What does the doctor really want? • Make me faster! • Make me smarter! • Show me the data!
Make me faster! • Anticipate next steps. Primary “action” categories: • Review/update content (results, notes, CCR content) • Enter orders for meds/tests/nursing/consults • Create notes • Communicate with others • Workflow varies: enable any action in ANY context • System groupers and personal favorites for each • Fast application response!
Make me smarter! • Interrupt real mistakes: HighS:N; i.e., don’t interrupt unless I’m doing something dumb; then, please do! • Eliminate dangerous options up front! (Dynamic order catalogs, sentences, and sets) • Leverage workflow: Med Red at admission and discharge with stepwise integration • Offer unobtrusive assistance with context sensitive reference algorithms, and data-sets (med info., scoring systems, “what’s new”)
The Case of the ICU Report • Detailed reports requested. But… • Who is an ICU patient? • When is the patient an ICU patient? • Why is the patient in the ICU? • Where are the key data and events? • Reports now available after agreement on definitions.
EHR’s: What do we have now? • Notes reproducing paper chart sections • CPOE drives downstream processes with rudimentary and primarily interruptive decision support • The “center’s” chart
EHR’s: What’s missing? • It’s the patient’s chart, Doc! • Anticipatory support and guidance: • Truly finite actions list and content categories • All related content for “cockpit view” • Likely next steps when viewing results, ordering, etc. • Not via interruptions; “convenience panels” • Problem centered structure • Up to the minute handoffs • Actions taken in problem context generating notes
