This study examined clinical decision task complexity to guide the design of innovative clinical decision support to for high-level reasoning in complex decision tasks.
This research studied the barriers and usability of electronic and personal health records, developed a framework of best practices for design, and validated that framework with functional prototypes.
In this study, researchers created new electronic health record-based decision support tools that guide clinicians’ perceptions and judgments of noncancer pain in ways that lead to increased use of guideline-based patient assessment and treatment of pain.
This project assessed provider mental workload and performance while processing electronic abnormal test results and found that a test result tracking mechanism improved physicians’ clinical performance.
Analysis of 5,200 patient safety event reports showed an association between electronic health record (EHR) usability and patient safety in both adults and children and led to development of an EHR usability and safety assessment tool that healthcare facilities can use to identify usability and safety issues.
The Workshop on Interactive Systems in Healthcare 2013: Bridging Communities was a 1-day, in-person event designed to foster conversation and bridge communities, and included experts in biomedical informatics, nursing informatics, medical sociology, human–computer interaction, and other related fields.
This project will study the impact of design on providers’ interactions with the electronic health record and identify strategies to enhance design to improve patient safety.
The research team designed and tested a data visualization tool of both home- and clinic-derived blood pressure data to aid patients and physicians to better understand hypertension control and inform shared treatment decisions.
This research developed an electronic health record prototype with a variety of functionalities focused on goal-directed work such as schedule coordination, task assignment, and information sharing to improve cognitive support among primary care providers.
The investigators used a mixed-methods approach to incorporate quantitative and qualitative research in developing and validating a health IT adaptation survey.
