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.
Objectives: To create and evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of a clinical decision support (CDS) tool within the electronic health record (EHR) to help pediatricians provide smoking cessation counseling and treatment to parents of hospitalized children exposed to secondhand smoke (SHS).
Methods: Mixed method study of first-year pediatric residents on one inpatient unit. Residents received training in smoking cessation counseling, nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) prescribing, and use of a CDS tool to aid in this process.
Safety of Automatic End Dates for Antimicrobial Orders to Facilitate Stewardship.

August 2016
Article Synopsis
- A large children's hospital implemented automatic end dates for antimicrobial orders to improve antimicrobial stewardship.
- The study found no significant changes in patient outcomes, including mortality, length of stay, or readmission rates.
- This conclusion held true even for patients who had documented bacteremia, suggesting the intervention didn't impact their recovery.
Objective: To develop and evaluate an electronic dashboard of hospital-wide electronic health record medication alerts for an alert fatigue reduction quality improvement project.
Methods: We used visual analytics software to develop the dashboard. We collaborated with the hospital-wide Clinical Decision Support committee to perform three interventions successively deactivating clinically irrelevant drug-drug interaction (DDI) alert rules.
