    Nifty study. Modest but significant. Shows how useful EHRs can be if they are usable. Dr. Koopman may well have prevented herself from receiving additional funding from the Cerner Corporation because she has shown how much better the dashboard performs than Cerner's current offering.

    A serious contribution to medical informatics. Thank you.

    Thanks, Don.

    You are exactly right. Integrated multi-condition dashboards are the next step. The other next step is interactivity - being able to enter data directly on the dashboard page, and then having that help you with your documentation, too. There are lots of exciting possibilities, but we need clinicians on these teams so we can really get what we need.

    This paper is a great illustration of the workflow issues associated with using the current generation of EHR's to deliver evidence-based care in routine practice. Over 5 minutes to access relevant information for diabetes, translates out to the bulk of the time available during a visit once you factor in prevention issues and other common co-morbid chronic diseases. Similarly, a dashboard focused on diabetes is only a first step. Rarely does diabetes exist alone as a chronic disease. We need the next generation of EHR's to address these issues.

    Great work, Dr. Koopman and colleagues!
