His preliminary research suggested that physicians resisted EHR adoption because they felt it adversely affected workflow, communications among the health care team and ultimately patient care. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEHRs were originally designed, developed and optimized as a financial system and a way to document payment and services rendered,\u201d said Dr. Windle, principal investigator of the grant. \u201cBut the EHR really has never been designed or developed for the people using it to take care of patients. We\u2019ve been adversely affected by it because of how we take care of patients. It slowed us down. It was a barrier to communication.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The project is a partnership between UNMC and the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Ann Fruhling, Ph.D., director of the Interdisciplinary Informatics School at UNO, is co-principal investigator of the grant and will lend her expertise in human-computer interactions to build models of the optimized EHR.<\/p>\n<p>The study will involve measuring how cardiologists at diverse health care systems use their EHRs. Sites are: Duke Medical Center in Durham, N.C.; Christiana Health, a large multi-center hospital system in Delaware; Parkview Health, a community-based hospital system in Ft. Wayne, Ind.; and Faith Regional Health Services in Norfolk, Neb.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of the first year, Dr. Windle said the research team expects to be able to identify four or five best practices on how to improve efficiency, effectiveness and safety of the EHRs. While focused on cardiovascular patients, the results, which will translate across the health professions, will be shared with vendors of EHRs. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is potential for the EHR to do good things,\u201d Dr. Windle said. \u201cI think the impact of this small grant is going to ripple. We\u2019re just learning how to appropriately use this very powerful technology.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNMC, UNO will collaborate to explore a model
