Subject: Hubris: Satisfaction and the dated interface - a problem?
The Future Interfaces of Legacy Systems
--------------------------------------------------
Both Exeter and EMIS have windows front-ends to their legacy systems,
and quite reasonably these look very similar to the old interface,
random changes in shortcut commands can irritate users considerably and
GPs have never been keen on falling into line with the rest of the
world. EMIS' forthcoming NT version which is assumed to migrate away
from MUMPS toward SQL is also forecast to show the same interface.
Wot about Meditel System 6000 and VAMP Vision? Both Windows interfaces! Any comments from users of either of those about the useability of the new interface compared with Meditel System 5 and VAMP Medical?
