  • What Should Oversight of Clinical Decision Support Systems Look Like

    Open AccessEmily L Evans, Danielle WhicherARTICLEThe AMA Journal of Ethic2018

    A learning health system provides opportunities to leverage data generated in the course of standard clinical care to improve clinical practice. One such opportunity includes a clinical decision support structure that would allow clinicians to query electronic health records (EHRs) such that responses from the EHRs could inform treatment recommendations. We argue that though using a clinical decision support system does not necessarily constitute…

  • The Views of Quality Improvement Professionals and Comparative Effectiveness Researchers on Ethics, IRBs, and Oversight

    Open AccessDanielle Whicher, Norman Ka et al.ARTICLEJournal of Empirical Research on…2015

    Recently, there have been increasing numbers of activities labeled as either quality improvement (QI) or comparative effectiveness research (CER), both of which are designed to learn what works and what does not in routine clinical care settings. These activities can create confusion for researchers, Institutional Review Board members, and other stakeholders as they try to determine which activities or components of activities constitute clinical…

  • The Patient-centered Outcomes Research Institute’s Role in Advancing Methods for Patient-centered Outcomes Research

    Open AccessRachael Fleurence, Danielle Whicher et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2015References: 15

    Currently, there is wide-spread recognition that much of health care is insufficiently grounded in evidence as to what works for whom under what circumstances. An important reason for this is that research efforts often do not compare alternative options of health care nor are they sufficiently focused on outcomes that matter to patients.1,2 In addition, the methods to conduct research designed to inform decision makers about what works for whom …

  • Ethics and Informed Consent for Comparative Effectiveness Research With Prospective Electronic Clinical Data

    Ruth Faden, Norman Ka et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2013References: 7

    BACKGROUND: Electronic clinical data (ECD) will increasingly serve as an important source of information for comparative effectiveness research (CER). Although many retrospective studies have relied on ECD, new study designs propose using ECD for prospective CER. These designs have great potential but they also raise important ethics questions. AIMS: Drawing on an ethics framework for learning health care systems, we identify morally relevant fea…
