To assess telehealth’s role in the COVID-19 response, researchers analyzed data from the nation’s largest telehealth provider along with commercial and Medicare Advantage claims. They found that integrating near real-time telehealth data into public health reporting modestly improved 14-day forecasts of COVID-19 cases and mortality and revealed how differences in clinical management between telehealth and urgent care evolved as care delivery adapted to uncertainty and shifting guidelines.

This research aims to examine a health system’s four telehealth programs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This project demonstrated that the large-scale electronic collection of patient-reported outcome measures in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program is not only feasible but is also a notable step toward improving what matters most to patients.

This research project developed, implemented, and disseminated, reusable, shareable clinical decision support for both patients and clinicians for chronic pain management.

Working with the American College of Rheumatology, this research created a clinical learning network to increase the use of rheumatoid arthritis patient-reported outcomes (PROs), developed a natural language processing algorithm to abstract PRO measures from the Rheumatology Informatics System for Effectiveness registry, and planned for a toolkit to disseminate best practices in the implementation of PROs.

Informed by patients, caregivers, and an advisory panel of researchers and clinicians, this research developed, implemented, and evaluated an online patient portal tutorial for patients with chronic conditions.

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.
