dc.description.abstract This work describes the development of a system to support physicians’ clinical tasks by means of personal computers and Tablet PCs. The system facilitates the physicians review of patients’ vital information such as the patient’s problem list, laboratories results and diagnostic studies, vital signs, balance of fluids, nurse notes, progress notes, administration of medications, and medical orders. The system also provides interfaces for physicians to deal with clinical documentation such as problem lists, progress notes, health history, and physical exam. In addition, the system provides interfaces for physicians to generate medical orders such as: medications, laboratories, consultations, diets, restrictions, therapies and transfers. The system was subjected to a usability heuristic evaluation, which served to identify potential usability errors and to carry out the respective adjustments of the system. en_US
dc.description.abstract Este trabajo describe el desarrollo de un sistema para apoyar tareas clínicas de médicos mediante PCs y TabletPCs. El sistema facilita a los/las médicos la evaluación de información vital de pacientes como la lista de problemas de pacientes, resultados de laboratorio y estudios diagnósticos, signos vitales, balance de fluidos, notas de enfermería, notas de progreso, administración de medicamentos y órdenes médicas. El sistema también provee interfaz para facilitar la documentación clínica de problemas de salud de pacientes, notas de progreso, historial médico y examen físico. Además facilita la generación de órdenes médicas tales como medicamentos, laboratorios, estudios diagnósticos, consultas, dietas, restricciones, terapias y transferencias. El sistema fue objeto de una evaluación heurística de usabilidad la cual sirvió para identificar potenciales errores de usabilidad y realizar los respectivos ajustes al sistema. en_US
