Electronic health record challenges, workarounds, and solutions observed in practices integrating behavioral health and primary care.
This article describes the electronic health record (EHR)-related experiences of practices striving to integrate behavioral health and primary care using tailored, evidenced-based strategies from 2012 to 2014; and the challenges, workarounds and initial health information technology (HIT) solutions that emerged during implementation. The researchers found that as practices gained experience with integration, they began to move beyond workarounds to more permanent HIT solutions.

Planning for action: the impact of an asthma action plan decision support tool integrated into an electronic health record (EHR) at a large health care system.
This project aimed to embed an electronic asthma action plan decision support tool (eAAP) into the medical record to streamline evidence-based guidelines for providers at the point of care, create individualized patient handouts, and evaluate effects on disease outcomes. Its findings supports existing evidence that patient self-management plays an important role in reducing asthma exacerbations.

Health Information Technology Evaluation Framework (HITREF) comprehensiveness as assessed in electronic point-of-care documentation systems evaluations.
The authors assessed the Health Information Technology (HIT) Reference-based Evaluation Framework (HITREF) comprehensiveness in two HIT evaluations in settings different from that in which the HITREF was developed. They found that no new components emerged that were missing from the HITREF. They recommended the HITREF as a comprehensive, research-based HIT evaluation framework to increase the capacity of informatics evaluators' use of best practice and evidence-based practice to support the credibility of their findings for fulfilling the purpose of program evaluation.
