This study introduces The Surgical Illustrator, a software enabling clinicians to add hand-drawn images to electronic medical records (EMRs). This innovation aims to enhance medical education and patient care documentation within digital health systems.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Clinical Documentation
  • Surgical Illustration

Background:

  • Traditional medical records serve as crucial educational tools for healthcare professionals, detailing patient care, clinical disease, diagnostics, and treatments.
  • Current electronic medical records (EMRs) often lack the ability to incorporate visual information typically found in hand-drawn notes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present initial findings and a framework for developing and evaluating The Surgical Illustrator software.
  • To enable clinicians to integrate traditionally hand-drawn information into EMRs.

Main Methods:

  • Development and evaluation of a novel software program, The Surgical Illustrator.
  • Framework for assessing the software's utility in enhancing EMR content.
