Improving the quality of care of patients with rheumatic disease using patient-centric electronic redesign software.
To improve the quality of care for patients with rheumatic disease, the researchers developed electronic data capture, aggregation, display, and documentation software. They found that their software was adopted for use by 86% of patients and rheumatologists. They concluded that the software was well-adopted by patients and providers. Post-implementation, significant improvements in quality of care, efficiency of care, and productivity were demonstrated.
