Tertiary Care

This research study examined the relationships between clinician use of order sets, patient-level order variation, and patient outcomes and found that order set usage reduced order variation and improved patient outcomes in patients with sepsis.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of displaying patient photos and alerts in the electronic health record for preventing wrong-patient order errors, finding rigorous evidence that these interventions significantly decrease such errors.

This research studied how communication technologies facilitate or hinder communication between nurses and physicians with the ultimate goal of supporting effective communication.

This project developed patient-tailored relevant warnings about drug-drug interactions and found that it reduced irrelevant alerts.

This project evaluated the use of an in-room interactive monitor to improve patient-centered care and family engagement within a pediatric intensive care unit.

This project developed, implemented, and evaluated a voice-generated enhanced electronic note system and found that it did not improve the time to finalize notes or clinician satisfaction.

This research used a human-centered design approach to understand the cognitive work of clinical teams involved in pediatric trauma care transitions that informed the development of two prototypes for digital healthcare solutions that support clinicians caring for pediatric trauma patients.

This project studied the influence of social networks on technology implementation and found that clinicians’ networks influence beliefs and use of the electronic medical records.

This project developed and validated a 30-day readmission risk prediction model that incorporated data from a health information exchange.
