  • Research Interests
  • Dr. Stein's research focus is on patient care transitions and continuity of care. He has studied how EHRs and clinical documentation are used to support end-of-shift patient handoff, conducted analyses on the cooperative management of clinical tasks across such transitions, and ultimately aims to use information technology to improve the safety of this common and dangerous aspect of clinical workflow.

    Other research interests include clinical information summarization, clinical collaboration and communication support tools, clinical decision support and evidence-based care, mobile and Web 2.0 technology in healthcare.

    NYP Clinical Dashboards
    Description: In collaboration with the IT department of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, we develop and evaluate real-time views of enterprise-wide clinical data that informs safe, effective, and efficient clinical care. The dashboards are created using Microsoft's Amalga platform.
    Sponsor: NewYork-Presbyterian
    Dates: 2011-
    The Handoff Support, Standardization and Safety (HS3) Initiative
    Description: The Handoff Support, Standardization and Safety (HS3) Initiative is a multidisciplinary, multi-institutional collaborative project that focuses on improving inpatient care transitions. We develop tools, training methods, and educational materials that can be used by hospital clinicians to ensure that inpatient handoff is conducted in an efficient, safe, and standardized manner.
    Sponsor: DBMI I2RC
    Dates: 2006-
    Identifying Surgeons' Adherence to Evidence-Based Best Practices
    Description: Using our enterprise data warehouse we are examining surgeons' adherence to evidence-based best practices, and identifying critical points in the decision trees that support optimal care. We aim to intervene with decision support tools at these critical points to improve local practice.
