This is an article review of the article entitled Structural approach to design user interface by Lee, et al 2010 [1]

Introduction

This paper is actually not aimed at clinical applications at all, but at design of e-business web-based enterprise information portals. The same concepts, however, should be able to be applied to design of EMR interface. The authors scientficially analyze how requirements for user interface are developed.

Methods

  • Multi-layer interface design
  • Building Hierarchical structure
  • Analyzing the interaction of components

3 phases: Requirement analysis, component design and component interaction analysis. User requirements were analyzed using Quality Function Deployment method (QFD). The hierarchical structure of the components was evaluated using Interpretive Structural Model, and the relationships or interactions among components was analyzed using Matrix Cross-referenced Multiplication Applied to a Classification model (MICMAC).

Results

The authors present a case study using an actual application design, specifically a web mail system. They present valuable insights into the systematic way design of a user interface should be approached by integrating user demand.

Conclusion

The authors support this three phased approach for designing user interfaces: Confirm design requirements and their corresponding components, construct a clear model of the heirarchical structure of the components, determine the relative dependence or interaction between the components.

Comments

The same approach could successfully be applied to designing elements of an EMR.
