Electronic Health Record (EHR)-enhanced clinical communication and quality-of-life improvement in managing menopausal vasomotor symptoms

The overall goal of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of an EHR-facilitated clinical intervention to help improve control of vasomotor symptoms in menopausal women.  Research objectives include 1) To develop, build, test, and implement an EHR-based set of activities to facilitate clinical communication around managing VMS, 2) To assess the impact of EHR-enabled VMS tools on practitioners and the clinical encounter, 3) To assess the impact of EHR-enabled patient engagement on clinical interactions around managing their VMS, and 4) To improve patient Health-related Quality of Life (QoL) in symptomatic menopausal women through better management of VMS.
