New name for “Informatics in Primary Care”; latest issue published

After 20 years as “Informatics in Primary Care”, the BCS Health’s house journal has been renamed “Journal of Innovation in Health Informatics”.

In a media release, BCS writes:

Informatics is an innovative science, and informaticians need to innovate across professional and discipline boundaries. The title was carefully selected to reflect that

(1) informatics provides the opportunity to innovate rather than simply automates;

(2) implementing informatics solutions often results in unintended consequences, and many implementations fail and benefits and innovations may go unrecognised;

(3) health informatics is a boundary spanning discipline and is by its very nature likely to give rise to innovation.

Professor Simon de Lusignan, University of Surrey, Guildford, United Kingdom remains the Editor-in-Chief (see http://hijournal.bcs.org/index.php/jhi/about/editorialTeam for full information). Simon explains the changes in an Editorial at http://hijournal.bcs.org/index.php/jhi/article/view/152

Identifying Consumer’s Needs of Health Information Technology through an Innovative Participatory Design Approach among English- and Spanish-speaking Urban Older Adults
Research Article

Appl Clin Inform 2014 5 4: 943-957    dx.doi.org/10.4338/ACI-2014-07-RA-0058
In this paper, the authors describe a process of eliciting the perspectives of older adults on their needs for health information technology services. The findings supported the development of a fall prevention system that was responsive to patients needs.

User-Centered Design and Usability Testing of an Innovative Health-Related Quality of Life Module
Research Article
Z. J. Nagykaldi (1), M. Jordan (2), J. Quitoriano (2), C. A. Ciro (3), J. W. Mold (1)
(1) University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Department of Family and Preventive Medicine; (2) University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, School of Medicine; (3) University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Department of Rehabilitation Sciences
Appl Clin Inform 2014 5 4: 958-970    dx.doi.org/10.4338/ACI-2014-08-RA-0067
Capturing health-related quality of life related to patient goals and needs will help providers tailor care to patient needs. However, systems for doing this are rare. In this paper, the authors describe the development and testing of a HRQoL module that is patient goal oriented and highlighted areas for improvement, such as action-oriented recommendations for clinicians to facilitate shared decision-making.

Design Challenges for Electronic Medication Administration Record Systems in Residential Aged Care Facilities – A Formative Evaluation
Research Article
Supplementary Material
A. Tariq (1), E. Lehnbom (1), K. Oliver (1), A. Georgiou (1), C. Rowe ‎ (2), T. Osmond (2), J. Westbrook (1)
(1) Centre of Health Systems and Safety Research, Australian Institute of Health Innovation, Macquarie University, New South Wales, Australia; (2) UnitingCare Ageing, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Appl Clin Inform 2014 5 4: 971-987    dx.doi.org/10.4338/ACI-2014-08-RA-0062
Electronic medication administration records (eMAR) have been promoted as a way to improve medication safety in residential care facilities. This study evaluated an eMAR system being piloted in a residential care facility to identify areas for improvement. Their findings demonstrate that system interactivity, resolving inconsistencies in data entry, and dedicated organization support to minimize connectivity issues would provide immediate system improvements, while decision support and interoperability between stakeholder groups would have longer-term benefits.

Assessment of Readiness for Clinical Decision Support to Aid Laboratory Monitoring of Immunosuppressive Care at U.S. Liver Transplant Centers
Research Article
J. Jacobs (1), C. Weir (1), R. S. Evans (1, 2), C. Staes (1)
(1) Department of Biomedical Informatics, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA; (2) Medical Informatics, Intermountain Healthcare, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
Appl Clin Inform 2014 5 4: 988-1004    dx.doi.org/10.4338/ACI-2014-08-RA-0060
Liver-transplant recipients require life-long immunosuppressive cafre that can benefit from clinical decision support systems. However, it is unknown how ready liver transplant information systems are to implement CDS systems. This study examined current practices and identified barriers to CDS uptake. The findings demonstrate that though EHRs are widely used, the majority of sites still depend on paper-based manual monitoring of immunosuppression for patients.

Case Report: Patient Portal versus Telephone Recruitment for a Surgical Research Study
Case Report
R. B. Baucom (1), J. Ousley (2), B. K. Poulose (1), S. T. Rosenbloom (3, 4, 5), G. P. Jackson (1, 3, 5)
(1) Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Department of Surgery; (2) Meharry Medical College, School of Medicine; (3) Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Department of Biomedical Informatics; (4) Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Department of Internal Medicine; (5) Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Department of Pediatrics
Appl Clin Inform 2014 5 4: 1005-1014    dx.doi.org/10.4338/ACI-2014-07-CR-0059
Use of patient portals is increasing and research has demonstrated its value in primary care practice. However, little has been done to test the usability of a patient portal in a surgical or research recruitment setting. In this case study, the authors describe their experience using a patient portal to recruit surgical patients compared to a telephone-based recruitment process. Their findings demonstrate that patient portal recruitment is feasible and relatively effective compared to telephone-based recruitment.

User Centered Clinical Decision Support Tools  – Adoption across Clinician Training Level
Research Article
L. J. McCullagh (1), A. Sofianou (2), J. Kannry (2), D. M. Mann (3), T. G. McGinn (1)
(1) Department of Medicine, Division of Internal Medicine, Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine, Manhasset, NY; (2) Department of Medicine, Division of General Internal Medicine, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, NYC, NY; (3) Department of Medicine, Section of Preventive Medicine & Epidemiology, Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, MA
Appl Clin Inform 2014 5 4: 1015-1025    dx.doi.org/10.4338/ACI-2014-05-RA-0048
Clinical decision support tools are an important part of meaningful use, but it is not clear how accepted they are across different clinician training levels. In this paper, the authors examined CDS tool use and ordering practices in an academic medical center. Their findings suggest that first year residents were more likely to use the CDS tool and to follow recommended medication ordering as a result.

In order to conduct research and quality improvement, hospitals need excellent clinical and research data. In this paper, the authors describe installing a data management system throughout their hospital with an aim toward helping similar hospitals plan for their own data management system uptake. The findings suggest that installing the REDCap system was relatively inexpensive and was able to be completed by the staff already working at the hospital. Furthermore, the authors found that training for users helped with uptake and use of the system.
