Children's EHR Format Enhancement
This project enhanced the Children’s Electronic Health Record Format (Format) by identifying a high priority set of 47 functional requirements from the initial larger set, and creating a list of 16 recommended uses of the Format along with implementation notes.
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.
Anesthesiology Control Tower: Feedback Alerts to Supplement Treatment (ACTFAST)
The goal of this project is to develop and evaluate an air traffic control-like command center for operating rooms.
Improving Diagnosis of Cardiovascular Disease in the Emergency Department Using Cognitive Informatics Tools
This project will develop a patient-based dashboard to improve cognitive hygiene in the emergency department, aiding in the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome.
Understanding Primary Care Teamwork in Context: Implications for Health Information Technology Design
This project will inform the design of electronic health records to support the cognitive work of primary care clinicians and teams.
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.
Portals in Inpatient Care: Evaluating the Usability, Use, and Patient Experience Associated With Patient Portal Technology at the Bedside
Portals in Inpatient Care will examine the role that inpatient portals can play to transform the way care is delivered. Results will help providers and health systems integrate patient portals into practice and, ultimately, improve care quality.
Individualized Drug Interaction Alerts
This project will develop a knowledgebase and computer rules to provide patient-tailored relevant warnings about drug-drug interactions.
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.
Finding the Safer Way: Novel Interaction Design Approaches to Health IT Safety
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.
