Creighton Health Services Research Program

CHRP is designed to promote and sustain health service research. The emphasis is to examine issues related to patient safety and quality in health care, including new and emerging technological influences on safety, the effects of health care financing, relationship of costs of pharmaceuticals and treatments, social and behavioral influences on care, access and disparities issues, and models of care delivery.

Major activities include:

• A federal-private research grant funded partnership to study and track health information technology adoption by physicians, pharmacists and health care providers, including EHRs, EMRs, PHRs, and practice activities, such as e-prescribing.
• A state funded research grant portfolio to study consumer attitudes, beliefs, concerns and behaviors about health information exchange, and community models about health information exchange.
• Health professions education initiatives in patient safety.
• Research fellowship with an emphasis in patient safety and quality.
• Service initiatives in patient safety and quality through community/state partners.
  

With funding from an AHRQ grant, researchers at the Creighton Health Services Research Program are involved in survey research to inform the HISPC Committee about security and privacy issues from different stakeholders in the state.
