A prototype user interface for a mobile electronic clinical note entry system.

Recent advances in mobile computing technologies have made electronic medical records(EMRs) on handheld devices an attractive possibility.However, data entry paradigms popular on desktop machines do not translate well to mobile devices 1,2. Based on a review of the literature on mobile device usability 1-4,we built a prototype user interface for mobile EMRs and held focus groups with clinician users whose feedback provided useful insight about design choices,functionality and optimal workflow integration.
