Abstract

The integration of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) revolutionized healthcare but often retained limitations from paper-based structures. This study proposes a framework for developing dynamic medical content specifically adapted to the clinical context including medical specialty and diseases. Tailoring content to this dynamic context offers several benefits, including improved access to relevant information, streamlined workflows, and potentially better patient outcomes. We applied our framework to develop neurosurgical content, focusing on brain tumors. The method involves defining the medical specialty, outlining user journeys, and iteratively developing artifacts like assessment forms, dashboards, and order sets. Standardized terminologies ensure consistency and interoperability. Our results demonstrate a successful development of content meeting user needs and clinical relevance. While initial implementation focused on neurosurgery, exploring scalability and AI integration offers promising avenues for further advancement. Future studies could quantitatively evaluate the impact of this method on user satisfaction and patient outcomes.
