The document discusses principles and processes for user interface design for health information systems. It covers principles for layout, navigation design using menus and messages, input design using different input types and validation, and output design. The goal is to design interfaces that are usable, learnable, and support users' tasks through application of these principles and following a process of requirements analysis, prototyping, and evaluation.

10. Interface Standards Design
• Interface metaphor – the real world concept
• Interface template – general appearance of all
screens, forms, and reports
• Interface objects – building blocks of the system
• Interface actions – most common actions
• Interface icons – represent objects, actions and
their statuses

12. Interface Evaluation
• Heuristic evaluation – based on design
principles
• Walk-through evaluation – meeting with the
users
• Interactive evaluation – users try the interface
• Formal usability testing – almost scientific

13. Usability
Quality of a user’s experience when interacting
with a product or system
• Ease of learning/learnability
• Efficiency of use
• Supports cognitive task
• Memorability
• Error frequency & severity
• Aesthetics
• Subjective satisfaction
Factors affecting the user’s experience:

14. Usability Principles
Visibility of system
status
Match between
system & read
world
User control &
freedom
Consistency &
standards
Help user
recognize,
diagnose and
recover from errors
Minimize memory
load
(recognition over recall)
Flexibility &
efficiency
Motivation &
engagement
