Abstract
An analysis of work practice across the two hospitals revealed the role of medical records in facilitating or hindering the coordination of time sensitive and context dependent distributed work, as well as the specific influence of EMR. Recognizing that work practice compensates for the limitations of technology, we suggest four requirements for the design of EMR to promote workplace efficiency: facilitation of locally customized data presentations; support for integration of hitherto fragmented record systems and data formats; support for effective multi-user coordination of control tasks; and guidance for standardizing a level of detail in planning and documenting care.
