Learning From Primary Care EHR Exemplars About Health IT Safety
This project will identify pragmatic approaches to the safe use of electronic health records in primary care, developing a taxonomy of key strategies and best practices around safe use.
Reducing Hospital Readmission Rates by Implementing an Inpatient Tobacco Cessation Service Driven by Interactive-Voice Recognition Technology
This study will examine trends in readmission rates before and after implementation of a smoking cessation program, testing the hypothesis that the program will reduce unplanned hospital readmissions and costs.
Learning from Primary Care Meaningful Use Exemplars
This project will propose strategies to facilitate the development of Stage 3 Meaningful Use quality measure objectives, and provide practice suggestions to increase the likelihood that they will improve the quality of delivered care.
Research Centers in Primary Care Practice Based Research and Learning
This project is intended to further develop the infrastructure of the PPRNet and enhance its ability to conduct research to improve the primary health care system.
Synthesizing Lessons Learned Using Health Information Technology
This project synthesized what was learned from the Practice Partner Research Network - Translating Research into Practice (PPRNet-TRIP) project regarding how to use health information technology to improve quality in primary care practices.
Assessment of Pediatric Look-Alike, Sound-Alike Substitution Errors
This project evaluated the potential severity of specific look-alike, sound-alike drug name substitution errors in a pediatric population and estimated the frequencies of potential look-alike, sound-alike (LASA) substitution errors.
Medication Safety in Primary Care Practice - Translating Research into Practice
The project successfully developed a set of medication safety measures relevant for primary care and incorporated these measures in quarterly performance reports sent to participating practices.
Implementation and Evaluation of Standing Orders Using Health Information Technology
This project implemented and examined the effectiveness of an electronic standing order process.
