- This+study
– Shows+that+icons+represen6ng+disorders,+drug+treatments,+procedure, etc.,+can+be+used+to+enhance+medical+records – Highlight+the+system’s+benefits+to+users
- The+results+do+not+provide+a+defini6ve+valida6on+of
hypotheses+(reversal+of+the+results+between+the+two+records)
– This+difference+may+be+due+to+the+complexity+of+the+second+record changing+the+behaviour+of+the+doctors – The+need+for+the+GPs+to+have+more+6me+to+discover+the+VCM+language – The+sample+size+of+GPLevaluators+was+reduced
