SI-Cerner Users Collaborative No. 44: MPage Use at University of Washington

Thomas Payne, MD, Medical Director for IT Services, University of Washington. mPages build on the Millennium foundation to permit sites to address workflow, display, and simple data entry needs quickly. It is a satisfier for busy clinicians, which is particularly helpful when much of what EMR implementation involves is not well-received by all. Creating mPages uses technical skills that are easier to find than CCL, and mPage projects are an outlet for creativity and ideas that are the fun part of clinical computing. In short, it makes life better for our users and those who support them. We describe our experience in UW Medicine and the community of mPage sites that now exists.
