ISMMS Students Develop App to Provide More Consistent Health Care

Paper details the development and implementation of a new health care knowledge management system.

  • (May 27, 2015)

In an effort to improve the flow of information and frequent transfer of protocols to new personnel, members of the East Harlem Health Outreach Partnership (EHHOP), a student-run, physician-supervised free clinic at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, developed EHHap, a knowledge management system mobile application. A paper outlining the development and implementation methods of EHHap is published in IOS Press.

As a student-run clinic, EHHOP has a constant cycle of new students entering the program and experienced, knowledgeable students leaving the program. EHHap consolidates institutional knowledge and provides students with a quick reference of protocol checklists to more efficiently and effectively care for their patients.

Paper authors include ISMMS students Mark Finkelstein; Ammar Siddiqui; Theodore Pak; Kevin Hu; Chloe Ciccariello; Vinicius Knabben; David Chiang; as well as Dr. David C. Thomas and Dr. Yasmin S. Meah. Read more.
