Article Synopsis
- Medical errors in blood product ordering, especially for pediatric patients, prompted a study to redesign the ordering process to minimize risks identified through failure modes and effects analysis.
- The study aimed to compare three designs: the original design, a revised version by an expert committee (DEC), and a user-centered design (UCD) focusing on functionality and usability.
- Results showed that UCD significantly reduced ordering errors (from 36% to 66% error-free completion), highlighting the importance of user input in improving medical processes, while the time taken to complete tasks remained unchanged.
