Highlights Managing Personal Health Information
Managing Personal Health Information: An Action Agenda (PDF, 828KB) provides a framework for studying personal health information management and patient-centered health IT to advance research, implementation, and policy development in this field through specific recommendations and an action agenda. These recommendations will be useful for health IT researchers, industry, and policymakers. Clinical Decision Support Challenges and Barriers
A new report examines the challenges and barriers to implementing clinical decision support (CDS) and found workflow, design and clinician's level of support are just some of the issues that can affect successful CDS implementation. Challenges and Barriers to Clinical Decision Support (CDS) Implementation (PDF, 254 Kb) describes the challenges and barriers that AHRQ contractors encountered as part of their CDS demonstration project. These challenges and barriers can be successfully addressed by employing several key strategies, which include utilizing standard data exchange formats, providing clinicians with appropriate training, and modifying CDS to address clinicians' needs. Featured Tools
New AHRQ-Funded Reports on the Usability of Electronic Health Record (EHR) Systems To explore the opportunity to improve EHR system usability, AHRQ commissioned the creation of two reports that synthesize the existing research and evidence in this area and suggest common methods to evaluate EHR usability going forward.
Electronic Health Record Usability: Evaluation and Use Case Framework synthesizes the literature and best practices regarding the usability of EHRs, and it provides a set of use cases to evaluate information design in primary care IT systems. Electronic Health Record Usability: Interface Design Considerations provides recommended actions to support the development of an objective EHR usability evidence base and formative policies to systematically improve the usability of EHR systems.
