Clinical decision support with a comprehensive in-EHR patient tracking system improves genetic testing follow up.

Objective: We sought to develop and evaluate an electronic health record (EHR) genetic testing tracking system to address the barriers and limitations of existing spreadsheet-based workarounds.

Materials And Methods: We evaluated the spreadsheet-based system using mixed effects logistic regression to identify factors associated with delayed follow up. These factors informed the design of an EHR-integrated genetic testing tracking system.

Implementation of a Clinical Decision Support (CDS) Tool for the Management of Functional Constipation in Pediatric Primary Care.

Constipation is common in general pediatrics and often results in potentially unnecessary referrals to pediatric gastroenterology. We hypothesized that a clinical decision-making tool would support primary care providers to manage pediatric constipation, improve workflow, and prevent unnecessary subspecialty care. In this pilot quality improvement initiative, a multidisciplinary team completed a root cause analysis related to challenges with the care of pediatric constipation.

The Effect of Electronic Health Record Burden on Pediatricians' Work-Life Balance and Career Satisfaction.

Objectives: To examine pediatricians' perspectives on administrative tasks including electronic health record (EHR) documentation burden and their effect on work-life balance and life and career satisfaction.

Methods: We analyzed 2018 survey data from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Pediatrician Life and Career Experience Study (PLACES), a longitudinal cohort study of early and midcareer pediatricians. Cohorts graduated from residency between 2002 and 2004 or 2009 and 2011.

Measuring success: perspectives from three optimization programs on assessing impact in the age of burnout.

Electronic health record (EHR) optimization has been identified as a best practice to reduce burnout and improve user satisfaction; however, measuring success can be challenging. The goal of this manuscript is to describe the limitations of measuring optimizations and opportunities to combine assessments for a more comprehensive evaluation of optimization outcomes. The authors review lessons from 3 U.

Reducing electronic health record-related burnout in providers through a personalized efficiency improvement program.

Objective: To give providers a better understanding of how to use the electronic health record (EHR), improve efficiency, and reduce burnout.

Materials And Methods: All ambulatory providers were offered at least 1 one-on-one session with an "optimizer" focusing on filling gaps in EHR knowledge and lack of customization. Success was measured using pre- and post-surveys that consisted of validated tools and homegrown questions.
