Challenges optimizing the after visit summary.
The purpose of this study was to describe experiences of health systems implementing a redesigned outpatient after visit summary (AVS) in commercially available electronic health record (EHR) systems to inform future optimization. The authors noted limitations to AVS modifications in EHR systems present challenges to optimizing the tool. They recommended that EHR vendors should incorporate learning from healthcare systems innovation efforts and consider building more flexibility into their product development.
