Accepting controversial technologies is debatable in any field of science and technology. The healthcare sector is no different, with discordant conceptualization and user perspective that includes associated risk. In this scenario, the authors comprehensively describe the features and advantages of a system developed using user-configurable Web 2.0 electronic health records (EHRs). There's no doubt the healthcare sector is rich with information. Integration of such information when making informed decisions, however, is a gigantic challenge. Given that the characterization of the Web 2.0 approach is clear, precise, and solution-driven, more user perspective is a valid move. Clinical information systems (CISs) are complex and demand human judgment for making expert decisions. MedWISE user-configurable application development is a promising start for EHR application design and development, but the use of agile reconfiguration approaches requires more clinician involvement to quantify the versatility and accuracy of the decision-making process. Though the attempt is commendable, the presentation requires further clarity, particularly in the areas of architecture and the clinical data-summary time-dependent life cycle. Furthermore, the study is constrained with a conclusion; the authors could have improved it further by including the clinicians' involvement. Overall, the MedWISE application is novel and significant to EHR management and its allied application development. This application provides unique insights, and is regarded to be at the forefront of innovative application development and dissemination for health (medical) informatics.
