Abstract:
The paper addresses socio-technical challenges when expert users design structured user interfaces in openEHR-based Electronic Health Records (EHRs). Structuring healthcare data enables extracting and reusing clinical information for both primary and secondary purposes, contributing to the goal of creating a digital society across multiple social arenas. We use an action research approach to follow an empirical project, developing an openEHR-based registry form, and trying out the initial methodology for designing structured user interfaces in a health organization. The aim of the paper is to describe and discuss socio-technical challenges related to expert users designing openEHR-based forms. The findings relate to 1) the complex design tools 2) the compromise between instant benefit and long-term requirements 3) the need for extensive governance for user-designed software, and 4) the importance of contextualization.
