Incorporating persuasive design concepts into primary care electronic health records (EHRs) increased same-day data entry by 10 percent per physician, demonstrating the potential for persuasive design to change data entry behavior, a study published in JMIR Human Factors revealed.
Persuasive design is a way of developing technology to influence behavior by leveraging social processes. Healthcare stakeholders have primarily focused on using persuasive design in consumer-facing mobile apps to improve outcomes, but there are few examples of using persuasive design to influence clinician behavior.
In primary care settings, providers often face barriers to entering data into EHRs in a timely manner. Data entry tasks often take a long time, and users may feel as if completing documentation is a lower priority than seeing patients or finishing other tasks.
“Persuasive design is a viable approach for designing and encouraging behavior change and could support effective data capture in the field of medical informatics. There may be opportunities to continue improving this approach, and further work is required to perfect and test additional designs,” the team concluded.
