Preliminary instrumentation for the efficient use of Web-based electronic health records

NIST has devised preliminary elements (technical "hooks") of a convenient logging method for Web-based electronic health record (EHR) dialogues. These can identify fields, record times spent at each (by whomever), and log a sequence of visits. The next step will be to refine this promising start, to begin building upon it a more polished and user-friendly system. We present our results to gain impressions from users of the worth of simple, open tools for tuning and improving e-record flows and their corresponding with practice workflows.
