title: Designing interfaces for medical information management systems.
abstract: Poor interface design has adversely affected the integration of technology into medical environments. This paper discusses the importance of good interface design in medical information management systems. We will illustrate the advantages of approaching interface design in a user-centered manner, by describing the interface design process of the Curriculum Database for the Faculty of Medicine, Monash University. We believe that a consultative design process can make the difference between software success and failure.
