PRISM

The Avon Foundation Comprehensive Breast Evaluation Center at Massachusetts General Hospital currently asks each patient to provide information about her medical history each time she visits the Center. The PRISM system will allow her to do that just once, comfortably and conveniently at a computer.

PRISM will be web based, easy to use, and secure. The design and testing will pay particular attention to the user's varied cultural and technical backgrounds and the need to comply with ADA guidelines. PRISM will provide secure access and maintain audit trails in order to conform to HIPAA regulations.

PRISM design will allow for future features: updating records, porting to a touch screen kiosk and scaling for patient data entry from remote sites.
