Comparison of clinical knowledge management capabilities of commercially-available and leading internally-developed electronic health records

BACKGROUND: We have carried out an extensive qualitative research program focused on the barriers and facilitators to successful adoption and use of various features of advanced, state-of-the-art electronic health records (EHRs) within large, academic, teaching facilities with long-standing EHR research and development programs. We have recently begun investigating smaller, community […]

The state of the art in clinical knowledge management: an inventory of tools and techniques

PURPOSE: To explore the need for, and use of, high-quality, collaborative, clinical knowledge management (CKM) tools and techniques to manage clinical decision support (CDS) content. METHODS: In order to better understand the current state of the art in CKM, we developed a survey of potential CKM tools and techniques. We […]

Clinical decision support capabilities of commercially-available clinical information systems

BACKGROUND: The most effective decision support systems are integrated with clinical information systems, such as inpatient and outpatient electronic health records (EHRs) and computerized provider order entry (CPOE) systems. Purpose The goal of this project was to describe and quantify the results of a study of decision support capabilities in […]

Creating and sharing clinical decision support content with Web 2.0: issues and examples

Clinical decision support is a powerful tool for improving healthcare quality and patient safety. However, developing a comprehensive package of decision support interventions is costly and difficult. If used well, Web 2.0 methods may make it easier and less costly to develop decision support. Web 2.0 is characterized by online […]

Citations Statistics of Biomedical Informatics Researchers

We developed the Biomedical Informatics Researchers ranking website to overcome many of the limitations of previous scientific productivity ranking strategies. The ranking website is composed of four key components that work together to create the automatically updating citation statistics website: 1) list of biomedical informatics researchers, 2) Google Scholar scraper, […]
