Amongst the sea of topics discussed at HIMSS15, user experience continues to emerge as one of the main focuses of the conference. Even as a main focus the impact that user experience has on healthcare providers and patients can be challenging to describe in a common language between developer and user. To gain clarity on health IT user experience and the value it brings to patients and providers we were fortunate to talk with three clinicians who also are experts in the field of user experience.

We’re joined by Nancy Staggers, PhD, RN, FAAN, Professor, Informatics, University of Utah, David Schlossman, MD, PhD, FACP, MMI, CPHIMS, Oncologist/Informatics, Missouri Cancer Associates, and Jeffery Belden, MD, FAAFP, Professor of Clinical Family & Community Medicine, University of Missouri Columbia. All of our guests serve on the HIMSS HIT User Experience Committee.
