De-implementation of a 10-year EHR configuration resulted in over 50% decrease in the volume of the most-common InBasket message type received by PCPs. Pro-actively seeking out ways to not only (a) implement helpful new EHR features but (b) de-implement detrimental ones offers an opportunity to accelerate improvement in the S/N ratio and reduce clinician frustration and dissatisfaction with the EHR. Balancing governance decision agendas with de-implementation opportunities can enhance the clinician experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Constructing multi-site specialty registries typically proves time-consuming. Electronic health record (EHR) data collected during clinical care affords a pragmatic approach to accelerating registry implementation. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is an increasingly common and morbid condition. Building a multi-site registry for HFpEF proved feasible using EHR data coded in standard terminologies (SNOMED CT, LOINC) and shared via Health Information Exchanges. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
