(New) The UPMC eRecord deployments continue to involve more clinical practices each year. To date, the eRecord team has been successful in expanding both system implementation and adoption. The eRecord team would like to mirror those deployment successes with evaluation excellence in establishing the connection between the eRecord systems and quality, safety, cost or time savings, and general impact on care. With that in mind, they have established the Clinical Informatics, Quality and Safety (CLIQS) as an internal grant process for projects that will study the connection of these measures with the eRecord.
