Building of EMR tools to support quality and research in a memory disorders clinic.
This article describes the development of a customized EMR toolkit that standardizes patient data collection with hundreds of discrete fields, supports Best Practices for treating patients with memory disorders, and also supports practice-based research. The toolkit was successfully implemented to support Best Practices in the care of patients with memory disorders. Applications are also discussed. Data collection is ongoing, but the authors anticipate that the toolkit will generate data that allows for descriptive and hypothesis-driven research as well as quality improvement among patients seen in memory clinics.
