User-centered Design of Applications Embedded in Electronic Health Records: Case Study of a Visualization Application for Heart Failure
Abstract
In this paper, we discuss the user-centered design (UCD) strategies we employed to design an electronic health record (EHR)-integrated application for documentation and tracking of guideline-directed medical therapy for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. We designed this clinician-facing application by engaging heart failure clinicians, patients and family members, and technology experts. We report on these strategies that, while not uncommon for patient-facing technologies, are less often seen for the design and evaluation of clinician-facing EHR applications. We also provide suggestions for practitioners seeking to build EHR applications and propose avenues for future research.
