paper_title: International Standards for HCI and Usability

paper_content:

There has been a significant increase in interest and activity in user interface standards over the last decade, many standards organizations have become heavily involved where, previously, there was only minor user interface activity. User interface professionals need to keep abreast of this activity, for it may have an important impact. When these standards and guidelines are in place, customers may demand that products conform. Many information technology customers are demanding easeof-use and interoperability of systems for users, and will see standards conformance as a route to this goal. Governments may require conformance, ostensibly for health and safety reasons. In some cases, programmer development tools may be designed to implement standards. And finally, standards present, in theory, the opportunity to promulgate good user interface design to a wide community of system developers.

paper_title: Understanding and facilitating the browsing of electronic text

paper_content:

Browsing tends to be used in two distinctive ways, alternatively associated with the goal of the activity and with the method by which the goal is achieved. In this study, the definition of browsing combines aspects of both concepts to define browsing as an activity in which one gathers information while scanning an information space without an explicit purpose. The objective of this research was to examine how browsers interact with their browsing environment while manipulating two types of interface tools constructed from the content.Forty-seven adults (24 males) performed the two types of tasks (one with no purpose and the second, a control, purposeful) in four sessions over a period of four weeks. Participants scanned and/or searched the textual content of current issue plus three months of back issues of the Halifax Chronicle Herald/Mail Star using a system designed specifically for this research. At any one time only one of each type of tool was available.Those with no assigned goal examined significantly more articles and explored more menu options. They made quick decisions about which articles to examine, spending twice as much time reading the content. They tended not to explore the newspaper to a great extent, examining only 24% of the articles in a single issue. About three-quarters of what they examined was new information on topics that they had not known about before being exposed to the paper. The type of menu had no impact on performance, but differences were discovered between the two items-to-browse tools. Those with no goal selected more articles from the Suggestions and found more interesting articles when the Suggestions were available.

paper_title: Wireless Communications: A New Frontier in Technology

paper_content:

Within the last 5 to 10 years, health care has seen a plethora of "breakthrough" technologies--client/server computing, multitasking, multi-user operating systems, E-mail, CD-ROM data storage, the Internet, etc. Now, a newer technology is coming of age. This point-of-care technology uses radio-based systems to transmit signals through the air without physical connections.

paper_title: Case management and technology: a necessary fit for the future.

paper_content:

We now reside in a data-driven health care environment and methods for gathering, presenting, and evaluating relevant data about health care systems are paramount. This article expands on the importance of evaluating the outcomes of case management and how collecting relevant clinical and cost data can provide an infrastructure on which to base future decisions. Data-based decision making in case management is crucial for ensuring quality of care and the appropriate management of patient outcomes, and it underpins the viability of this delivery model of care.

paper_title: Patients will be reminded of appointments by text messages.

paper_content:

Mobile phone text messages will be sent to patients in England to remind them of upcoming appointments with their doctor in a trial to begin next month. Organisers of the scheme hope to reduce the burden of missed appointments, which cost the NHS an estimated £400m ($660m; ‡560m) a year. ::: ::: ![][1] ::: ::: Rather than paying for the messages themselves, NHS trusts are hoping for sponsorship from companies that will place advertisements in the message after … ::: ::: [1]: /embed/graphic-1.gif
