Designing a ‘Patient Values Tab’ for the Electronic Health Record (EHR): An Investigation of the Needs and Perspectives of Key Stakeholders at a Dedicated Cancer Center (FR461B)

Patient-centered care respects a patient's personal values, including what means most in life and defines living well for that patient. The EHR provides access to myriad medical details, but rarely reveals a patient's personal values, which provide a touchstone for shared decision-making throughout illness. Our dedicated cancer center is creating a new EHR “Patient Values Tab,” which will serve as a centralized home for documentation related to patient values, goals and preferences.
