The Progress Note Construction Set (PNCS) enables non-programmers to create user-friendly electronic health record forms quickly. Nurses found forms created with PNCS fast and easy to use, improving data entry efficiency.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Software Engineering

Background:

  • The Veterans Administration (VA) Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) is a comprehensive electronic health record system.
  • Clinicians desired more efficient data entry methods beyond traditional typing within CPRS.
  • Previous custom form development was resource-intensive, limiting scalability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the usability of forms created by subject matter experts using the Progress Note Construction Set (PNCS).
  • To assess the efficiency and ease of use of PNCS-generated forms for clinical documentation.

Main Methods:

  • A non-programmer subject matter expert utilized PNCS to develop a skin tear documentation form.
  • Ten VA nurses used the PNCS-generated form to document 7 standardized clinical scenarios.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Participants completed usability questionnaires after each scenario.

    • Main Results:

    • The skin tear form was created in 78 minutes by the subject matter expert.
    • Nurses found the PNCS-generated form facilitated data entry (p=0.0265) and was perceived as fast (p=0.0029) and easy to use (p=0.0166).
    • Average documentation time per note was 3.4 minutes.

    Conclusions:

    • The PNCS empowers non-programmers to rapidly develop usable, CPRS-integrated forms.
    • User feedback indicated PNCS-created forms are efficient and user-friendly.
    • PNCS offers a scalable solution for electronic health record form creation, overcoming programmer limitations.
