AMA Names 9 Organizations for EHR Research Grant Program

What You Should Know: 

  • The American Medical Association (AMA) announced today nine organizations selected as recipients of the 2023 Electronic Health Record Use Research Grant Program. 
  • This year’s grant recipients will divide $589k to fund research examining patterns of EHR use to inform solutions that prevent clinician burnout and turnover, enhance high-quality patient care, and improve workflows, teamwork, and resource allocation at the practice level.

Electronic Health Record Use Research Grant Program

Since 2019, the AMA has invested more than $2 million in research grants through the Electronic Health Record (EHR) Use Research Grant program. In 2023, the funded studies aim to provide insights into the relationships between EHR use and physician cognitive load, as well as the relationships between EHR use and team structures and care team processes. The nine organizations selected for research grants are:

  • AllianceChicago will use EHR event log data to explore both the prevalence and the facilitators of relational continuity among patients, physicians, and care teams in primary care.
  • Brigham and Women’s Hospital will investigate factors that influence the amount of time spent using an EHR and the impact of inbox messages on EHR burden, all in a primary care setting.
  • MedStar will study primary care physician EHR inbox prioritization.
  • Stanford University School of Medicine will use EHR event log data and other data to evaluate the frequency of text messaging in the inpatient setting; the relationships between team stability and inbox message frequency, and whether higher text message interruptions during order entry is associated with increased order entry errors.
  • University of California San Francisco will assess the impact of e-visit billing on clinician EHR inbox time, work on the EHR after patient scheduled hours and overall EHR burden.
  • University of Colorado School of Medicine will investigate whether inpatient EHR-based audit log data can serve as a useful tool in identifying when work design and workloads are leading to physician burnout and patient harm.
  • University of Wisconsin-Madison will use EHR event log data to investigate the association between team support for medication orders and physician time spent on order entry and time on inbox in primary care.
  • Wake Forest University School of Medicine will assess primary care physician time spent in the EHR during paid time off.
  • Yale University School of Medicine will expand on Yale’s previous research studying physician retention, clinical productivity, and patterns of EHR use in the emergency department.
