In principle, EMR offers clinicians the potential for instant, location independent access to comprehensive and integrated patient data. In practice, however, these benefits are not so easily delivered. In many respects, these problems are symptomatic of those experienced within the wider healthcare informatics setting, and can be attributed to the lack of clinician input into system design and development.The research sets out to explore the viability of user-led design and development of clinical healthcare informatics applications in the context of a large organisation. In pursuit of this goal, we propose to set up and execute in the field a clinician-led EMR design and development project. Methodologically, we are seeking to achieve an interdisciplinary combination of ethnography and participatory design. By applying models for managing user-led IT development observed in other organisational contexts, we will be able to determine if they have a wider applicability.The project will focus on the design, development and use of an EMR system for Deliberate Self Harm (DSH) patients. This clinical setting has been chosen because it has much to gain from the use of EMR, e.g., better service provision, enhancement of practice and because it presents a challenging set of usability requirements.
