Designing Tailored Displays for Clinical Practice Feedback: Developing Requirements with User Stories.

Improving visualizations in clinical quality reports and dashboards may improve the visualization influence on clinical practice. Tailored displays could accommodate individual and situational differences, but these diplays introduce complex requirements across healthcare professionals and teams. We applied user stories, a method for managing complex software requirements, to a user-centered design process for tailored visual displays about postpartum contraception care. We mapped user stories to tailored displays to identify the quantity of displays that were supported by each user story. We developed 9 tailored displays and 11 user stories. Displays varied in their mappings to user stories (mean 5, max 9, min 0), revealing differences in healthcare professionals and teams preferences and information needs. User stories and user-centered design may be useful for healthcare organizations to manage complex requirements of tailored displays in clinical practice feedback.

Architecture and Initial Development of a Digital Library Platform for Computable Knowledge Objects for Health.

Throughout the world, biomedical knowledge is routinely generated and shared through primary and secondary scientific publications. However, there is too much latency between publication of knowledge and its routine use in practice. To address this latency, what is actionable in scientific publications can be encoded to make it computable. We have created a purpose-built digital library platform to hold, manage, and share actionable, computable knowledge for health called the Knowledge Grid Library. Here we present it with its system architecture.
