Usability refers to how easy or difficult some object or device is to use. This is a big problem for computer software because of complexity and neglect of the issue. Check out the book Design of Everyday Things by Donald Norman for a general discussion on usability and its importance. In the medical world usability is critically important to avoid mistakes being made that could affect a patient’s health.
