The EMR Usability group

Welcome Medical professionals

Electronic Medical Records (EMR) systems should make your work easier not harder!
Are you struggling with your current EMR system or having difficulty deciding whether or not to bring EMR into your practice?

Welcome, you've come to the right place.

Everyone agrees that patients, doctors,and nurses alike would benefit from a well designed EMR system. However EMR systems are notoriously "un-user-friendly", causing low EMR adoption in the industry and difficulties in practices currently using EMR. The EMR Usability Group is dedicated to unlocking the potential benefits of EMR by focusing on its biggest challenge: Human-Centered Design and Usability

This educational web resource provides straightforward, common sense guidelines and advice to ensure that physicians make smart, well educated decisions when selecting EMR/EHR systems. By providing an educational source and discussion forum for both Physicians and IT Professionals, we hope to significantly improve EMR usability, EMR uptake and ultimately, patient care. Insist on enhancing and automating your office workflow, not impeding it.
