Abstract
There is almost universal agreement on the benefits of an Electronic Medical Records (EMR) System, yet successful implementations are few. While EMR systems focus on the important areas of functionality, interoperability and security, the area of usability has been overlooked. No electronic medical records system can be viable unless it addresses usability. We have had the opportunity to work with several systems and have employed field data gathering, expert reviews, usability testing and ScoreCarding to enhance the usability of EMR systems. Unless usability becomes more widespread and is given a higher priority, the benefits of an EMR system will remain elusive. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
