    Abstract:
    Based on our analysis of descriptions provided by four EHR vendors on their EHR usability efforts, we provide three recommendations aimed at improving the usability of health information technology and reducing clinician burnout. First, EHR vendors need to dedicate increased attention to the design of the entire sociotechnical (work) system, including the EHR technology and its usability as well as the interactions of the technology with other system elements. Second, EHR vendors need to deepen and broaden their understanding of the work of clinicians and care teams by using diverse and mixed method. Third, in collaboration with health care organizations, EHR vendors should engage in cycles of continuous design and learning in order to improve the usability of health IT.
