We have begun work on our recently awarded grant from the National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute in partnership with the University of Michigan Health System Department of Family Medicine.
In this six month project we will be:
1. Investigating how, in existing implementations, Cielo Clinic impacts prevention and chronic disease care by examining changes in care delivery and clinical workflow, documenting the impact on patient, clinician and office staff satisfaction, gathering feedback from current end-users and researching current and future needs with regards to clinical quality improvement in primary and ambulatory care.
2. Designing a prototype of a next-generation clinical quality management system that is affordable and adoptable, built upon the principles of Cielo Clinic and tracks and manages activities and outcomes at all stages including screening, prevention, diagnosis and treatment, involving all care delivery participants, including patients and non-office care-givers, and delivers proactive prompts and reminders to clinicians regarding required services.
This is a very significant R&D opportunity for Cielo that will result in a state-of-the-art system that takes clinical quality management to a new level.
