Dave was a sexual health / HIV consultant but is now doing a design oPhD. He asks: how can we design EHR interfaces that support how clinicians actually THINK?
I recently submitted my PhD to the RCA, which explores data visualisation in Electronic Health Records (EHR). It offers a tangible, participatory contribution to EHR interface design from a clinician community. Some 2 minute insights are here: https://t.co/Qx0vuu3Jdr
@harrym_vids@British_Airways They only told my 88 year old mum that her 3pm flight was cancelled when she turned up at check in, despite us having been on ‘Manage my booking’ 10 minutes beforehand. She had to get home and then back the following day for a 7am flight.
@MushtaqBilalPhD It brings to mind the late Sir Ken Robinson and how he said schools ask the wrong question of children: “How clever are they?” rather than “How are they clever?”
@hshore21 @DHCNIO@DHRewired@BAPM_Official Happy to share ideas with you - we struggled marrying functionality with usability (as everyone does), so it is our best effort but only just that. Collab would be so useful...
@hshore21 @DHCNIO@DHRewired@BAPM_Official Hi Hannah - we are close to completing a joint EHR specification document for BASHH and FSRH associations. It has a detailed clinical usability perspective because we want to bridge the gap between what we need and what EHR providers understand we need in the real clinical world.
@DHCNIO@DHRewired 3. We were lucky enough to be able to extract data from the old EHR in its entirety, and migrate it in its entirety. This was the single best outcome of the EPR switch - it made the data sing, even though it was up to 10 years old.
@DHCNIO@DHRewired 2. We made the mistake of using a 3rd party lab interop provider rather the EHR's in-house one. I ended up mediating between EHR, interop and lab - it was like herding cats for 6 months. If you have to use 3rd party interop, set out responsibilities and resources from Day ONE.
