A related essay on THCB, by Matt Quinn [Special Expert, Health IT, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality], provides additional insight on the reports:
Assessment
And, in June, AHRQ plans to award a follow-on project for the development, testing and dissemination of an easy-to-use, objective and evidence-based toolkit to evaluate critical aspects of eHR systems’ usability, accessibility and information design.
In addition, the National Institute of Standards and Technology is currently seeking applications for development of an eHR usability evaluation framework, and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, AHRQ and other agencies are collaborating on a joint conference in July to promote collaboration in HIT usability.
