title: Scenario-based participatory design of a collaborative clinical trial protocol authoring system.
abstract: We present our experience of using prototype scenarios to actively involve users in the design of a collaborative clinical trial protocol authoring system. This method enables us to do usability testing and elicit prompt user feedback at the early phase of de-sign. We conclude that it is an effective approach to the design of complex medical information systems.
