Current Views on Health Data Access and Usability

Innovations in health care technologies are generally accompanied with new clinical data.  In many instances, this increases the data available to providers at the point of care.  While the intent of sharing new data is to support clinical decision making, it has the potential to create ‘noise’ given the volume of data care providers must process minute-by-minute.  This ‘noise’ can have the opposite effect of what is intended by saturating the provider’s cognitive resources. As health care technology designers seek to optimize the usability of new technologies, they must help convert clinical data into actionable insights and reduce the cognitive burden placed on care providers.
