Studies

Assessing the Long-term Impact of COVID-induced Telemedicine Expansion on Dementia Care

The major goal of this project is to generate robust evidence on the impact of the COVID-induced shift to telemedicine on dementia care. Specifically, during the COVID-19 pandemic, we seek to characterize disparities in use of ambulatory telemedicine for persons with dementia, assess the impact of telemedicine on diagnosis and outcomes for persons with dementia during, and characterize clinician and caregiver experience with ambulatory telemedicine.

Post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) in adult KPNC members

This study will establish a cohort of adult KPNC members with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection and identify those with a confirmed diagnosis of post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection to examine predictors, clinical care characteristics, and associated diagnostic and specialty care utilization.

Patient experiences with Value-Based Insurance Designs (VBID) in Kaiser Permanente: Plan Knowledge and Medication Behavior

The study will examine patient knowledge and experience in a Value-based insurance designs plan by surveying 1,000 patients newly enrolling in a VBID plan. The survey will collect patient knowledge of their plan, patient-reported medication behavior (including specific cost barriers to adherence and financial burden, and preferences for receiving additional education/nudges about medication costs and hypothetical behavior changes with free preventive medications.

Assessing and Optimizing the Impact of an Electronic Clinical Decision Support Tool for Chest Pain Risk Stratification in the Emergency Department STEWARD Project (Phase 3)

Conducted with co-investigator Dustin G. Mark, MD, this study helps emergency physicians with estimates of individual patient risk for patients with chest pain. The research team will evaluate impacts on guideline-supported acute coronary syndrome evaluations.

Interactive Personal Health Records: Use of a Web-Portal by Patients with Complex Chronic Conditions

Patient use of health IT tools to interact with healthcare providers and delivery systems, including exchanging secure messages with their medical providers and using other web-based tools, has great potential to increase patient access to care, change the way healthcare is delivered, and affect patient clinical outcomes. This study will examine the impact of implementation and use of consumer health IT tools on patient-reported access to care, utilization of medical care services, and clinical outcomes.

Impact of Integrated Patient-Facing Health IT Tools on Quality and Resource Use for Patients with Diabetes

This is a quasi-experimental study of the effect of Health IT use on the quality and efficiency of outpatient care for patients with multiple chronic diseases.
