Critique the design of the dialog box below (DTUI6 Fig. 8.19) in the text. This dialog box is used to alert clinicians who try to prescribe the drug Warfarin, because it increases the risk of bleeding in patients already on Aspirin.



What will be an ideal response?


Determine which of several possible actions are proposed
Overriding the alert is possible but requires confirmation by clicking a check box
Note the red-highlighted letters in the “Override” button, with “confirm override” (extra) confirmation step
Because of the severity of the alert, this is a modal dialog box and it requires immediate action, i.e. accept (keep Aspirin or Warfarin), override, or cancel transaction
Color and font choices (and size) plus screen’s visual layout seem reasonable and uncluttered
Will all users know how to navigate to the hyperlinked (underlined) information, e.g. “(I) guidelines”?
What does “signal word” mean?
What does “INR” mean?
There may be other suggestions
