor at Massachusetts General Hospital, and you are making your rounds in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). You move from patient to patient, analyzing their conditions, making appropriate diagnoses, and, when needed, prescribing appropriate medication based on the patients' status and treatment.

User role 2: Nurse

You are a nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital, and you too are making your rounds in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Like the doctors, you move from patient to patient. As a nurse, your focus is on checking vitals, monitoring patient condition, and administering prescribed medication and treatments.

Scenario tasks

User role 1: Doctor

  • Select patient Mohammed
  • You want to prescribe 100mg Aspirin every hour for the next four hours
  • You need to make sure that the patient is not already taking aspirin
  • You need to remove any other medications that the patient is taking
  • You need to ensure that the patient is not allergic to aspirin
  • You need to verify that the task was accomplished

User role 2: Nurse

  • You want to check in on patient Mohammed and determine if he has any upcoming medications
  • You need to administer the medication to the patient
  • You need to indicate that the medication was administered
  • You need to verify that the task was accomplished

Observations

We recorded detailed notes about each of our four users (who took on eight roles)---the actions they took, difficulties they encountered, and comments they made. Here, we've summarized our low-level notes and added higher-level analysis on what came out of the testing.

Prototype documentation

Our prototypes were a combination of printed and hand-drawn interface components. We had three main "screen" images which were designed digitally and printed, onto which we placed a variety of components, ranging from text fields that the user could write in to rows of data manually generated as the user tested the interface.

Prototype & testing photos

Our prototype represented three screens of our interface: the overview page, the prescribe page, and the administer page. We used card stock and paper to build the mock-ups, and we added interactive elements on top of the printed base layers.

Iterations

Our prototypes underwent two rounds of iteration throughout the testing period. The first
