Abstract

Current electronic health records (EHRs) are often ineffective in identifying patient priorities and care needs requiring nurses to search a large volume of text to find clinically meaningful information. Our study, part of a larger randomized controlled trial testing nursing care planning clinical decision support coded in standardized nursing languages, focuses on identifying format preferences after random assignment and interaction to 1 of 3 formats (text only, text+table, text+graph). Being assigned to the text+graph significantly increased the preference for graph (P = .02) relative to other groups. Being assigned to the text only (P = .06) and text+table (P = .35) was not significantly associated with preference for their assigned formats. Additionally, the preference for graphs was not significantly associated with understanding graph content (P = .19). Further studies are needed to enhance our understanding of how format preferences influence the use and processing of displayed information.
