TO DETERMINE THE EFFICACY OF HEADINGS IN THE REPRESENTATION OF CLINICAL DATA

摘要

During the autumn of 2000, 80 clinicians took part in a study to test a set of Clinical Headings developed to facilitate clinical communication. Real-world patient scenarios were used to develop a simulator to test current and re-structured clinical documentation. The relationship between perceived use and actual results was explored. The project raised awareness of the important issues from the clinical perspective on the introduction of Headings in electronic clinical notekeeping.
