Pediatric and Primary Care EMR Business Process Management: A Look Back, a Look Under the Hood, and a Look Forward – A White Paper
Webster, Charles, and Mark Copenhaver, 2009
We describe an ambulatory electronic health record (EHR) workflow management system (WfMS)—employed to create a high-usability pediatric electronic medical record (EMR) workflow system—that is currently in use by 4000 users at 300 medical offices and has been deployed since 1995. WfMS features and functionality include a workflow engine, workflow process definition editor, and a universally viewable annotated worklist that represents patient location and task status in real time.
