The field representatives in these groups included physicians, UR nurses, MAS ADPACs, MCCR coordinators, and billing clerks. An additional group of users was assembled prior to alpha testing to conduct full usability and functional testing of the software. The input from each of the individuals on these groups was invaluable to the software developers.
