• Best overall design: “Nightingale”

• Best medical/problem history: “Grouping by Time”– Focused on providing more context to EHRs by listing items in chronological order instead of grouping by functional type so cause and effect can be seen, according to the report.
• Best lab summaries: “Health Summary” — Brought life to lab summaries through an aggregate health score and rich graphs of lab values, according to the report.
