Abstract

The use of paper-based templates for recording patient information prior to rounds is a common approach to information management. Even with the introduction of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs), residents spend time transferring information to rounding templates. An analysis of rounding templates from 11 Neonatal Intensive Care Units was undertaken in order to characterize the template layouts and information elements associated with rounding in this setting. The template patterns and implications for EMR design are discussed.
