Evaluation of the implementation of an electronic medical record.

University of Minnesota Physicians, the faculty clinical practice organization of the Medical School, is implementing an Electronic Medical Record (EMR). During this process, we anticipated the need for an evaluative study of the implementation to examine process and satisfaction. This was in order to monitor the ability of the physicians to use the EMR effectively. The use of these data to evaluate the implementation and user-acceptance of change of process presents a unique research opportunity. The study of the impact of the EMR implementation on patient care, education, and other issues of academic interest make this research study valuable.

Using Web technologies for implementing testing strategies.

Although the application of Web technologies to laboratory services is relatively new, it is evolving rapidly and presents both promises and challenges to those adopting it for test strategy deployment. Its application can be helpful in disseminating information about a testing strategy once it is formulated, but it's more important potential contribution is in facilitating clinicians' use of the strategy. There is an array of ways Web technologies can be used to facilitate both the initiation of a strategy at the point of order entry and ensuring optimal use of the laboratory results that emanate from a testing strategy. Web technologies present a rich set of tools for those dedicated to enhancing the value of the laboratory's contribution to patient care.
