Characterizing and visualizing display and task fragmentation in the electronic health record: mixed methods design.
The complexity of health care data and workflow presents challenges to the study of usability in electronic health records (EHRs). This study aimed to define and analyze some of the main sources of fragmentation in EHR user interfaces (UIs); discuss relevant theoretical, historical, and practical considerations; and use granular microanalytic methods and visualization techniques to help us understand the nature of fragmentation and opportunities for EHR optimization or redesign.

How coping can hide larger systems problems: the routine immunisation supply chain in Bihar, India.
Researchers developed a computational simulation model of Bihar, India's routine immunization supply chain where coping occurs to evaluate the broader impact of coping. They conclude that their results show how coping can hide major system design deficiencies and how restricting coping can improve problem diagnosis and potentially lead to enhanced system design.
