Background:
Usability is essential for the acceptance and success of vitiligo patient registry system. Poor usability could decrease system efficiency and effectiveness, and have a negative impact on using the system and providing services. This study aims to evaluate the usability of vitiligo patient registry system.
Methods:
This pilot study was conducted in 2021. In total, 17 users who were working in the vitiligo ward participated in the study. System usability scale (SUS) was used to evaluate the usability of vitiligo patient registry system.
Results:
In the usability evaluation stage, the mean score of the system usability scale was obtained as 77.79.
Conclusion:
Developing vitiligo patient registry system with high usability and making decisions based on the registered data could provide better understanding of this disease and facilitate research in this field. Application of this system and its acceptance by users could decrease costs and increase effectiveness and quality of services.
