Advantage of using EHRs
As a myriad of hospitals as well as physicians have moved to EHRs, but there are plenty more who need to understand the power of EHRs as well.

And, this not just in the best interest of the care seekers but allows the caregivers to be function more efficiently as well.
However, the most of the EHRs designs are not intuitive as well as the user interfaces are a bit clumpy too. This has made it quite tough and challenging for the clinicians to make full use of EHRs, and this may impact the adopt-ability of the software as well.
The need of a good UI
Any technical solution with a one-size-fits-all type of a UI, which is curated for a generic user group or a device may lead to lower adoption and implementation. Whereas, if the UI of the solution which is specifically developed for every type of user, seems to be more preferred.
Also, UI of the healthcare systems should be clutter-free as none of the healthcare professionals would like to waste time on figuring out how to use the system.
EHR developers should leverage the skill of experienced UI developers to develop custom EMR systems which have simple UIs with clear user roles, and have explicit UI patterns created for every device.
This makes it all the smoother for the user to access the tasks they need. Also, a good UI that is not only pleasing to eye, but is very simple to use always gets good credit from the users. Therefore, it is important to make the UI of EHRs very interesting to not only retain the clients but also catch the fancy of many new users.
