The Implementation Science program at UCSF is offering a new course on Human-centered design for the Fall 2021 quarter. This hands-on, 10-week course will walk learners through design methods to solve real-world problems in public health and medicine. In addition, it will overlay implementation science approaches to show how the two disciplines complement one another. >>More Info

On July 9, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) announced the expanded set of data elements in the core data for interoperability. The journey to this landmark decision has been several years in the making, with CDHI championing the expansion of data elements since February 2018. These standards help to advance health data access and interoperability for patients, providers, and app developers using a standard application programming interface (API). New elements include information on all care team members, gender identity and sexual orientation, social determinants of health, and more. Click here to learn more about how UCSF and CDHI worked to advance this cause.

Telemedicine for Health Equity Toolkit |
|
With the rapid expansion of telemedicine in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring that remote care reaches diverse, low-income patients and promotes health equity, rather than exacerbating health disparities, is critical. Through a partnership between the Center for Care Innovations, UCSF’s Center for Vulnerable Populations (CVP), and the Commonwealth Fund, S.O.L.V.E. Health Tech developed a toolkit to provide background information as well as concrete guidance relevant to safety-net healthcare systems looking to initiate, expand, or improve their telemedicine programs. >>Read More

A Bundled Intervention to Improve Accessible Advance Care Planning |
|
Building on previous literature about the challenges of documentation and the importance of care continuity in advance care planning discussions in the hospital setting, UCSF Health adopted a centralized and easily accessible location within the EHR for all ACP activities – the Advance Care Planning Navigator. Michelle Mourad, Molly Cantor, and Robert Thombley deployed novel EHR based tools for ACP documentation and an initiative was launched to increase awareness and use of these tools along with the ACP Navigator to promote accessible ACP documentation. EHR audit log data was used to capture EHR users’ granular interactions within the medical record, and allowed us to measure Navigator access. The rates of ACP Navigator entry for those with ACP documentation did significantly increase during the intervention period for physicians and nurses, likely driven by increased visibility of documentation within the banner which allowed for direct access into the Navigator with a single click. >>Read More

UCSF Joins Forces with Philips to Enhance the Digital Patient Experience |
|
|
|
This past May, UCSF announced a partnership with Royal Philips to use the Philips HealthSuite Platform to develop technologies that use artificial intelligence. This will enable personalization, and make it easier for patients to navigate to specialty care providers, access their health information, and receive virtual care at home. It will also ease the burden of technology on care providers with intuitive workflows and real-time decision support. >>Read More
