The Effect of Interoperable Health IT on Efficiency in Ambulatory Practices

Completed

Conditions studied: Operations Research Workflow

In brief

Goal: To evaluate the effects of Interoperable Health IT on provider work flow and work practices in the ambulatory care setting. Interoperable health IT can produce a reduction of barriers in the exchange of health information that can allow for more efficient, timely, and a higher quality of patient care. This study seeks to evaluate the effects of the implementation of interoperable health IT on the work flow of medical providers in the care environments in which they are implemented.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Our population will include all of the providers and office workers within the ambulatory care settings that have implemented the interoperable IT programs, and are required to utilize the systems for their daily job functions. Our research population will not include patients, as the participants of our study are the health care workers.

You may not qualify if…

• Our population will be "all inclusive" of all office staff and providers that are required to utilize the systems in place in order to perform their day-to-day functions. There will be no exclusions except for those under 18 years of age, and non English speakers (neither of which are expected to be in the eligible population).
