title: Evaluating the usability of a mobile clinical computing device.
abstract: Observational ethnography of qualitative impressions and quantitative measurement of user reactions were employed in a sample of experienced nurses to measure the usability of the Motion C5 Mobile Clinical Assistant (C5) in a simulated clinical environment. Semi-structured interviews, surveys, and quantitative analysis of observations suggest a positive level of usability and satisfaction with the C5.
