Implementation of Electronic Health Screening in Primary Care to Improve STI Testing
This research aims to integrate an electronic sexually transmitted infection (STI) risk assessment tool for adolescents into four pediatric primary care clinics.
Children's EHR Format Enhancement
This project enhanced the Children’s Electronic Health Record Format (Format) by identifying a high priority set of 47 functional requirements from the initial larger set, and creating a list of 16 recommended uses of the Format along with implementation notes.
Development of a Clinical Decision Support Tool for Facilitating Naturalistic Decision-Making and Improving Blood Culture Utilization
This project will develop and evaluate an electronic health record-embedded clinical decision support tool that draws upon the strength of analytical and naturalistic decision-making to optimize the use of blood cultures in critically ill children.
Improving Teen Care With Health IT
This project will develop and test a Web-based Health Assessment (iHA) for adolescents to screen for health risk behaviors, with an aim towards providing prevention and risk reduction counseling.
Novel IT To Create Patient-Integrated Quality Improvement
