Doctors love Silverlight!
I exaggerate a little :) but here's a quote from an MD who just reviewed some of the 1.3 version of the MSCUI infused Patient Journey Demonstrator (available on CodePlex):
"I love it!
I am a primary care MD (Internal medicine and pediatrics) and this think is full of brillant visualization of data I would love to have on my real patients.
Don't worry too much about the busy UI. I like it. Doctors are smart people who are used to having a lot of information thrown at them at once. I need a largely "look only" ui to be fast enough to get through the day. I DON't want to go through 3 or four pages of inductive UI, it will just slow me down. (This is a big problem with my hospital's EHR.)
...
Anyway the fact that you got me to write so much about a demo app probably tells you how much I like it. and how much I wish it could be real. Bravo! Most "medical demo apps" are almost comical in their lack of understanding of how medicine is practiced. This demo shows real insight. I would prefer it to the clinical information system I currently use."
Our friend Andrew Kirby, who delivered a session on MS CUI at our Health and Life Sciences DevCon, can be seen in a video on the HealthBlog post that also gives us more details and pointers to this good looking work. As noted in the HealthBlog, there are 5 key elements of this release:
I like how they've done the Delivery Roadmap - using Silverlight to give folks visibility into their delivery cycle - a new best practice for all!
Really nice work all around. What are your thoughts? Drop us a line.
