Abstract:
A usability study is described that compares a web-based capecitabine-prescribing and dispensing application to traditional manual methods. The behaviours of two small groups, oncologists and pharmacists, were recorded and analyzed using a case study of patient with metastatic colon cancer. The study indicated for the oncologists that workflow and resource utilization decreased due to the application, however, for the pharmacists the results were less positive. This type of case study simulation can be used to determine the impact of software applications on their users.
