Patient and clinician perspectives on the outpatient after-visit summary: a qualitative study to inform improvements in visit summary design.
The researchers explored patients' and clinicians' perspectives on electronic health record (EHR)-generated outpatient after-visit summaries (AVSs) to inform efforts to maximize the document's utility. They learned that core themes included the use and purpose of the AVS, content modification and prioritization, formatting improvements, customization, privacy and accuracy concerns, and clinician workflow concerns.

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.
