EMR/EHR development patterns for healthcare applications. An agent skill from affaan-m/ECC.

  • EHR features such as encounter workflows
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, How It Works and Examples
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Prescription generation

What it does

Healthcare Emr Patterns is an agent skill from affaan-m/ECC. EMR/EHR development patterns for healthcare applications. Clinical safety, encounter workflows, prescription generation, clinical decision support integration, and accessibility-first UI for medical data entry. Use when building EMR or EHR features such as encounter workflows, prescription generation, or clinical data entry UI.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Clinical and healthcare research. The repository describes itself as: The agent harness performance optimization system. Skills, instincts, memory, security, and research-first development for Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, Cursor and beyond. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • EHR features such as encounter workflows
  • Prescription generation
  • Clinical data entry UI

Example prompts

  • “/healthcare-emr-patterns”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d515e4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Healthcare Emr Patterns loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 417 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Healthcare EMR Development Patterns

Patterns for building Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems. Prioritizes patient safety, clinical accuracy, and practitioner efficiency.

When to Use

  • Building patient encounter workflows (complaint, exam, diagnosis, prescription)
  • Implementing clinical note-taking (structured + free text + voice-to-text)
  • Designing prescription/medication modules with drug interaction checking
  • Integrating Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS)
  • Building lab result displays with reference range highlighting
  • Implementing audit trails for clinical data
  • Designing healthcare-accessible UIs for clinical data entry

How It Works

Patient Safety First

Every design decision must be evaluated against: "Could this harm a patient?"

  • Drug interactions MUST alert, not silently pass
  • Abnormal lab values MUST be visually flagged
  • Critical vitals MUST trigger escalation workflows
  • No clinical data modification without audit trail
Single-Page Encounter Flow

Clinical encounters should flow vertically on a single page — no tab switching:

Patient Header (sticky — always visible)
├── Demographics, allergies, active medications
│
Encounter Flow (vertical scroll)
├── 1. Chief Complaint (structured templates + free text)
├── 2. History of Present Illness
├── 3. Physical Examination (system-wise)
├── 4. Vitals (auto-trigger clinical scoring)
├── 5. Diagnosis (ICD-10/SNOMED search)
├── 6. Medications (drug DB + interaction check)
├── 7. Investigations (lab/radiology orders)
├── 8. Plan & Follow-up
└── 9. Sign / Lock / Print
Smart Template System
typescript
interface ClinicalTemplate {
  id: string;
  name: string;             // e.g., "Chest Pain"
  chips: string[];          // clickable symptom chips
  requiredFields: string[]; // mandatory data points
  redFlags: string[];       // triggers non-dismissable alert
  icdSuggestions: string[]; // pre-mapped diagnosis codes
}

Red flags in any template must trigger a visible, non-dismissable alert — NOT a toast notification.

Medication Safety Pattern
User selects drug
  → Check current medications for interactions
  → Check encounter medications for interactions
  → Check patient allergies
  → Validate dose against weight/age/renal function
  → If CRITICAL interaction: BLOCK prescribing entirely
  → Clinician must document override reason to proceed past a block
  → If MAJOR interaction: display warning, require acknowledgment
  → Log all alerts and override reasons in audit trail

Critical interactions block prescribing by default. The clinician must explicitly override with a documented reason stored in the audit trail. The system never silently allows a critical interaction.

Locked Encounter Pattern

Once a clinical encounter is signed:

  • No edits allowed — only an addendum (a separate linked record)
  • Both original and addendum appear in the patient timeline
  • Audit trail captures who signed, when, and any addendum records

UI Patterns for Clinical Data

Vitals Display: Current values with normal range highlighting (green/yellow/red), trend arrows vs previous, clinical scoring auto-calculated (NEWS2, qSOFA), escalation guidance inline.

Lab Results Display: Normal range highlighting, previous value comparison, critical values with non-dismissable alert, collection/analysis timestamps, pending orders with expected turnaround.

Prescription PDF: One-click generation with patient demographics, allergies, diagnosis, drug details (generic + brand, dose, route, frequency, duration), clinician signature block.

Accessibility for Healthcare

Healthcare UIs have stricter requirements than typical web apps:

  • 4.5:1 minimum contrast (WCAG AA) — clinicians work in varied lighting
  • Large touch targets (44x44px minimum) — for gloved/rushed interaction
  • Keyboard navigation — for power users entering data rapidly
  • No color-only indicators — always pair color with text/icon (colorblind clinicians)
  • Screen reader labels on all form fields
  • No auto-dismissing toasts for clinical alerts — clinician must actively acknowledge
Anti-Patterns
  • Storing clinical data in browser localStorage
  • Silent failures in drug interaction checking
  • Dismissable toasts for critical clinical alerts
  • Tab-based encounter UIs that fragment the clinical workflow
  • Allowing edits to signed/locked encounters
  • Displaying clinical data without audit trail
  • Using any type for clinical data structures

Examples

Example 1: Patient Encounter Flow
Doctor opens encounter for Patient #4521
  → Sticky header shows: "Rajesh M, 58M, Allergies: Penicillin, Active Meds: Metformin 500mg"
  → Chief Complaint: selects "Chest Pain" template
    → Clicks chips: "substernal", "radiating to left arm", "crushing"
    → Red flag "crushing substernal chest pain" triggers non-dismissable alert
  → Examination: CVS system — "S1 S2 normal, no murmur"
  → Vitals: HR 110, BP 90/60, SpO2 94%
    → NEWS2 auto-calculates: score 8, risk HIGH, escalation alert shown
  → Diagnosis: searches "ACS" → selects ICD-10 I21.9
  → Medications: selects Aspirin 300mg
    → CDSS checks against Metformin: no interaction
  → Signs encounter → locked, addendum-only from this point
Example 2: Medication Safety Workflow
Doctor prescribes Warfarin for Patient #4521
  → CDSS detects: Warfarin + Aspirin = CRITICAL interaction
  → UI: red non-dismissable modal blocks prescribing
  → Doctor clicks "Override with reason"
  → Types: "Benefits outweigh risks — monitored INR protocol"
  → Override reason + alert stored in audit trail
  → Prescription proceeds with documented override
Example 3: Locked Encounter + Addendum
Encounter #E-2024-0891 signed by Dr. Shah at 14:30
  → All fields locked — no edit buttons visible
  → "Add Addendum" button available
  → Dr. Shah clicks addendum, adds: "Lab results received — Troponin elevated"
  → New record E-2024-0891-A1 linked to original
  → Timeline shows both: original encounter + addendum with timestamps
