title: Supporting communication in an integrated patient record system.
abstract: Over the past two years, Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) has developed and implemented an integrated user interface front end that gives users a homogeneous view that supports directly the clinical workflow. This system, known as StarPanel, is a Web-based front end that integrates seamlessly all the functions needed for busy outpatient clinics. The key design concept is the ability to support communication as the fundamental activity of a health care team.
