Project Title/Research Interests: Physician Ordering Pattern for Routine Mammogram Screening in Response to a Best Practice Advisory

Background:
Dr. Indira Gowda is a current Clinical Informatics Fellow at UCLA Health. While completing residency in Emergency Medicine at Mount Sinai, Indira became involved in the Asthma Mobile Health Study that was a part of Apple’s larger ResearchKit. This study leveraged mobile apps in order to complete a national observational study involving thousands of participants. In addition she worked with BrainCheck, deploying their concussion app in the Emergency Department in order to determine if app exposure improved patient satisfaction and overall knowledge of disease. As a fellow at UCLA, Dr. Gowda would like to continue work with app development that engages patients in their healthcare. In addition she would like to explore implementing predictive analytics in the ED setting in order to improve workflow.
