- Description: This research will culminate in a randomized controlled trial of the Peer PLUS (People Leveraging Urgent Support) mobile app and companion web-based platform that supports communication between those with substance use disorder and peer recovery coaches to determine if it contributes to long-term recovery for these individuals.Principal Investigator: Toscos, Tammy RProject Dates: April 01, 2023 to March 31, 2028
- Description: This research is developing and evaluating a machine learning algorithm that uses existing electronic health record data to predict childhood asthma treatment response and better inform personalized treatment.Principal Investigator: Owora, Arthur HamieProject Dates: August 01, 2022 to July 31, 2024
- Description: This research will assess the validity of patient-level computable social factor phenotypes used to predict a patient’s risk of increased healthcare utilization and costs.Principal Investigator: Vest, Joshua RyanProject Dates: September 30, 2021 to August 31, 2026
- Description: This research will compare the use of predictive modeling versus traditional questionnaires to identify those with unmet social needs, use the superior method to inform the development of a clinical decision support tool, and evaluate the tool’s impact on referrals to social providers.Principal Investigator: Vest, Joshua RyanProject Dates: May 01, 2021 to April 30, 2026
- Description: The research team will implement and evaluate an integration application that incorporates relevant health information exchange data directly into the electronic health record in the emergency department.Principal Investigator: Schleyer, TitusProject Dates: September 30, 2020 to September 29, 2024
- Description: The research team implemented PatientToc™ - a mobile application for patient-reported outcomes collection originally designed for use in primary care physician practices - in pharmacies to collect information on medication adherence.Principal Investigator: Snyder, Margie E.Project Dates: April 01, 2019 to March 31, 2024
- Description: 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.Principal Investigator: Dixon, BrianProject Dates: September 01, 2017 to August 31, 2020
- Description: This research implemented and evaluated strategies to improve patient matching of health data from disparate sources improving accuracy of matching.Principal Investigator: Grannis, ShaunProject Dates: July 01, 2017 to April 29, 2023
