Affected user(s):
The affected users are primarily clinicians — such as doctors and nurses — who write clinical notes using the application.
This usability issue is encountered broadly, especially by those who frequently use the "Choose from list" feature when entering notes.
Task affected:
The issue occurs during the clinical note-writing workflow in MYLE, specifically when selecting prewritten text options using the "Choose from list" functionality.
This happens in the note editor, where users type and insert standard phrases.
Impact:
This is a common, repetitive task that affects daily workflows.
It would reduce unnecessary mouse movements and streamline the process, leading to improved speed and comfort in note-writing.
The current layout creates a "triangle" navigation pattern (start writing on the left, click on the right, choose from center, close, return to left), which is inefficient and tiring over time.
Current state:
Users currently access the clickable text ("Choose from list") from a button on the right-hand side of the text box.
This interrupts the left-to-right writing flow and adds extra hand/mouse movement for each interaction
