Abstract

A study was conducted to investigate how well the design of an electronic health record (EHR) supported the shared understanding of medication-related information between home healthcare team members. EHR data from a home healthcare admission visit was obtained and reviewed for medication-related entries. Entries were characterized based on their location within the EHR interface. The analysis identified 50 different medication-related entries which were distributed across 18 EHR sections. The results highlight opportunities to improve the EHR design to better support a shared understanding between healthcare team members of medication-related information, and patient information more generally.
