Comprehensive Cardiac Device Safety System
Creation of a “single source of truth” for device information in Cardiology.
The Living Lab showcases DIHI’s approach to catalyze innovations in health and healthcare. As they evolve from pilot implementations into sustainable solutions, projects become part of the “living lab” of evaluation and iterative innovation to build upon the knowledge gained through the testing of new clinical workflows and use cases.

The Problem As health systems grow larger and demand for specialty care increases, it is becoming increasingly important to embrace efforts to reduce care fragmentation

Development of a three-pronged program to decrease HIV transmission and increase awareness in the Duke and Durham community, including the creation of a dedicated Duke PrEP clinic at Duke Medical center, educational promotion, and community outreach.

Implementing a mobile complex care plan for provider and patient’s guardians to coordinate care approaches.

Development and implementation of a personalized music program that targets patients who are at high-risk for developing delirium and seen in the Perioperative Optimization for Senior Health (POSH) clinic at Duke.

Development of a highly individualized dedicated onsite care program at the Duke Outpatient Clinic.

Building statistical models and using machine learning principles to predict the absolute and relative risks of surgical complications for specific patients.

Use of validated statistical models on Duke data to predict the rate of decompensation for patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) while also creating a novel model of team-based care, Population Rounding TM.

Performing PHQ2 and subsequent PHQ9 on all patients that are having an annual visit or are in the primary care clinic for a post-hospital discharge visit. Based on the PHQ9 score, patients are connected to care management and virtually rounded on by a med/psych attending.
