It addresses many broad topics, such as the instructional development process, page layout, writing style, and drawing attention to critical information. Then, it dives into specific topics, such as designing comprehensible graphics, incorporating information navigation cues, and writing concisely.The book will help anybody, from the novice to the experienced pro, tasked with designing instructions for a medical product. In turn, better instructions should help manufacturers produce demonstrably safe and effective products with clear benefits accruing to the healthcare system and to patients.
