Background Family medicine practices (FMPs) make the basis for the Croatian health care system. Use of electronic health record (EHR) software is mandatory and it plays an important role in running these practices, but important functional features still remain uneven and largely left to the will of the software developers. Objective The objective of this study was to develop a novel and comprehensive model for functional evaluation of the EHR software in FMPs, based on current world standards…

TLDR
It is shown that a user-centred approach can be used to compare diverse electronic solutions and the importance of integrating diverse research approaches for adequate evaluation of software solutions is shown.
In this issue: Time to replace doctors’ judgement with computers
TLDR
Informaticians continue to rise to the challenge of trying to replace doctors' judgement with computers, but whilst there is progress this tends to be incremental and there are grand challenges to be overcome before computers can replace clinician.
