This information is provided directly by researchers, and we recognise that it isn't always easy to understand. We are working with researchers to improve the accessibility of this information. In some summaries, you may come across links to external websites. These websites will have more information to help you better understand the study.


This study aims to evaluate a computer program called MiADE which is designed to make it easier for clinicians to enter information in electronic health records in a structured, coded form. The study will assess the performance and utility of the system, and inform future improvements and developments.

Start dates may differ between countries and research sites. The research team are responsible for keeping the information up-to-date.  

The recruitment start and end dates are as follows:

23 Oct 2023 01 Jan 2025

The study is a before-and-after comparison of the recording of structured information in electronic health records with and without the MiADE system. Clinicians participating in the study will be trained in the use of the new system and asked to fill in questionnaire surveys. The researchers will compare the average number of structured entries recorded per patient before and after switching on the MiADE system. They will observe a sample of outpatient consultations and interview a sample of patients to find out how the system affects their experience of the consultation. They will also interview a sample of clinicians working in the inpatient and outpatient settings.


Clinicians at UCLH and inpatients managed under the care of a participating team during the study period

You can take part if:



You may not be able to take part if:


There are no patient exclusions.

If patients are unable to give written consent, the study will be discussed with a consultee who will be asked to give advice as to whether the patient would wish to be included in the study. A decision on whether or not to include the patient in the study will be based on a best interests assessment.

Participants will be able to improve the usability of electronic health record systems, and thereby improve the quality of data within the systems. This will support safer patient care and better research. The risks for study participants are minimal.
