Designing Simple Instructions for Medical Products

Designing Simple Instructions for Medical Products motivates and guides readers to create excellent instructions for medical products. The book is just what the doctor ordered to craft instructions that enhance usability and safety for products used in hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and at home. For doctors, nurses, therapists, technicians, and laypeople, clear and simple instructions can be lifesavers, figuratively and literally. When medical product developers disregard instructions and underinvest in their development, the result is user confusion, dissatisfaction, and an increased potential for use errors. In contrast, well-designed instructions, implementing some or all tips in this book, can (1) help ensure a product's safe and effective use and (2) drive greater commercial success by satisfying users, strengthening brand identity, and simplifying product use. This book provides actionable principles and advice in a readable, artful, and entertaining manner. Inside, you'll find practical guidance on every stage of the instructional development process, including page layout, information hierarchy, writing style, illustration style, and production values. SPECIAL BOOK FEATURES INCLUDE: An approachable, down-to-earth explanation of how to translate user needs and preferences into instruction design requirements. Visual explanations of key design principles to aid understanding and implementation. Detailed guidance on creating instructions that reduce the use-related risks of operating a specific medical product. Sample, exemplary instructions for medical devices, pharmaceutical combination products, and in vitro diagnostic devices. Advice on critical yet often overlooked details, such as paper thickness, instruction sheet folding, font size selection, and much more. The book is essential reading for technical writers, communications designers, human factors specialists, industrial designers, graphic designers, and clinical specialists involved in medical product development.
