The Problem fallacy: efficacious intervention transmitted to the field Little knowledge about how to support - dissemination - implementation “We are now witnessing a global societal struggle to assure universal delivery of our know-how. We in medicine, however, have been slow to grasp why this is such a struggle, or how the volume of discovery has changed our work and responsibilities.” AtulGawande, 2011 commencement address at Harvard Medical School

Time in Practice and Quality of Care Choudhry, et al. Ann Intern Med 142:260-273, 2005 Conclusions: “…physicians who have been in practice for more years and older physicians possess less factual knowledge, are less likely to adhere to appropriate standards of care, and may also have poorer patient outcomes.”

Dissemination Research = how information about health promotion, treatment, preventive and services interventions is packaged, transmitted, and interpreted among a variety of important stakeholder groups Implementation Research = how to guide efforts to fit health interventions within real-world public health, clinical and community service systems

Purpose • contribute to the development of next generation dental EHR • overcome perceived and real barriers to the acceptance of EBD
Central Hypothesis We will overcome information barriers by tailoring informatics solutions for dentists by providing the right information • at the right time, • to the right person, • in the right format.
Preliminary Studies 1: unmet needs: access to patient-specific EB information Song M, Spallek H, Polk D, Schleyer T, Wali T. How information systems should support the information needs of general dentists in clinical settings: suggestions from a qualitative study. BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making. 2010; 10(7)
Preliminary Studies 2: Dentists will use EB tools if they are available. Spallek H, Song M, Polk DE, Bekhuis T, Frantsve-Hawley J, Aravamudhan K.

Preliminary Studies 3: Chairside computers are an untapped source of evidence-based treatment information and clinical decision support.

Specific Aim 1: Identify information barriers to the implementation of research findings & EB interventions
Specific Aim 2: Develop prototypical informatics solutions to overcome information barriers initial brainstorming session: generate list of informatics solutions evaluate & augment the ideas solutions to support integration of treatment guidelines into practice workflow identify 4 most promising designs for prototypical implementation
Specific Aim 3: Implement prototypical informatics solutions to develop a measurement instrument
Status Report • IRB for SA 1 & 2 • cases developed • questionnaire revised • script developed & pilot tested • recruitment started
Future Continue to promote the integration of research findings and EB interventions among practicing dentists. We will use pilot data from this study for a follow-up (R01) study to compare effectiveness of various implementations in a real-world dental practice setting.
