A learning health systems approach to implementation and evaluation of an academic emergency department single shared note workflow.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The application of implementation science (IS) frameworks to evaluate quality process improvement initiatives in an academic emergency department (ED) setting offers a promising approach for learning health systems (LHS). This report describes the University of Colorado Department of Emergency Medicine's LHS partnership among clinical operations, data analytics, and IS experts to evaluate a novel shared note workflow.

Methods

The University of Colorado Health (UCH) ED, staffed with scribes, advanced practice providers, and physicians, implemented a shared note workflow in summer 2022. This workflow involved all parties in a clinical encounter using a single note template, unlike previous separate notes. An IS expert guided the evaluation using the implementation
