مستخلص: Despite widespread adoption and maturity, paper persistence endures in many Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems, particularly for complex workflows involving multiple steps from different stakeholders separated in time. In our health system, Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI) testing was one such workflow where a Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) must be administered and then correctly read 48-72 hours later and documented. This paper discusses a low-resource workflow analysis and clinical decision support approach to replace a paper workflow and garner the benefits of the EHR for clearer documentation and retrieval of LTBI results. Our approach resulted in a significant increase in completed TST documentation, 57% (24/42) to 95% (18/19), P < 0.003. Human-centered design practices such as work system analysis and formative usability testing are feasible with limited resources and improve the likelihood of success of electronic workflows by designing solutions that fit existing clinical workflows and automating processes wherever possible.
