In 1971, the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA) became one of the first large healthcare systems to fully implement a computerized patient record system. Shortly thereafter, in 1972, Regenstrief developed the Regenstrief Medical Record System (RMRS), a historically important EMR. The purpose of this early EMR was described in a quote that is still applicable today:

AbstractComputerized medical record systems have to present user-and problem-oriented views of a patient record to health-care professionals. Presentation and manipulation of data must be easily adaptable to current and future demands of medical specialties and specific settings. During the definition, development and evaluation of a prototype of a computerized patient record system, design elements were elaborated to support physicians and other health-care professionals. Our approach shows a high degree of flexibility and adaptability to specific needs, problem orientation and connectivity to other systems, via a hospital information network. The explicit description of the contents of a patient record allows to augment the number of items that can be recorded without modifying the data structure. New views on patient data can be added to the system without interfering with the routine use of the system. Application in several medical specialties proved the feasibility of our prototype.

Summary Objective: We explore sociotechnical requirements by examining the use of a computerized patient record system in an intensive care unit of a U.S. hospital and present two sociotechnical requirements, awareness and coordination, embedded in the users’ work. Method: The study is based on observation during seven months of the use of a computerized patient record system in a surgical intensive care unit. During that period semi-formal interviews, informal interviews were held. Results and Conclusions: A key step in the design of clinical systems is the development and analysis of requirements. However, traditional requirements analysis is based on a set of assumptions that break down in the highly collaborative, exception-filled clinical domain. Sociotechnical requirement analysis enabled the designers to gather a much richer description of the environment surrounding the computer system, highlighting awareness and coordination, embedded in the users’ work.
