User-centered design of a longitudinal care plan for children with medical complexity.
This study’s goal was to determine content priorities and design preferences for a longitudinal care plan (LCP) among caregivers and healthcare providers who care for children with complex medical conditions (CMC) in acute care settings. Thirty iterative one-on-one design sessions with 10 caregivers and 20 providers were conducted. There was high within-group variability in content preferences among caregivers compared to provider groups. The authors identified 6 design preferences: a familiar yet customizable layout, a problem-based organization schema, linked content between sections, a table layout for most sections, a balance between unstructured and structured data fields, and use of family-centered terminology.

Nurse, patient, and care partner perceptions of a personalized safety plan screensaver.
A patient safety plan dashboard was developed that captures disparate data from the electronic health record that is then displayed as a personalized bedside screensaver. End user perceptions of the content and interface of the personalized safety plan screensavers were identified and strategies to overcome the barriers to use for future iterations were defined. Differences emerged stemming from each group of end users' role on the care team.

Patient-centered care, collaboration, communication, and coordination: a report from AMIA's 2013 Policy Meeting.
AMIA’s 2013 Health Policy Invitational was focused on examining existing challenges surrounding full engagement of the patient and crafting a research agenda and policy framework encouraging the use of informatics solutions to achieve this goal. This paper summarizes the meeting as well as the research agenda and policy recommendations prioritized among the invited experts and stakeholders.

Opportunities in interdisciplinary care team adoption of electronic point-of-care documentation systems.
The authors conducted three evaluation studies in community and hospital settings to examine point-of-care documentation system adoption among interdisciplinary care team clinicians. At all sites, mismatch between system functionality and workflow was a barrier to clinician system access during patient care and reduced clinician efficiency; however, clinicians were satisfied with their ability to access other clinicians’ notes, without increased interdisciplinary team communication.
