Abstract
The design of user interfaces for skilled workers in professional work
settings should be based on style guides that certify efficiency. Most of
today's style guides and design guidelines overemphasise general aspects
or aspects relevant to novices. To increase efficiency both of the design
process and of the resulting interface, more domain specific interface
elements should be used. This paper explains the basic ideas of such domain
specific style guides and gives some examples from the health care domain.
