A Better Approach for Screening Women for Intimate Partner Violence in Primary Care
This research demonstrates the use of an electronic health record (EHR)-based tool to improve confidential screening and risk management for intimate partner violence (IPV) in primary care settings.

An EHR-based Predictive Model to Identify Higher Likelihood of Social Needs Among Patients with Multiple Chronic Conditions
This EHR-based predictive model helps identify health-related social needs and then provide support to patients with multiple chronic conditions (MCC). The systematic approaches developed can be used to improve how primary care practices serve these complex patients.

Enabling Real-Time Identification of Burnout Risk Among Clinicians in Primary Care Practices
This prediction tool enables real-time reports using already collected electronic health record (EHR) data to help predict and prevent clinician burnout before it occurs. Practices identified as high-risk can implement tailored process improvements to avoid the negative impacts of burnout on clinician well-being and patient care and safety.

Increasing Access to Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder in Rural Communities Through a Virtual Clinician Training and Support Program
These researchers applied the Project ECHO© model to train rural primary care clinicians in New Mexico to provide evidence-based care for patients with opioid use disorder (OUD). This has led to increased access to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) in this largely rural state.
