User Personas for a "Better Design" of Nation-Wide EHRs Based on Thorough Expert Evaluation and Field Analysis: Modeling Users as Individuals Plus Family Members for an Enhanced Mapping of Healthcare Situations
Stud Health Technol Inform. 2024 Apr 26;313:87-92. doi: 10.3233/SHTI240017.ABSTRACTElectronic Health Records (EHRs) are pivotal in prevention, therapy, and care. Their design necessitates the representation of users, activities, context, and technology. Among various participative and ethnographic design methods, user personas are an effective tool for encapsulating users in the design process. Goals and methods: This research focused on the creation of user personas for the design of a nation-wide EHR, specifically the German "elektronische Patientenakte" (ePA). We employed qualitative methods, such as field analysis and ...

Generating Actionable Insights from Patient Medical Records and Structured Clinical Knowledge
We present an approach to extract information from medical free text documentation by using structured clinical knowledge to guide information extraction into a structured and encoded format, overcoming the known challenges for natural language processing algorithms. Preliminary results have been encouraging, as one of our methods managed to extract 100% of all data-points with 85% accuracy in details. These advancements show the potential of our approach to effectively use unstructured clinical data to elevate the quality of patient care and reduce the workload of medical personnel.PMID:38682508 | DOI:10.3233/SHTI240015 (...
