Electronic health records are often initially tailored for general medical and surgical needs in hospitals and ambulatory care settings. The design, functionality, and anticipated workflow serve those arenas well, but serve many other specialties less well. This chapter considers some of the specialties and niche arenas that need additional and altered functionality. These systems must be adapted significantly to meet the needs of all patients. Pediatrics, medical specialties, surgical specialties, and emergency medicine are just some of the areas that require special attention and focus from clinical informatics professionals. The decision has to be made whether the enterprise electronic health record will be forced into use in a specific arena or whether a specialty system will be used. |
