A Methodology for Validating Safety Heuristics Using Clinical Simulations: Identifying and Preventing Possible Technology-Induced Errors Related to Using Health Information Systems

Table 2

Examples developed safety heuristics organized by usability theme.

Usability theme	Example of developed heuristic
Content	“System clearly displays the date and time the medication was updated” [23]
Workflow	“System accommodates clinician physical activities” [23]
Functional	“System allows for linkages between medication ordering, administration, and discontinuation procedures” [23]
Safeguards	“System checks for duplicated medications” [23]
