This research developed and evaluated the Prevent Diabetes Mellitus Clinical Decision Support tool and found that its use improved processes related to care.
This research expanded, implemented, and evaluated the use of an electronic health record-based patient-reported outcomes screening and needs assessment platform to improve screening and referral for oncology patients.
This research implemented indication alerts, which occur when an ordered or prescribed medication lacks a corresponding problem on the patient’s problem list. The research found a significant increase in problem placement rates, a modest increase in order abandonment (when a wrong patient error was detected), and a slight increase in order retractions (when a wrong drug error was detected).
The research team developed a smartphone application that notifies primary care providers when patients receive care in the hospital or emergency department, allowing for rapid followup care.
This project evaluated the effects of providing caregivers of older adults proxy access to electronic patient portals and found that information exchange between caregivers and providers increased.
This project compared high and low intensity support for implementation of clinical decision support (CDS) and found that the low intensity support may be sufficient to help community health centers improve their use of CDS over a relatively short time period.
