Understanding uptake of and adherence to clinical practice guidelines for airway disease among patients cared for in the Veterans Health Administration

A project awarded by the Veterans Affairs to improve adherence to clinical practice guidelines for airway disease among Veterans using electronic health records and NLP algorithms.

Description

This project aims to develop and validate electronic health record-based definitions for guideline-based airway disease care, explore reasons for guideline discordance among clinicians and Veterans, and utilize NLP-enhanced algorithms to determine rates of guideline-concordant care among Veterans with airway disease. The study involves obtaining patient records, conducting qualitative interviews, and creating quality metrics to improve guideline adherence and care delivery.
