Abstract

Health information systems have extremely complex, variable and changeable information requirements and vendor-controlled development has resulted in systems that frequently neither reflect clinical users' domain knowledge nor meet their needs. 'Web 2.0' approaches have transformed the commercial/public internet world. Consequently we created MedWISE, a 'web 2.0' EHR interface which allows users to create, select, configure, and share information, displays and tools, via simple drag/drop interfaces, without programmers1. Possible advantages include greater suitability to user needs, incorporation of multiple information sources, interoperability, agile reconfiguration, capture of user tacit knowledge, efficiencies due to workflow and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) improvements, and greater user acceptance.
