You Have Been Granted Funds by a Hospital to Perform

Essay

You have been granted funds by a hospital to perform a long-term study on the design and implementation of an electronic health record system. Your study requires multiple parts: including, interviewing patients, reviewing these results, designing the electronic health record interface, testing the interface with users (doctors and patients) for usability, analysing these results, making design changes based on the users' feedback; and finally re-testing with different users. You plan to continue to re-test with users until you have achieved an interface that has a high level of usability as perceived by the users. Thus, you have not yet completed your study, but you have been asked by the hospital to provide a progress report on the work you have performed, thus far. Write an essay that first describes what type of structure or format you will use to organize your progress report and your rationale. Next, outline what content and information you would include in the beginning, middle, and end of your progress report. You can use an outline format for this part.
