Abstract
A human factors evaluation of the usability, reliability including staff perception of the Accessible Information Standards (AIS) patient alerts within an acute NHS Trust electronic medical records program (EPMR). Aim of the investigation was to improve patient safety with the creation of a set of patient alert system principles to support future design of patient alerts systems within EPMRs.
