Enhancing Clinical Decision Support Applications for Community Pharmacist-Delivered Medication Therapy Management
This project will formulate evidence-based recommendations for clinical decision support used by community pharmacist delivering medication therapy management. The goal is to reduce medication-related problems and improve health outcomes for chronically ill patients.
Intervention INC: Interactive Nutrition Comics for Urban Minority Youth
The research team designed and developed “Invention INC,” an interactive nutrition comic for dietary self-management, focused on reducing childhood obesity risk in urban minority youth.
Improving Anxiety Detection in Pediatrics Using Health Information Technology
This project integrated a validated anxiety-specific screening tool in an existing clinical decision support system and tested it with a randomized feasibility pilot that found the tool did not increase detection of anxiety in pediatric primary care.
SINC: Synchronized Immunization Notifications
This project will create and evaluate the impact of immunization reminders using information from an electronic health record combined with an immunization information system.
DEVISE: Data Exchange of Vaccine Information between an Immunization Information System and Electronic Health Record
This project assessed the impact of a vaccine information exchange that linked an immunization information system (IIS) to an electronic health record (EHR) and found improvements in under- and over-immunization and immunization record completeness.
