AcademyHealth Electronic Data Methods Forum (EDM) for Comparative Effectiveness Research
The Electronic Data Methods Forum is charged with advancing the national dialogue on the infrastructure and methods of health research and quality improvement using electronic clinical data, with the goal of improving patient care and outcomes.
AcademyHealth Electronic Data Methods (EDM) Forum Second Phase
The Electronic Data Methods (EDM) Forum facilitates learning and collaboration among researchers and other key stakeholders who are generating the data, methods, and the knowledge needed to build learning health systems that will improve patient care and outcomes.
Care Coordination Enabled by Health Information Technology: What Will It Take?
This project assessed the feasibility and measurability care coordination activities and found that the electronic health record was infrequently used to support care coordination.
Symposium on Patient Engagement
This project held a consensus conference in November 2012 to discuss nurse’s roles in supporting patient engagement and to develop a strategic plan to enhance nurses’ abilities to engage and support patients in this area.
Telemonitoring in Rural Elder Nutrition Centers: Demonstration Project of Hypertension Management
This project, the Technologies for Enhancing Access to Health Management (TEAhM) project, was a pilot study which implemented and evaluated telehealth kiosks in community-based senior centers.
A Research Agenda for the Patient-Centered Medical Home
The Research Agenda for a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) conference convened a multidisciplinary group to discuss the research agenda needed to move PCMH from a demonstration model to an evidenced-based standard of care.
Human Factors in Home Health Care
This project conducted research on the role of human factors in the provision of health care in the home.
Structuring Care Recommendations for Clinical Decision Support
This project developed a process for translating narrative, unstructured, evidence-based clinical recommendations and performance measures into a structured, coded format that can be implemented into health information technology systems.
Effective Use of e-Prescribing in Physician Practices and Pharmacies
In this project, the Center for Studying Health System Change conducted research exploring the effective use of electronic prescribing (e-prescribing) in physician practices and pharmacies.
Health Information Technology Enablement of Quality Measurement: Health Information Technology Expert Panel
In this project, the National Quality Forum reconvened the Health Information Technology Expert Panel (HITEP-II) to gather, synthesize, and refine clinical workflow maps, focusing on care processes related to the previously prioritized set of measures.
