Since UCD processes focus on users' perspectives, they can be developed in a way that allows users to address problems independently, without relying on engineers. The research question was: Can a user-centered model be used as a tool to create a needs specification document and evaluate systems' capabilities in fulfilling those needs? 000002507 540__ $$fCC BY 000002507 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000002507 650__ $$aMedical Informatics$$021938 000002507 650__ $$aSoftware Design$$026160 000002507 650__ $$aSoftware Validation$$026161 000002507 650__ $$aUser-Centered Design$$013535 000002507 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000002507 692__ $$aDivision of Medical Informatics and Outcomes Research$$041423 000002507 7001_ $$aSaier, Kevin$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002507 7201_ $$aAsh, Joan$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000002507 8564_ $$950f8ae5b-1039-4cea-8948-997c85df6c3f$$s4102242$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2507/files/3248_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2a0da3c46b8ca0b92e71689a42c14388e$$31 000002507 905__ $$a/rest/prod/hx/11/xf/45/hx11xf459 000002507 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:2507$$pstudent-work 000002507 980__ $$aBiomedical Informatics
