Longitudinal Analysis of Codes to Identify Diagnostic Opportunities (LUCID)
Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation 9903Dec 1, 2020 - May 31, 2022
Role: PI
Description: We are applying several techniques to analyze patients' diagnostic codes over time related to three conditions at risk for diagnostic-related harm (venous thromboembolism, colorectal cancer and spinal abscess). Our goal is to develop methods to better identify cases with diagnostic opportunities. Our proposed measure is the proportion of these cases that undergo a structured diagnostic case review to learn from these opportunities at the organizational level.

Post-Handoff Report of Outcomes 2 (PHAROS2)
Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation 6474Nov 8, 2017 - Nov 7, 2019
Role: PI
Description: Through a mixed-methods evaluation, our team aims to identify the most effective means of providing post-handoff feedback of patient outcomes to providers. We will iteratively improve the design of a system to provide this feedback and will disseminate its use.

Altmetrics Details

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
