This research will use digital health tools leveraging patient-reported outcomes and data from electronic health records to engage individuals with multiple chronic conditions to improve understanding of individualized risk of adverse events during care transitions.
This project developed and piloted Mobile Patient-Reported Outcomes for Value and Effectiveness, a bilingual mobile patient-reported outcomes system integrated into primary care for ethnically and culturally diverse adult patients with multiple chronic conditions. It proved feasible, acceptable, and effective in enhancing communication and decision-making, while revealing usability and implementation challenges to address for broader adoption.
Researchers refined and implemented integrated digital healthcare enhancements to a previously developed, interactive, patient-centered discharge toolkit, finding that while patients used the toolkit, there were no significant changes in post-discharge healthcare utilization.
This project demonstrated the ability of an interoperable health information exchange and an electronic health record to provide useful quality and safety measures for the vulnerable populations served by two community health center clinics.
The overarching goal for this project is to improve the quality and patient-centeredness of asthmatic ambulatory care for children and adults.
This project looked at barriers to meaningful use of electronic health records by providers serving a high proportion of Medicaid-insured patients.
This project evaluated the impact of an electronic health record on the quality of diabetes care as measured by compliance with recommended processes of care and patient outcome measures.
The findings of this study demonstrated that electronic health record-based trigger methods can enable more meaningful measurement and surveillance of diagnostic errors in primary care.
Assessed the value of software applications to facilitate information transfer during the high-risk transition from hospital to home at discharge, and compared health information technology to usual care for benefits outcomes, adverse events, effectiveness, costs, and satisfaction among patients and physicians.
This study explored whether a health information technology-enabled strategy could improve quality of care for chronic conditions and preventive services.
