HIMSS Word of the Day #228: Infobutton
An infobutton is a link inside the EHR that sends the clinical context, such as the medication, diagnosis, patient age, or user role, to a knowledge resource so the response fits the situation. This post explains the HL7 Context-Aware Knowledge Retrieval standard, how requests and responses work, what a systematic review found about infobutton design, and how nurses and informaticists can use infobuttons for evidence and patient education.
