Evaluation of AHRQ's on-time pressure ulcer prevention program: a facilitator-assisted clinical decision support intervention for nursing homes.
The researchers evaluated the effectiveness of the On-Time Quality Improvement for Long Term Care (On-Time) program in reducing the rate of in-house-acquired pressure ulcers among nursing home residents. They found that On-Time implementation is associated with sizable reductions in pressure ulcer incidence.

Effect of electronic prescribing with formulary decision support on medication tier, copayments, and adherence.
The researchers evaluated whether formulary decision support (FDS) could reduce patient medication costs, and thereby improve adherence. In the studied population, interruptive FDS shifted prescribing toward preferred tier medications, but these medications were only minimally less expensive for patients. Thus, FDS did not significantly increase adherence.

HIE-i-health information exchange with intelligence.
This article reports on the development and pilot testing of an innovative approach to implement health information exchange with intelligence (HIE-i) in primary care settings. Records of 346 patients were studied in 6 primary care practices. The results suggest that coupling a geographically inclusive set of clinical data with HIE-based clinical decision support for prevention can considerably improve prospective care delivery.

Understanding the acceptability of a computer decision support system in pediatric primary care.
In this study, the investigators examine the attitudes and opinions of pediatric users' toward the Child Health Improvement through Computer Automation (CHICA) system, a computer decision support system linked to an electronic health record in four community pediatric clinics. The investigators found that pediatric users appreciated the system's automation and enhancements that allowed relevant and meaningful clinical data to be accessible at point of care.
