The introduction of electronic medical records has created vast opportunities in relation to data storage, visibility and extraction. In Allied Health the collection, storage, display and reporting of service statistics is a key opportunity to utilise the capabilities of the electronic medical record to reduce clinician time completing data entry, improve accuracy and visibility of available data and maximise opportunities to view and utilise service statistic information in clinical and operational decision making. This case study describes service statistic capture and extraction for a speech pathology department, pre- and post- the introduction of a digital dashboard. A new Allied Health digital dashboard was created via clinicians and informaticians working collaboratively to define service delivery elements for data extraction and design dashboard functionality. Descriptive comparison of data capture pre- and post- dashboard implementation was undertaken. The integration of service statistic information into a digital dashboard was found to support service statistic reporting, improve ease of access, and provide greater visibility and timeliness of service information.

Background And Aims: Military veterans demonstrate high rates of heavy drinking and insomnia, but few if any studies have tested real-world, daily associations between sleep and alcohol use within this population. Moreover, although daily diary and experimental studies among civilians have found negative associations between alcohol use and sleep, these patterns change with consecutive days of drinking and may differ for those with insomnia. This study measured (a) acute and cumulative day-level associations between sleep and alcohol use among heavy-drinking US veterans and (b) the extent to which insomnia moderates these associations.
