Kaiser Permanente Northwest (KPNW) has used HealthConnect, the internal branding for the EMR EpicCare (Epic Systems Corporation, Madison, WI) since 1992. The goal of this study was to determine the factors that influence the usage and effectiveness of tools that HealthConnect has to offer to clinicians. Two focus groups from KPNW consisting of 19 departmental leaders and 11 clinical content experts were interviewed. All participants had worked at Kaiser Permanente for at least 10 years and felt comfortable using computers. 000000349 540__ $$fCC BY 000000349 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000349 650__ $$aFocus Groups$$029719 000000349 650__ $$aComputers$$016992 000000349 650__ $$aSoftware$$026159 000000349 650__ $$aQuality of Health Care$$025031 000000349 650__ $$aMedical Errors$$031516 000000349 650__ $$aElectronic Health Records$$038928 000000349 650__ $$aMedical Records Systems, Computerized$$029086 000000349 651__ $$aNorthwestern United States$$041197 000000349 6531_ $$aepiccare 000000349 6531_ $$aclinical content 000000349 6531_ $$aepic 000000349 6531_ $$akaiser 000000349 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000349 692__ $$aDepartment of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology$$041422 000000349 7001_ $$aChavoshian, Farhad$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000349 7201_ $$aYackel, Thomas$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000000349 8564_ $$9e4073590-1938-465f-8449-82424c6587ef$$s78237$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/349/files/350_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$253c5f45ff386d45d6cb69a2a9f45c48e$$31 000000349 905__ $$a/rest/prod/34/84/zg/93/3484zg93g 000000349 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:349$$pstudent-work 000000349 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000000349 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
