Quantifying Efficiencies Gained through Shareable Clinical Decision Support Resources
This research will evaluate the lifecycle of clinical decision support (CDS), as currently implemented at most health systems, against a future CDS state that incorporates the use of shareable CDS resources created using the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s CDS Connect tools.
TREAT ECARDS: Translating Evidence into Action: Electronic Clinical Decision Support in ARDS
This project will develop and evaluate an electronic clinical decision support tool for care of patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
Exploring the Utilization of and Outcomes from Health Information Exchange in Emergency Settings
This project will examine health information exchange (HIE) usage patterns, the barriers and facilitators of HIE use, and the impact of HIE use by emergency department clinicians.
Context is Critical: Understanding When and Why Electronic Health Record Related Safety Hazards Happen
This project will develop a method to use video captured electronic health record interactions to analyze the context around medication errors, identify design elements that contributed to the errors, and make design recommendations to mitigate those errors.
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 facilitated learning and collaboration among researchers and other key stakeholders who are generating the data, methods, and knowledge needed to build learning health systems that will improve patient care and outcomes.
Impact of Meaningful Use on Clinical Workflow in Emergency Departments
This project investigates how the Meaningful Use criteria affects the information seeking, team-interaction, and decisionmaking activities of emergency department clinicians at two urban hospitals.
Cognitive Engineering for Complex Decisionmaking & Problem Solving in Acute Care
This project will apply the science of human factors and cognitive engineering to the design of clinical decision support and information technology with the goal of improving patient safety.
Preventing Wrong-Drug and Wrong-Patient Errors With Indication Alerts in CPOE Systems
The project will develop and test a large set of alerts at two large health systems to demonstrate that alerts can help prevent wrong-drug and wrong-patient errors and improve the completeness of the problem list.
Natural Language Processing To Identify and Rank Clinically Relevant Information for EHRs in the Emergency Department
This project developed a natural language processing electronic health record search tool that automatically identifies and ranks relevant clinical information based on a patient’s presenting complaint within the emergency department setting.
