Originally designed for operational functions including billing and regulatory compliance, these systems have had unintended consequences including increased exam room documentation, divided attention during the visit, and use of scribes to alleviate documentation burdens. In an age in which technology is ubiquitous in everyday life, we must re-envision healthcare technology to support both clinical operations and, above all, the patient\u2013clinician relationship. We present 6 habits for designing user-centered health technologies: (1) put patient care first, (2) assemble a team with the right skills, (3) relentlessly ask WHY, (4) keep it simple, (5) be Darwinian, and (6) don\u2019t lose the forest for the trees. These habits should open dialogues between developers, implementers, end users, and stakeholders, as well as outline a path for better, more usable technology that puts patients and their clinicians back at the center of care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jamia\/ocz098","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,21]],"date-time":"2019-05-21T20:16:19Z","timestamp":1558469779000},"page":"1109-1114","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Six
