Optimal Methods for Notifying Clinicians About Epilepsy Surgery Patients
This project will integrate an existing Natural Language Processing system into neurology clinical practice and develop a decision support mechanism to alert providers about patients with epilepsy who are potential surgical candidates with the goal to shorten the time to surgical evaluation for eligible patients.
A Theory-Based Patient Portal eLearning Program for Older Adults With Chronic Illnesses
This project will optimize and implement a vendor-agnostic eLearning program that supports older adults in using patient portals for their care.
Evaluation of the Impact of Telemedicine on Management of Rheumatoid Arthritis
This project will evaluate the impact of telemedicine rheumatology via video teleconference capability on quality of care outcomes and process measures for rheumatoid arthritis.
Electronic Medication Adherence Reporting and Feedback During Care Transitions
This project will implement and evaluate a “smart” pillbox given to patients in order to understand its ability to minimize discrepancies in prescribed regimens and to improve patients’ medication adherence after hospital discharge.
Sharing Patient Lifelog Data With the Primary Care Team for Two Patient Populations: Preventative Care & Chronic Disease Management
This project will apply an iterative, user-centered design process to understand the needs and attitudes for sharing patient-collected lifelog data with health care providers in order to improve health care management and decisionmaking.
Patient-Centered Data Visualizations for Diabetes
This project will design and develop a diabetes data visualization system for adolescents that leverages both clinical and contextual data collected on mobile phones.
Improving Diagnosis of Hypertension in Children (IDHC)
This project will develop, implement, and evaluate a program that includes clinical decision support to improve diagnosis of hypertension in children.
Health Information Technology in Heart Failure Care
This project will develop and test a clinical decision support tool to support the delivery of recommended care in hospitalized patients who have heart failure, regardless of the reason for hospitalization.
Use of Patient Buddy™ Application to Disseminate Knowledge & Prevent Readmission
This project will test a mobile health application’s impact on reducing readmissions in patients with cirrhosis within 30 days of hospital discharge.
Treating Comorbid Depression During Care Transitions with Relational Agents
The project will develop an Internet-accessed relational agent system, a human animation program that interacts with patients and integrates best practices from provider-patient communication theory, to deliver depression treatment to patients with congestive heart failure or chronic pulmonary disease and comorbid depression. The care will be delivered immediately following hospital discharge to improve the safety of care transitions.
