Metodologia centrada no usuário para especificação e padronização de informações do prontuário eletrônico do paciente

Abstract

Nowadays many Health Information Systems (HIS) are not used, because they carry through part of the functions and characteristics that the end users need. One of the main faults is the specification and the design of such systems without the participation of end users. The lack of information definition to specific Eletronic Health Record (EHR) is another point that make system utilization difficult. The main purpose of this paper is to describe a user-centered methodology for HIS information specification and standardization, with emphasis on EHR. The aim of this methodology is to consider the needs of the end users of the system, through the participation of them during the information standardization. Specialists identify and define which informations are important and essential to EHR, by questionnaires answers based on Likert scale. Therefore, a user-centered methodology and information standardization could help work designer, making it easer. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
