Preferred Workflows for Syndromic Surveillance Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our analysis follows a user-centered design (UCD) approach, which prioritizes the users’ needs and work practices in the system design process [3]. We collected data through standard UCD techniques [1,3]: epidemiologist consultations and interviews, observation of the epidemiologists as they interacted with the systems, and iterative user interface prototyping sessions. For the work presented here, we focused on uncovering the workflows the epidemiologists wished to follow in examining and analyzing SS data, and on determining the extent to which their current SS systems supported these preferred workflows.
