Patient Centered Evaluation of Computerized Patient Records System

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Electronic Medical Records

In brief

The VHA is a leader in electronic medical records (EMR) use for patient care. It is believed that EMR use by doctors will improve patient-centeredness of visits, and improve clinical care. The proposed study will determine how doctors should use the EMR during patient consultations. We will also develop a training program to improve doctors ability to communicate with patients while using EMR.
