Last week I was approached but one of the federal government standards bodies that is putting together some advice and standards around healthcare IT usability. They are seeking usability experts to join people like me on their advisory council. If you’re a healthcare IT usability specialist and would like to be nominated to join the experts panel please drop me a note or leave your name and contact information as a comment on my blog.

I would be willing to help, having recently published an article in the Radiology Management (a peer-reviewed journal), May/June 2009 issue, entitled “An effective approach for choosing an Electronic Health Record”.
You might also want to contact User Centric, which foucses on EHR usability as their main type of consultation (see http://www.usercentric.com/publications/2009/02/05/how-select-electronic-health-record-system-healthcare-professionals-can-use).

Sounds like an interesting panel. You should consider getting one of the people over at User Centric to join with you on EHR usability. Here’s a link to their site: http://www.usercentric.com/applications/ehr

My team has been involved in usability for multiple government contracts over the past 5 years. I would welcome the opportunity to be involved in this group to push for much needed improvement that has lacked buy-in in the past.
Thanks!

I can’t think of anything more integral to making HIT successful and I’d love to be a part of it.
I’ve spent the majority of the last six years spearheading usability studies and beta tests on software applications for B2B, B2C, and patient-based research projects.
