  • Abstract
    We present an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system for recording chart notes during patient encounters, enhanced by the use of various feedback mechanisms like progress bars and alerts. The extensive use of various feedback mechanisms, which are not present in existing EHRs, leads to improved quality of chart notes. Our experiments show that alerts in the EHR can help enhance the quality of chart notes.
