C8 Health, a platform for implementation of best practices: a survey-based usability study
ABSTRACT
Background:
Mobile health (mHealth) applications are increasingly integrated into clinical workflows to support decision-making and adherence to best practices. Usability is a critical determinant of adoption, engagement, and long-term use.
Objective:
This study aimed to evaluate the usability of the C8-Health platform deployed in the Department of Anesthesiology at MetroHealth in 2024.
Methods:
A quality improvement initiative was conducted using the Modified Application Usability Questionnaire (MAUQ). A total of 142 anesthesiology clinicians participated by completing the survey. Data were analyzed according to the SQUIRE guidelines for quality reporting, with mean scores calculated for core usability domains.
Results:
The overall MAUQ scores indicated high usability, with mean scores greater than 5.5 across core items (Mean MAUQ score: 5.73 ± 0.81). These findings suggest strong user satisfaction and positive engagement with the C8-Health platform among anesthesiology clinicians.
Conclusions:
The C8-Health platform demonstrated high usability in an anesthesiology setting. These results support its integration as a clinical decision support tool to enhance workflow efficiency and adherence to best practices.
