Exploring the Utilization of and Outcomes from Health Information Exchange in Emergency Settings
This research assessed the use of a health information exchange system in emergency department settings, finding that although overall usage is relatively low, additional functionalities such as single sign on add value to clinical decision making and enable faster retrieval of patient records from external sources compared to traditional methods when embedded into existing workflows.
Use of Push and Pull Health Information Exchange Technologies by Ambulatory Care Practices and the Impact on Potentially Avoidable Healthcare Utilization
This research demonstrated primary care providers’ complementary use of “push” and “pull” health information exchange technologies to meet their information needs and provides evidence that “pull” exchange reduces potentially avoidable healthcare utilization.
Coordinating Transitions: Health Information Technology Role in Improving Multiple Chronic Disease Outcomes
This study aimed to improve care transitions for low-income patients with multiple chronic conditions using health information exchange, and found significant reductions in inpatient and emergency department utilization.
Electronic Exchange of Poisoning Information
The research team developed the first poison control center-emergency department health information exchange capability in the United States.
A Community Health Information Exchange-based Hospital Readmission Risk Prediction & Notification System
This project developed and validated a 30-day readmission risk prediction model that incorporated data from a health information exchange.
Topic Refinement and Systematic Review for Health Information Exchange
This project conducted a large scale systematic review to synthesize existing evidence on health information exchange use and effectiveness.
How Do You Define Regional? The Geography of Health Information Exchange
This project examined the concept of geographical area that is fundamental to health information exchange activity, and explored the practical and policy implications of how exchange service areas are defined and measured.
Assessing Readiness, Achievement & Impact of Stage 3 Care Coordination Criteria
This project assessed the readiness, feasibility, and perceived impact of achieving proposed Stage 3 Meaningful Use care coordination criteria among primary care practices.
Improving Rural Healthcare Transitions Through Health Information Exchange
