Development of a Clinical Decision Support Tool for Facilitating Naturalistic Decision-Making and Improving Blood Culture Utilization
This project will develop and evaluate an electronic health record-embedded clinical decision support tool that draws upon the strength of analytical and naturalistic decision-making to optimize the use of blood cultures in critically ill children.
The Effect of Health Information Technology on Health Care Provider Communication
The purpose of this study is to describe how communication technologies make it easier or more difficult for nurses and physicians to communicate with each other, with a goal of finding ways to support effective communication.
Development and Evaluation of Sociotechnical Metrics To Inform Health IT Adaptation
This project will study health information technology adaptation using sociotechnical theory.

This project will identify patients’ needs, preferences, and responses when receiving abnormal test result notifications through an electronic patient portal.
Enhancing Providers' Ability to Followup on Abnormal Test Results
The overall goal of this project is to assess provider mental workload and performance during abnormal test results workflows within an electronic health record environment.
Care Transitions and Teamwork in Pediatric Trauma: Implications for Health Information Technology Design
This project seeks to develop an understanding of the cognitive work of clinician teams and family members involved in pediatric trauma care transitions in order to design usable and useful health information technologies.
Collaborative Patient Portals: Computer-based Agents and Patients: Understanding
This project will use computer-based agents to improve older adult understanding and use of information provided through patient portals.
Minimizing Stress, Maximizing Success of Physician's Use of Health Information
The goal of this project is to define and promote strategies that mitigate the stress associated with clinician use of health information and communications technologies.
Understanding How Social Influence and Social Networks Affect Electronic Medical Record Implementation
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.
Health Information Technology-Supported Process for Preventing and Managing Venous Thromboembolism
