HITECH Act's provisions to drive adoption and meaningful use of
Electronic Health Records (EHRs) holds great promise in supporting
improvements in the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of care
delivery. Replacing paper-based processes with electronic ones will
have profound implications on both how care is delivered and how
workers in healthcare organizations perform their jobs. With the
introduction of EHRs, it is vitally important that EHR developers
and healthcare organizations design, develop and implement EHRs in
such a way that supports meaningful use by all users, including
those with disabilities, and not introduce a "digital divide."
While EHRs are principally used by healthcare workers, patients
interact with these systems directly (e.g. shared use of a display
in an exam room) and indirectly through their outputs. To gain the
intended benefits of this technology, EHR systems must display or
deliver information in a manner and structure that is suitable for
their needs and preferences. Therefore, it is vitally important
that EHR developers and healthcare organizations implement
meaningful use requirements and other functionality involving
patients in a way that supports the patients, populations and
communities that they serve. This project will provide technical
guidance for EHR developers and healthcare organizations regarding
the design, development and implementation of EHR systems to
prevent the creation or exacerbation of "digital disparities" with
the national adoption and utilization of EHR systems, in the
workplace and among patients. Through identification and
application of best practices, guidance and standards in software
usability and accessibility, system developers and healthcare
organizations can ensure that EHR system support meaningful use by
users that reflect the make-up of the healthcare.
