Health Information Exchange Utilization and Inter-Hospital Transfer Outcomes
Using Social Knowledge Networking (SKN) Technology To Enable Meaningful Use of EHR Technology
This pilot project implemented a Social Knowledge Networking system and concluded that it supported progress toward meaningful use of medication reconciliation technology in an electronic health record.
Using Location-Based Smartphone Alerts Within a System of Care Coordination
This project will design and implement a care coordination system using a smartphone application that sends location-based alerts to care managers when high-risk patients receive care at a regional hospital or emergency room.
Interactive Patient-Centered Discharge Toolkit To Promote Self-Management During Transitions
This project will implement and evaluate a previously developed, interactive, patient-centered discharge toolkit to improve the transition of care from the inpatient to outpatient settings.
Electronic Medication Adherence Reporting and Feedback During Care Transitions
This project will implement and evaluate a “smart” pillbox given to patients in order to understand its ability to minimize discrepancies in prescribed regimens and to improve patients’ medication adherence after hospital discharge.
Information Needs of Homecare Nurses During Admission and Care Planning
This project will analyze and model the information requirements, decisionmaking, and workflow of homecare nurses admitting patients and characterize if and how health information technology systems support their needs.
Developing an Interactive, Patient-Centered mHealth Tool to Enhance Post-Cystectomy Care
This project will develop a mobile health tool that will prospectively collect patient-centered outcomes data on key symptoms of postoperative bladder cancer patients.
Care Transitions and Teamwork in Pediatric Trauma: Implications for Health Information Technology Design
This project seeks to develop an understanding of the cognitive work of clinician teams and family members involved in pediatric trauma care transitions in order to design usable and useful health information technologies.
Open & Act: Tracking Health Care Team Response to EHR Asynchronous Alerts
This project analyzed secondary data to identify factors associated with timely opening of electronic health record-based asynchronous alerts, timely response to the alerts, and patient outcomes.
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.
