Data elements selected as core Emergency psychiatry data elements were those which achieved a 4 or 5 score from 75% of the specialist. Results: From a total of 95 usability problems identified, three evaluators identified 82 problems (86.3%), 2 evaluators identified 6 problems (6.3%) and one evaluator identified 7 problems (7.3%). According to severity, problems were 23 minor, 19 severe, 16 cosmetic and 37 technical problems. Rate of problems in different areas were: visibility of system status 13.6%, match between system and the real world 12.6%, user control and freedom 14.7%, consistency and standards 11.5%, error prevention 6.3%, recognition rather than recall 12.6%, flexibility and efficiency of use 5.2 %, aesthetic and minimalist design 6.3%, help users recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors 7.3% and help and documentation 6.3%. Conclusion: Given the importance of psychiatric disorder and lack of a national system for gathering psychiatric information, performing a similar study about psychiatric data element is very important.
