The American College of Physicians (ACP), the American Medical Association (AMA), and the Electronic Health Record Association (EHRA) are co-sponsoring the Electronic Health Record (EHR) Usability Workshop in Chicago on December 8, 2015.
This free, day-long event will bring together clinicians and EHR developers, providing the opportunity to better understand and practice successful techniques for collaboration, address priority issues associated with EHR usability, and discuss potential solutions. Planned topics include user-centered design (UCD), best practices for implementation that can enhance users’ experiences with EHRs, and a “design-a-whirl” during which clinicians will participate in short exercises that can make a difference in implementation and customization decisions.
