The rating health system is a web-based health system, whose main goal is to develop a website which facilitates access to approved doctors. It allows the public to rate their doctors in order to help others to source a suitable practitioner who best meets their needs, based on service user experiences of that doctor. Its search functionality allows doctors to be sourced based on a number of criteria: geographical location through the global positioning system (GPS); medical specialty; and name, so as to acquire further background information on the doctor. The system also enables the user to identify what type of illness they may be experiencing, using a symptom checker. This paper evaluates the rating health system by performing usability testing to ensure that all the task functions available on the system are working correctly and as specified.
