Today we have seen the transition from the paper-based health record to the Electronic Health Record (EHR). It is critical to understand how paper-based records are created and what information is needed to be able to create effective and meaningful EHR systems. When designing electronic data collection screens, it is common to begin by creating the screen(s) on paper first.
