To provide implementation insights, we conducted a qualitative study comprised of semi-structured interviews with 12 health IT experts from clinical settings to elicit their experiences with AVS improvement and implementation. Semi-Structured interviews with health IT experts We do so by reporting the results of qualitative interviews with health information technology (IT) leaders from across the US who worked on AVS customization at their institutions, and by providing a narrative report of our experience implementing a redesigned, patient-centered AVS within the Epic EHR at the Mount Sinai Hospital.Ģ.1. The purpose of this paper is to provide information that may facilitate the work of health systems seeking to improve or modify their outpatient AVS. Since Meaningful Use dropped the requirement of providing an AVS in 2016, health care systems have been free to redesign their AVS as they choose to optimize its usefulness for patients. However, patients infrequently reference, use, or even retain their AVS, suggesting currently designed documents do not meeting patients’ needs. Meaningful Use requirements mandated provision of an AVS and specified required elements. The AVS is nearly universal in the United States, resulting from incentives to promote the meaningful use of electronic health records (EHRs). If properly designed, the AVS can be an educational tool to facilitate patients’ understanding of their health, reduce recall problems, and encourage adherence to self-management tasks. The after visit summary (AVS) is given to patients after medical appointments to summarize their health and guide future care.
