In this paper, we describe recommendations to improve the usability of a software package used to view digitized images of tissues by pathologists. Several recommendations were immediately implemented, and others are planned for future releases. The changes are anticipated to be more compatible with user expectations from interacting with similar elements in other packages, and thus easier to learn and use.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mount-Campbell AF, Hosseinzadeh D, Gurcan M, Patterson ES Proc Int Symp Hum Factors Ergon Healthc 2017 Jun;6(1):23-27 PMID: 30073176 Abstract Human factors engineering is an underutilized approach in the design, evaluation, and implementation of health information technology.
