Summary of design implications
Recommendation | Guidance |
---|---|
Facilitate berry-picking strategy | Provide multiple information berries in single content view. E.g. a bulleted synopsis of alternative treatments, evidence (including demographic data), indications, cost, other testing logistics |
Facilitate berry-picking strategy | Guide user through information gathering process. E.g. provide basic pharmacogenomics information, such as the strength of clinical evidence, prior to providing logistical details |
Provide clarity of sought after details | Unmask details which are hard to find and sought after. E.g. Clarify demographic prevalence data, and provide clear indications of alternative therapy that obviates the need for pharmacogenomic testing |
Provide information on logistics | List laboratories offering test(s), provide test availability, highlight time to result, indicate insurance coverage and cost of test(s), provide a means to access an expert (either colleague who frequently uses the test or a pharmacogenomics expert) |
Provide navigation support | Meaningful content headings and hyperlink labels. |
Reduce navigation effort and short-term memory overload | Provide context specific information juxtaposed to relevant patient data |
