Understanding Complex Clinical Decision Tasks for Better Health Information Technology System Design
The purpose of this study is to improve the understanding of complexity associated with the tasks in clinical decisions to guide the design for innovative clinical decision support that supports high-level reasoning in complex decision tasks.
Electronic Exchange of Poisoning Information
The objective of this study is to develop, implement, and evaluate a replicable, scalable infrastructure for health information exchange supported emergency department and poison control centers collaboration.
Exploring the Creation of Nurses Information Documentation and Use in Clinic Work
This project will develop a thorough understanding of paper tools that nurses use to organize information, and will recommend strategies for the development of a standardized electronic tool based on the paper tools.
Functional Assessment Screening Patient Reported Information: FAST-PRI
This study evaluated the Functional Assessment Screening Tablets (FAST) tool that provides patients with self-management support and found that FAST prompted discussions about healthy behaviors between patients and providers.
Improving Post-Hospital Transitions and Ambulatory Care for Children with Asthma
This project worked to develop and implement two health information technology (IT) applications to improve care transitions from the hospital setting to the ambulatory and home settings.
Supporting Continuity of Care for Poisonings With Electronic Information Exchange
This project identified the information requirements for health information exchange between poison control centers and emergency departments.
Knowledge Engineering for Decision Support in Osteoporosis
This project developed a Veterans Affairs-optimized fracture absolute risk assessment rule for identifying males at highest risk of osteoporotic fracture.
Context-Aware Knowledge Delivery into Electronic Health Records
This project identified clinicians’ information needs and designed, developed, implemented, and evaluated a knowledge-delivery prototype to help clinicians meet those needs.
Using Health Information Technology to Support Population-Based Clinical Practice
This project’s aim was to improve providers' ability to distinguish viral infections from bacterial infections by providing physicians and patients with timely, accessible information about the local incidence of common respiratory viruses through the use of a population health repository and decision support tools.
Patient-Centered Informatics System to Enhance Health Care in Rural Communities
This demonstration project was conducted to evaluate whether the Unified Health Resource, a combined personal health record, an electronic medical record (EMR), and a communication system, led to more patient-centered care in rural communities in the Intermountain West.
