Assessing the usability and performance of digital healthcare systems in Nigerian teaching hospitals: Challenges and future directions
The findings, particularly the 79.4% of clinicians desiring additional features and the 80.2% experiencing system slowdowns, highlight the urgent need for digital healthcare policies in developing nations to prioritize user-centered design protocols during systems implementation in order to better align EHR systems with clinical workflows and reduce clinician burnout. It would as a result be pertinent to engage the clinicians in any future design or redesign process and also provide targeted trainings which will ensure EHR systems better support healthcare providers in delivering quality patient care.
