Usability testing of two ambulatory EHR navigators.
Researchers sought to understand if redesigning an EHR-based navigation tool with clinician input improved user performance and satisfaction. A usability evaluation was conducted to compare two versions of a redesigned ambulatory navigator. The version of navigator did not affect perceived workload, and time to complete tasks was longer in the redesigned navigator. Preferences for EHR navigation structures appeared to be individualized.

Initiation of treatment for incident diabetes: evidence from the electronic health records in an ambulatory care setting.
The researchers examined patterns and predictors of initiation of treatment for incident diabetes in an ambulatory care setting in the US. They found that only half of patients were treated during the first year following diabetes incidence, and only 20% of patients received both medication prescription and lifestyle modification interventions.

Clocks moving at different speeds: cultural variation in the satisfaction with wait time for outpatient care.
This study explored racial/ethnic differences in satisfaction with wait time of scheduled office visits by comparing electronic health record -based, patient-reported, and patient satisfaction with wait time. It found that given actual wait times, Asians perceive longer wait time and were less satisfied with wait times. Asians may have different expectations about wait time at the clinic.
