Hospital Intranets

Congratulations to Mayo Clinic! Their hospital intranet has made Jakob Nielsen?s 10 Best Intranet?s of 2003. They apparently have a bed tracker of available beds on the hospital intranet, wonder how they did that....

A good item of note is the mention of usability design standards. I think consistency with the UI is exceptionally important. Also usability has to be determined by the actual users of the system, not the self ordained gurus. The best setup is to have templates for the CMS that match the usability standard.
