Customizing EMR Functionality and User Experience
EMR Innovations SummitJune 21, 2013
Jon Duke, Jeremy Leventhal, Chris Beesley
The Need for Innovation
• EMRs have numerous stakeholders including providers, administrators, researchers, and other consumers of clinical data
• User needs and expectations vary, often resulting in time-consuming development efforts to customize the system
• Reducing barriers to customization would increase user satisfaction, broaden system functionality, and promote innovation within a platform
Customization @ RI
• The Rule Authoring and Validation Environment (RAVE) is an advanced rule authoring tool
• The RAVE is designed to empower stakeholders to customize the system for clinical, quality, research, and other purposes

Rule Authoring
• Rules are necessary to drive decision support logic as well as other system actions
• Rule authoring is generally a complex task requiring code-like syntax
RAVE = IFTTT for EMRs
• Can mix and match channels to create a remarkable array of functionality without need for programmer intervention
• Can write rules just for yourself or (with permission) your clinic, specialty, or all users
• Rule syntax is generated automatically in a standard rules syntax (Drools)
