Overview and Topics

Well-designed Electronic Health Record systems are crucial to effective adoption by clinical practitioners and to improving the quality of medical care. A challenge for medical informatics interface designers is to enable users to benefit from the increasing abundance information in a way that supports creative and effective decision making. Novel strategies in interface design and information visualization are needed.

Format: While attendees will be able to learn about the work conducted at the Human-Interaction Lab during other sessions of the symposium (talks on Tuesday and demos Wednesday morning), this Wednesday workshop will focus on in-depth discussions and presentations of the work of our collaborators and external researchers working on interfaces for Electronic Health Records. We will invite speakers and post the topics of the presentations as they are confirmed.

The workshop is opened to all (space permitting, so register early). If you are interested in presenting you are welcome to submit a short abstract (~ 300 words max) to Sureyya Tarkan at by May 2nd. Please summarize what you would like to present on the topic of Electronic Health Record Systems design or evaluation, and provide pointers to papers and screen shots as needed. If we receive too many requests, we may ask you to bring a poster for presentation during the breaks.
