| 8:45-10:30 | Panel 1: Making Meaningful Change by Integrating Occupational Information in Electronic Health Records |
| Facilitators: Laura Obbard and Curtis Cole | |
| Panel Framing Questions: | |
|
• How does capturing occupational data improve care in your area (e.g., by |
|
improving clinical efficiency and quality, reducing health disparities, engaging patients and families)? • With regard to occupational data, what level of specificity is required to effectively inform clinical decision making? • What current evidence or cost savings data are you familiar with that occupational data can impact patient care in each area? How could incorporating this information in an electronic health record (EHR) enhance care? |

| Panel Framing Questions: | |
|
• Is occupational information being collected in the EHR in your system? o If so, how have these data been used or what is the plan for using this information? What types of occupational information were collected and at what level of specificity? o If not, has the collection of occupational information been considered? What could this information bring to your practice? How do you see this |
|
information being most easily collected and most productively used? • What are the challenges of collecting useful occupational information? • What occupational information should be collected so that clinical decision support could be added to the EHR? |
