Background:
Electronic health records (EHRs) are critical to modern health care systems, transforming patient data management and health care delivery. Despite their benefits to patient care and safety, EHRs often face challenges in physician satisfaction and efficiency. The Inpatient Dashboard is an online EHR companion tool that streamlines the presentation of clinical information, standardizes inpatient notes, and improves safety measures.
Observations:
The Inpatient Dashboard was assessed by a survey of 4 general medicine teams at the Veterans Affairs Ann Arbor Healthcare System from December 2018 to September 2019. The survey focused primarily on satisfaction, perceived safety, efficiency, and workload stress. The 68 respondents represented various medical training levels. They expressed overall satisfaction with the Inpatient Dashboard, with the majority (86%) preferring it over the Computerized Patient Records System (CPRS).
Conclusions:
The Inpatient Dashboard exemplifies an innovative, user-centric EHR solution that produced high satisfaction among users at a Veterans Health Administration hospital.
