This thesis addresses the question of how usable openEHR-aware clinical decision support can be designed and developed in order to improve the quality of health care. To answer this research question, several sub-questions were identified and investigated. This included analyzing state of the art in two different aspects of design and development a...

With an aging patient population and increasing complexity in patient disease trajectories, physicians are often met with complex patient histories from which clinical decisions must be made. Due to the increasing rate of adverse events and hospitals facing financial penalties for readmission, there has never been a greater need to enforce evidence...
Screening for risk of unintentional falls remains low in the primary care setting because of the time constraints of brief office visits. National studies suggest that physicians caring for older adults provide recommended fall risk screening only 30 to 37 percent of the time. Given prior success in developing methods for repurposing electronic hea...
Objective:
To develop an empirically derived taxonomy of clinical decision support (CDS) alert malfunctions.
Materials and methods:
We identified CDS alert malfunctions using a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods: (1) site visits with interviews of chief medical informatics officers, CDS developers, clinical leaders, and CDS end users; (...
In an actual electronic health record (EHR), patient notes are written with terse language and clinical jargons. However, most Pseudo Relevance Feedback (PRF) technique methods do not take into account the significant degree of candidate term in feedback documents and the co-occurrence relationship between a candidate term and a query term simultan...
Rationale:
The nature, variability and extent of early warning clinical practice alerts derived from automated query of electronic health records (e-alerts) currently employed in acute care settings for clinical care or research is unknown.
Objectives:
To describe e-alerts in current use in acute care settings at medical centers participating in...
