Usability Standards for EHRs

“There is not yet enough science to determine the one right way to do user interfaces. I doubt that there is enough science to objectively conclude trade-offs between, for example, being able to see everything at once that is on a printed cover sheet vs. using smaller or less costly devices. (It would be easy to see a standard based solely on usability principles proscribing any devices other than wall-mounted HD screens with special glasses needed to prohibit accidental viewing by non-authorized people.) I *AM NOT* making light of usability principles; I am simply pointing out that they represent one set of factors in a trade-off in selecting an EHR.”
