This study looked at patients at high risk for cardiovascular disease who would benefit from treatment intensification.
Utilized existing health IT standards to integrate the current stand-alone databases and information systems of a consortium of three rural health care systems as the basis for creating a comprehensive electronic health record for patient care.
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.
Demonstrated the value of health IT in improving quality of inpatient care for community-acquired pneumonia and emergency care of acute myocardial infarctions in rural hospitals.
This study developed electronic medical record-based quality indices for eleven cardiovascular primary care services. It related physicians’ prior index scores to subsequent disease incidence and to care utilization in their patients.
An asthma outcomes workshop was held in order to establish standards and identity outcomes measures for asthma clinical research.
The AMIA Health Policy Invitational Meetings address cutting edge and complex topics at the intersection of health care and informatics with the goal to identify challenges with current policies, make recommendations for future policies, and identify research needs for advancing the topic of focus.
This project identified trends and research priorities to inform the future of health information technology research.
The objectives of the 2015 and 2016 AMIA Policy Invitational meetings are to develop consensus recommendations on policy to improve health information technology for patient care, facilitate research, and manage the health of populations.
