Abstract

Successful IT isn't just about the computer: it's about integrating the Programs, the People, the Protocols, the Paper - and in medicine, the Patients and the Practitioners. (Hence 'P' soup.)

So what makes a program really user-friendly?

We will be exploring the psychology behind the usage of words, screen layout, images and instructions, all of which help or hinder users’ interaction with computer systems.
