This study will integrate a previously piloted risk tool and clinical decision aid, MammoScreen, with an EHR to provide personalized decision support for both patients and clinicians to improve quality of care for women who are at increased risk for breast cancer.

The overall goal of the research is to advance the integration and use of patient-generated digital health data in ambulatory care settings.

This research developed the Collaboration Oriented Approach for Controlling HBP (COACH) tool that incorporates high blood pressure (HBP) recommendations along with known best practices for patient engagement for management of HBP.

This research identified the data domains at greatest risk of communication errors during intensive care unit (ICU) patient rounds, developed the ability to conduct simulated ICU rounds for research and training, and found that there is a need for real-time simultaneous reviewing of data by all members of the rounding team to reduce communication errors.

The research team identified key information needs for clinicians providing and coordinating care for patients with complex medical, social, and economic needs, and developed and tested design principles for electronic health record systems to support social determinants of health data capture and clinical decision support.

This project conducted a large scale systematic review to synthesize existing evidence on health information exchange use and effectiveness.

Demonstrates the value of an integrated outpatient and inpatient health information system by assessing adherence to evidence-based treatment guidelines for women who are group B streptococcus positive including inappropriate antibiotic use and screening in the outpatient setting, and cost-benefit analysis.
