A study of user requests regarding the fully electronic health record system at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital.
Although the adoption rates for Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are growing, significant opportunities for further advances in EHR system design remain. The goal of this study was to identify issues that should be considered in the design process for the successful development of future systems by analyzing end users' service requests gathered during a recent three-year period after a comprehensive EHR system was implemented at Seoul National University's Bundang Hospital (SNUBH) in South Korea. Data on service requests from end users of the EHR system made from 2008 through 2010 were analyzed and categorized. From our study, we found that the EHR system has evolved to optimize ease of use and special functionalities for particular groups of users and particular subspecialties.
