HealthBoard: an Open-Source Visual Display for the Patient-Centered Medical Home Environment 1st Annual Open Source EHR Summit Gaylord National Convention Center Thursday, October 18th, 2012 Christopher Goranson Director goransoc@newschool.edu Damian Bendersky Adobe Flex Developer bendersd@newschool.edu Parsons Institute for Information Mapping, The New School This work is supported by the Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC) at the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC)through award W81XWH-11-2-0025
Visual Display of Patient s Health Information and Medical Records
What is HealthBoard? HealthBoard is a widget-based presentation layer prototype designed for the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) environment. HealthBoard includes a Patient Portal and a Provider Portal. HealthBoard was designed in collaboration with the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC). HealthBoard was funded by TATRC, and is scheduled for release through OSEHRA in December 2012.
Why was HealthBoard Developed? HealthBoard was designed to provide active duty military personnel a way to access their own personal health information and interact with their healthcare provider.
A Brief History of HealthBoard Parsons conducted research on AHLTA and developed new GUI prototypes (under separate award). Parsons began project to develop a visual dashboard prototype that provides information on patient care. Parsons worked with WRNMMC to develop workflows and visual assets appropriate for the Patient-Centered Medical Home. Parsons began user testing, finalized prototype development and began preparing HealthBoard for an eventual open source release through OSEHRA.
Some guiding principles behind HealthBoard Electronic Medical Records do not by default have to be systemcentric they can be designed with the end user in mind. Good design leads to systems that are more likely to be accepted by the end user community, and therefore adopted. Improvements in usability can lead to less time spent on tasks and a decrease in errors. A patient should not have to use an interface originally designed for their health care provider.
Why are we moving HealthBoard to OSEHRA? We believe the most effective benefit for the government and MHS community is to release HealthBoard through a licensed open source structure that promotes a more integrated, universal adoption of a presentation layer. OSEHRA provides an active developer community that can work with us to implement HealthBoard alongside other open source EMR technologies.
What can HealthBoard be used for? HealthBoard can be used as a presentation layer for an existing EMR. HealthBoard s modules can be used separately or together to enhance existing features. Developers can use HealthBoard s iconography and style guides to further enhance other existing open source systems. Since HealthBoard is open source, the presentation layer can be continually enhanced and expanded by the OSEHRA community and / or Parsons.
HealthBoard and the PIIM Canonic GUI Model (PCGM) HealthBoard provides a simpler way for users to access existing data stored in an EHR.
What comes with HealthBoard? 1. Design Assets: Design & Engineering Volumes Graphic Design Files Icon Sets Wireframes 2. A Flex/Flash Prototype
