During the conception and the deployment of such a system, ergonomic issues were highlighted and training of stakeholders as well [3]. Daily exchanges with users have already permitted to enhance the system. An standardized and quantified evaluation among the users had to be done after 18 months of functioning. The objectives of this work were to evaluate the knowledge, the attitude and the practice of the stakeholders of the system.
