Area of Science:

Health Informatics
Software Engineering
Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

Electronic health records (EHRs) are crucial for managing patient data.
Tracking student performance requires specialized data management tools.
The iCare v.1.0 application was developed to address these needs.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and test the iCare v.1.0 EHR application.
To evaluate the usability and feasibility of iCare v.1.0 with student and faculty users.
To identify areas for improvement in future EHR development.

Main Methods:

Rapid prototyping software development and testing model.
Usability and feasibility testing with 12 participants (undergraduate/graduate students and faculty).
Evaluation using Nielsen's usability heuristics and focus group data.

Main Results:

Users desired a full-featured EHR with coaching and guidance features.
Initial versions lacked help features, which were later added.
The interface design was found to be similar to professional EHR applications.

Conclusions:

The iCare v.1.0 application provides a foundation for student performance tracking.
Future versions require enhanced help features, advanced reporting, and specialty-specific modules.
Usability feedback is critical for iterative EHR development and user satisfaction.
