Abstract

 QWERTY type keyboard and mouse are used as information input interface in most of nursing information system. However, operation of the keyboard is not easy for beginner of computer environment like a nurse. Appearance of human error in patient environment is considered, since characteristics of the user and specification of the machine are not matched.
