Conceptos Básicos
The ERIOS project aims to co-create components of the Electronic Health Record (EHR) with end-users, focusing on developing dynamic temporal visualization tools to improve user experience and support clinical decision-making.
Resumen
The ERIOS project is a collaborative initiative between a healthcare software company (Dedalus), a university hospital (CHU de Montpellier), and the University of Montpellier. The project focuses on integrating research and development (R&D) within the hospital setting to co-create components of the Electronic Health Record (EHR) with end-users.
The project started with two initial use cases:
"IsoPsy" for monitoring therapeutic isolation in psychiatry
"AtbViz" for managing anti-infective treatment sequences
Through a participatory design approach, the team analyzed user needs and academic recommendations on user engagement, human-computer interaction, and data visualization. This led to the development of dynamic temporal visualization components integrated into specific dashboards.
For the "IsoPsy" use case, the team created a timeline-based visualization that allows users to easily track tasks, identify upcoming deadlines, and anticipate the need for task completion. The dashboard also includes features for task prioritization and filtering by user role.
For the "AtbViz" use case, the team developed synchronized timeline and graph components to visualize a large amount of heterogeneous data (prescriptions, laboratory results, clinical observations) in a thematic and temporally-aligned manner, supporting users in tasks such as monitoring therapies, evaluating effectiveness, and assessing treatment tolerance.
The application of user-centered design principles and academic recommendations significantly enhanced the team's ability to meet user needs and improve the usability of the EHR system.
Estadísticas
A hospital physician spends an average of 5.3 hours per day using the EHR, compared to only 1.3 hours in direct patient contact, accounting for about 37% of their daily effective work time.
The current EHR design often requires users to navigate through numerous tabs and screens to correlate relevant data, leading to information fragmentation and cognitive fatigue.
Citas
"The current work process is inefficient, mainly due to a fragmented and dispersed task tracking across multiple communication channels."
"To evaluate a patient's situation and decide on an anti-infective therapeutic approach, an infectious disease specialist must navigate through an average of 70 screens in the EHR."
