What score do your nurses give for EHR usability?

What works?  What doesn't Work?

FTA
A study published this week in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association found that more favorable electronic health record usability scores are associated with lower odds of burnout – and those usability scores have tanked.   

Researchers found that among 1,285 nurses who responded to a November 2017 survey about usability and burnout the mean nurse-rated EHR usability score was 57.6.   

The research team categorized this with a grade of "F."  

EHR usability has been found to be a source of frustration for physicians, but less is known about perceived usability among nurses. The study team – comprising researchers from the Yale School of Medicine, the Mayo Clinic, the University of Virginia School of Nursing, the American Nurses Association and the Stanford School of Medicine – sought to change that.

The Arch Collaborative gave us all some guidance on this.  A say in the build.  A way to customize the environment.  Better training to name a few.

All progress starts with intentionality.  Make it a priority, fund the priority, staff the priority, and measure progress.  Are we doing that in this case?
