Abstract

This paper presents a design of an online nurse assessment system for use across a southern Brazil hospital complex. A prototype was built and tested, using a user centered interface design process. Design experts and nurses from an American hospital evaluated the prototype through heuristic and scenario analysis. The results show some consistency and clarity problems within the prototype, but overall acceptance of it. The prototype can be used in the future as a foundation for further development of electronic nursing assessment systems.
