TL;DR: The PEN (Practitioners Entering Notes) and PAD project is designing a prototype human-computer interface for general medical practice employing user-centred design techniques and aims to ‘throw light’ on patient care by summarising information and by making patterns obvious.
Abstract: The PEN (Practitioners Entering Notes) and PAD (Practitioners Accessing Data) project is designing a prototype human-computer interface for general medical practice employing user-centred design techniques[2]. It aims to ‘throw light’ on patient care by summarising information and by making patterns obvious. Doctors are already overloaded with information. The PENPAD project is trying to demonstrate how to use information technology without aggravating the information overload.
