2ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD SYSTEM1. Background of the project It is found that prior to the year 1960; all medical records were generally kept on paperand in different manual filling system. All the reports including diagnoses, visit notes as well asmedical directions are generally written as well as maintained using paper sheets and weremainly labeled using patient’s last name, security number and other chart numbering system. Inthe mid of 1960’s an electronic system was mainly developed by Lockheed and after then othertechnology as well as engineering companies generally started developing medical health recordsystem for hospitals. In the year 1991, institute of medicine generally implemented the result ofthe study that was mainly undertaken for studying the utilization of paper record. The reportmainly helps in arguing the case of utilizing EHR as one of the key recommendation thatgenerally helps in improving the patient’s record. By the year 2004, the requirement ofconversion of various medical records to EHRs was mainly recognized with the creation of ONCand health information technology. Today, EHR is considered as one of the secure as well aseffective tool that helps in maintaining patient’s health care data in order to communicate withpatients as well as for supporting the patient-physician relationship. Electronic health record system generally assists in providing accurate as well as up todate information to the patients. The utilization of EHR system helps in enabling quick accesswithin the records of the patient for more coordinated as well as efficient care. In addition to this,use of electronic health record system also helps in securely sharing information of the patientsand further assists providers in properly diagnosing patients, reduce medical errors and more.

3ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD SYSTEM2. Motivation for the project The motivation for the project is to analyze the potential impact of usability issues ofelectronic health record system and to determine systematic steps that are helpful in conductingproper validation studies. It is identified that validation study generally helps in guiding in orderto provide help and for assuring that the user interface of the application is free from varioustypes of critical usability issues for supporting error-free user interaction. The project mainlyincludes three step procedures that mainly incorporate validation procedure as well as evaluationfor designing human user performance testing as well as for designing evaluation. The proceduremainly focused on enhancing safe utilization of electronic health record system for increasing theease of EHR utilization.3. Problem statement It is found that usability is one of the important factors that are generally hinderingwidespread adoption of electronic health record system. Poor usability of electronic health recordsystem generally helps in inhibiting proper utilization of the system and in some extreme cases itcan put the patients in danger. Due to poor as well as cumbersome design of the interfaces, theusers got frustrated which can impact patient health care in a negative way. Improper usabilityhelps in decreasing clinical productivity, as well assists in enhancing error rate.4. Scope of the project The scopes of the project are categorized into in-scope as well as out-scope.In scope: In scope of the project include:Reviewing user interfaces of electronic health record system
