You are HIM subject-matter expert for an information system vendor who has entered the ambulatory electronic health record business arena. You have been assigned the responsibility of developing data entry screens for the programmer to use in the development of the system. Your instructions are to use Microsoft Access to develop three data entry computer screens for an EHR. You must use sound user interface principles. Each form should use different types of data entry skills and should build in data quality principles. In other word, you need to use different types of entry, such as free text, radio buttons, check boxes, drop down boxes, and the like. Because all of the screens will be part of the same EHR, they need to use the same colors, have the same look and feel, and so on. Each screen should contain at least 8 data elements. All screens should have at least 1 drop down box with data populated.

Write narratives to describe each of the 3 screens that you developed. In each narrative, answer the following questions:

What is the purpose of the screen?

The screens are used to input

Why is each data element important to this screen?

Why is the type of data entry appropriate for the data element?

How did you design data quality into the screen?
