Clinical Decision Support for Opiate Use Disorders in Medical Settings: Pilot Usability Testing in an EMR (COMPUTE) (Rossom)
Source: Minneapolis Medical Research Foundation (MMRF)
Role: Co-Investigator 04/01/2017-03/31/2019
Currently, providers lack real-time on-site clinical decision support (CDS) tools that can facilitate the identification, assessment, and treatment of patients with opiate use disorder (OUD) during a patient encounter. The NIDA CTN Blending Initiative has developed an expert panel framework of an OUD CDS. The framework has been previewed to by primary care providers and at the 2015 INEBRIA conference. It is felt that any further refinements needed are best identified through piloting so that provider acceptance and feasibility of use, including (e.g., workflow issues,) can be determined. This would be the first attempt to develop and test the feasibility and acceptance of an EMR-based CDS for OUD. Assessing the acceptability and feasibility of using CDS for OUD identification, assessment, and treatment within the primary care setting and comparing this to OUD identification, assessment, and treatment for providers without the CDS will allow for further refinement before the CDS is deployed across multiple sites across the CTN for larger studies of treatment outcome and guideline adherence.
Pragmatic Trial Comparing Telehealth Care and Clinic-based Care for Uncontrolled High Blood Pressure (Hyperlink-3) (Margolis)
Source: PCORI
Role: Co-Investigator 01/01/2016-05/31/2021
The study will compare two approaches to redesign care to help patients with uncontrolled hypertension lower their BP and risk of a future heart attack or stroke. The clinic-based care approach will use recommended best practices in 10 clinics and 1000 patients. It relies primarily on the physician-medical assistant dyad and face-to-face visits. The telehealth care approach will adapt and implement a successful research-tested model in 10 clinics and 1000 patients. It differs from clinic-based care through the systematic use of home BP telemonitoring and home-based telehealth care coordinated by a pharmacist or nurse practitioner (NP).
Implementing Cancer Prevention Using Patient - Provider Clinical Decision Support (Elliott)
Source: NCI/R01CA193396
Role: Co-Investigator 03/24/2016-02/28/2021
In this project, we will adapt, implement, and evaluate a proven EHR-linked, Web-based, personalized CDS system to identify patients needing primary and/or secondary cancer prevention care. The objectives are to improve the quality and consistency of primary and secondary prevention of common cancers in rural areas by providing patient-centered and evidence-based treatment recommendations to both primary care provider teams and patients at the point of care and provide an efficient and effective model for implementation and dissemination of cancer prevention in rural settings.

This trial will adapt a point-of-care EMR-based CDS system to identify patients with prediabetes and provide prioritized treatment recommendations to patients and providers in a rural health system. The results of the project will provide a template for implementation of more efficient and effective healthcare and have the potential to improve CV quality of care and clinical outcomes of millions of rural Americans.

Prioritized Clinical Decision Support to Reduce Cardiovascular Risk (O’Connor)

Role on the Project: Co-Investigator 04/01/2010—03/31/2015 Total: $ 3,822,623
The objective is to develop and implement point-of-care EHR-based clinical decision support that identifies and prioritizes all available evidence-based treatment options to reduce a patient’s cardiovascular risk (CVR). After developing the EHR-based decision support intervention, we will test its impact on CVR, the components of CVR, in a group randomized trial. This approach, if successful, will improve chronic disease outcomes and reduce CVR for about 35% of the U.S. adult population, maximize the clinical return on the massive investments that are increasingly being made in outpatient EHR systems, and provide a model for how to use EHR technology support to deliver “personalized medicine” in primary care settings.

Developing Treatment Policies for Complex Patients Using Modeling and Data Mining (Johnson)
Source: AHRQ/1R21HS01762201 Directs: $39,256
Role: Co-Investigator 8/8/2008-7/31/2010
Patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus are at higher risk for cardiovascular events compared with healthy patients. These risks are compounded for patients with complex conditions (for example, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and hypertension in the type 2 diabetes patient). The research proposed here uses computational modeling and data mining technologies to discover and develop treatment policies that can be used to reduce risk of cardiovascular events in complex diabetic patients.

Role: Principal Investigator 12/1/2008-11/30/2012
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of sitagliptin exposure upon cardiovascular events for people with Type 2 Diabetes and heart disease. The primary objective will be to compare the impact of adding Sitagliptin to usual care vs. usual care without Sitagliptin upon a composite of cardiovascular endpoints.
Thiazolidinedione Intervention with Vitamin D Evaluation (TIDE): A Multicenter Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial of a Thiazolidinedione (TZD) or Placebo and of Vitamin D or Placebo in People with Type 2 Diabetes at Risk for Cardiovascular Disease (Sperl-Hillen)
Source: GlaxoSmithKline Total: $675,000
Role: Principal Investigator 10/1/2009-8/31/2015

In additon, the effects of these study drugs, both good and bad, on the chance of heart attacks, stroke and death will be studied. It will also compare adding vitamin 0 versus a placebo to see if vitamin 0 can reduce the number of deaths or cancers requiring hospitalization, chemotherapy or surgery.
