The article delves into the unique challenges faced by both humans and computers in designing information systems and interfaces for healthcare. There are a myriad of issues evident, which most notably are in reasoning, decision-making process, and the sub-par design processes and features that fails to address the cognitive needs of users of these systems. The article emphasizes a key aspect of cognitive usability engineering and provides “fixes” and solutions to address these deficiencies.

==References==
The  design of any healthcare interface  should not be viewed as any  design  that goes into any application; designing healthcare interfaces involves system design  and development methodologies  and  thorough testing of such  interfaces  that are backed by  scientific principles but also appeals to an end users learning and  cognitive capabilities.

==Comments==
+
The role cognition and cognitive science plays in user interfaces and information system for health care is important. While the changing nature of technology, it is necessary that healthcare interfaces are designed with features that encourage end-users to provide evaluation and feedback; and as such enables ease of navigating, understanding and sharing healthcare knowledge within and across systems and multiple healthcare domains.
