With The Doctors Company analysis of claims showing increased association with EHR issues, how can we identify these issues on the frontline? Medical HumanFactors’s Katie Adams presents on an AHRQ sponsored NLP algo to identify HIT events from safety report data. HFES HCTG #HFES2019

Can we predict EM physician CPOE errors with interaction data? Swami presents an analysis done with Medical HumanFactors & zach hettinger...the short answer is YES. Random forest preformed best with AUC =.89 and top factors were time on task and # of clicks. #HFES2019 HFES HCTG

How do we create effective CDS for #sepsis? Medical HumanFactors’s Laura Schubel presents on @nlm_news funded research (PI Kristen Miller) to develop new visual CDS and usability methods to evaluate efficiency, satisfaction, and safety. #HFES2019 HFES HCTG

Ding dong the “gag clauses” are dead! Great work @ONC_HealthIT & other stakeholders that helped push this through. It took ~10 years & required media attention from Darius Tahir and others to get it done. Now we have to create the safety reporting program to collect these images

In 2012, supported by @ONC_HealthIT funding, Rollin J (Terry) Fairbanks, zach hettinger, & I visited 11 different #EHR vendors & identified generally subpar usability processes. Since that time vendor processes have improved. So why hasn’t EHR usability improved overall? Read why here:
