The Registered Record Administrator: User Surrogate for Medical Information Systems Analysis

摘要

The Registered Record Administrator (RRA) is highly qualified to serve as a user surrogate in development of automated medical information systems. This medical record professional has many identifiable assets which she can bring to the systems development effort, but the foremost is her existing knowledge and experience as a functioning information handler in the medical setting. Delineating the RRA as user surrogate will especially address the recognized problems of inadequate requirements definition and lack of system integrity. Placing the RRA on the systems development team is a practical, cost-conscious management step which can provide immediate positive results.
