Planned the implementation of an HIE using a secure fiber optic connection between community care providers to share patient demographic, medical records, laboratory results, and radiographic images.
This project developed and pilot-tested TJR App, a mobile application designed to help patients with osteoarthritis track their pain and activity, and found that app users were more likely to track symptoms consistently, when compared to non-users.
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.
This research worked with orthopedic surgeons and their patients on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and found that patients prefer simple tools around individualized goals; that text reminders improve response rates for PROMs; and that, while surgeons perceive that aggregate PROMs reports have value, provision of performance comparison reports did not improve outcomes over a 5-month period.
This research developed, tested, and evaluated visual presentations of patient-reported outcome (PRO) scores to facilitate the usability and understanding of PRO scores by patients and providers to improve shared decision making.
This research will validate a shared decision making tool integrated with patient-reported outcomes and clinical data from electronic health records for enabling decision support in patients with knee osteoarthritis considering total knee replacement.
