Adapting Practice-Based Intervention Research to Electronic Environments: Opportunities and Complexities at Two Institutions

摘要

Background and Purpose:Primary care practice-based research has become more complex with increased use of electronic health records (EHRs). Little has been reported about changes in study planning and execution that are required as practices change from paper-based to electronic-based environments. We describe the evolution of a pediatric practice-based intervention study as it was adapted for use in the electronic environment, to enable other practice-based researchers to plan efficient, effective studies.
