| Abstract | This paper will describe how simulations of clinical activity (involving human subjects carrying out clinical tasks) and mathematical computer-based simulations can be linked to forecast the impact of interface design features upon medical errors in healthcare information technology. The paper describes our approach in two phases. In Phase 1 a clinical simulation was conducted involving 10 physicians who were asked to use a hand-held prescription writing application to enter and record medications administered during a simulated clinical interaction. In this phase of the study data arising from the clinical simulation was collected and then analyzed using qualitative approaches to assess the relationship between aspects of interface design (i.e. usability problems) and medication error prescribing rates. In Phase 2, the base rates for error associated with specific types of usability problems (from Phase 1) formed the input into a computer-based mathematical simulation. Using this approach, comparative graphs of total mistakes and slips from Phase 1 were forecasted over time. The work described in this paper is unique in health care as it directly connects two distinct forms of simulations: (1) clinical simulations of user behavior and (2) mathematical simulation to forecast error rates over time. This approach links clinical simulations with computer simulations and demonstrates the impact of aspects of interface design upon medical error. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
