forms - Single checkbox or yes/no radio button



For the form items below, which interface control is the best option? A single checkbox or yes/no radio button?


Read EWLS advice letter?
Checked images / report on PACS / CRIS?
Pacemaker?
Unable to localise stone

Answer



It would be helpful to get more context around the question and what the user is trying to accomplish. Checkboxes can work and can probably be faster for the user to fill out the form since there will be fewer options to visually inspect. If you are going to go with checkboxes you might need to add clarifying text. e.g. What does "pacemaker" mean? Does it mean a patient has a pacemaker/pacemaker was checked? Just so that when the user checks the options they know what it actually means. Keeping keywords at the beginning of the checkbox would also be good e.g.



  • EWLS advice letter read

  • Image checked


  • PACS reported

  • CRIS reported

  • Pacemaker present

  • Stones not localised
