Usability factors in the organization and display of disparate information sources in the operative environment.
The integration and presentation of information from a number of disparate sources in the operative environment raises a number of usability and human factors challenges. Through a collaborative effort, a display combining persistent and dynamically switching panes provides a rich source of information to help orient team members, provide indications of case progress, and organize information into stage-based tabbed panes. This provides maximal flexibility within visibility and usability constraints.
