| Resumen: | One overall objective of Electronic Patient Records (EPRs) is to improve patient education and to enhance the patient experience through the use of information technology (IT) so as to facilitate the sharing of information between providers and their patients. The research project reported on herein took place at University Health Network (UHN) in Toronto (Canada), which is a large academic health science center with multiple hospital sites in the city. As a first step in this process, we examined the literature to investigate the human factors issues related to healthcare as well as other settings. Subsequently, we interviewed a number of interested stakeholders from two groups: the physicians (both family and attending) and the patients themselves. Finally, using a simulation environment, we explored the content that UHN lung-transplant patients would be interested in having within their own EPRs. In this paper, we report on the research, the methodology and the findings pertaining to the both the content and the design of an electronic patient record.
