Principal Investigator, Michelle Kelly, MD, MPH, associate professor, Hospital Medicine, along with Co-Investigators Peter Hoonakker, PhD, distinguished senior scientist, Center for Quality and Productivity Improvement, and Catherine Smith, PhD, professor, The Information School, were recently awarded $292,973 from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Their two-year project, “Getting on the same page: Leveraging an inpatient portal to engage families of hospitalized children”, aims to extend and broaden the evaluation and reach of the intervention, BedsideNotes. The goal is to pilot test the intervention with families of children admitted to different inpatient services with higher acuity and more complex care, including intensive care and subspecialty services.
