TeamWISE: TeamWork in Systems Excellence
Building capabilities to use EHR audit logs and metadata to optimize technology-supported teaming practices
We harness data on how the Electronic Health Record (EHR) is used by providers and staff at M Health Fairview, including the timing, sequencing, and intensity of actions and clinical workflows. This information enables us to reconstruct, analyze, and address substantial variation in care team structures and practices, leading to better workflows and patient care.
Our current projects are aimed at identifying, characterizing, and optimizing:
- Supervisory teamwork of attending physicians in the clinical learning environment
- Consequences of interdependent behaviors during patient handoffs
- Efficiencies in discharge planning timing and workflows
- Complexity of team coordination with long-term stay, critically ill pediatric patients
