Opportunity for nurse participation in external market research activity

Opportunity for nurse participation in external market research activity: SMART App Gallery Market Research

Principal Investigator: Kenneth Mandl MD, MPH

Brief Summary of Market Research Activity:

This project is a part of a federal initiative (NAP-AX-16-003 Discovery Infrastructure for Clinical Health IT Apps Cooperative Agreement) to create an “app store” for healthcare, where clinical users can browse and test out apps built on emerging healthcare interoperability standards, with the goal of creating an ecosystem of apps that can be securely added to an EHR (similar to how apps can be added to a smart phone).  One of the grant requirements is to perform market research with potential users of this “app store” so we can tailor its design to their needs.  As users and innovators of health apps, you are in a unique position to contribute to this important market research activity.  We have engaged KLAS Research http://www.klasresearch.com/ to do brief 15-20 minute phone interviews with CMIOs, MDs, RNs and PAs.  Their end product will be a publicly available white paper comprised of their analysis of the data from these interviews, and will serve to inform federal health IT policy.

If you are interested in participating in this market research, please contact Megan Rollins at 857-218-3846 or Megan.Rollins@childrens.harvard.edu by November 1, 2016.
