Transforming Healthcare in Post-Pandemic Recovery: Innovation in Process & Technology to Increase Patient Throughput While Reducing Clinician Burden and Addressing Health Disparities (One-4-ALL Initiative)
University of Colorado, Denver
Summary
This study aims to improve health outcomes of individuals and populations, enhance the patient experience, reduce the per capita cost of care, and ensure the well-being of our healthcare providers (quadruple aim). These goals are increasingly difficult to achieve, given the challenges of changes to workflow, staffing shortages, and increased costs brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, the pandemic brought to light the critical need to transform healthcare access for our racially and culturally minoritized and low-income families that have long been victims of health disparities, specifically with poorer health outcomes.
Description
The overall objective is to successfully implement a patient app that will be used by families to 1) increase throughput for all patients, including minoritized, low-income, and low health literacy patients, and 2) reduce administrative burdens on providers. To evaluate this hypothesis, the following specific aims will be examined: Aim 1: Document modifiable factors that negatively and positively impact providers' ability to provide high-quality patient care in a post-pandemic healthcare system while addressing health disparities through implementation science. Aim 2: Create a "boarding pas…
