Some examples of reporting the results of various usability studies.

3. Attaining certification for Meaningful Use Phase 2 required a demonstration of a user centered design process. The US governing body decided to use formal, summative (quantitative) usability studies as this demonstration, requiring studies of 7 electronic health record functions that can impact  patient safety, reported in NIST common industry format. This is the final report for electronic prescribing.
