Measuring and Improving Ambulatory Patient Safety with an Electronic Dashboard
This project designed and pilot tested a dashboard that synthesizes patient data from a registry and found that it decreased the average monthly visit no-show rate.
Health Information Technology in Ambulatory Care Settings: Effects on Quality and Disparities
This project developed and implemented a large-scale approach to measuring the impact of health information technology on the quality and variability of care in ambulatory settings, and along racial and ethnic lines.
Best Practices For Integrating Clinical Decision Support Into Clinical Workflow
This project compared high and low intensity support for implementation of clinical decision support (CDS) and found that the low intensity support may be sufficient to help community health centers improve their use of CDS over a relatively short time period.
Leveraging Health Information Technology to Avoid Unnecessary Asymptomatic Carotid Revascularization
This project developed a decision making tool for patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis and concluded that it was feasible to implement in clinical practice.
The Impact of Health Information Technology on Demand for Inpatient Services - Final Report
Use of Push and Pull Health Information Exchange Technologies by Ambulatory Care Practices and the Impact on Potentially Avoidable Healthcare Utilization
This research demonstrated primary care providers’ complementary use of “push” and “pull” health information exchange technologies to meet their information needs and provides evidence that “pull” exchange reduces potentially avoidable healthcare utilization.
