Abstract: Many healthcare facilities screen patients for depression, falls, and domestic violence. However, clinical staff face time pressures that may interfere with screening. We developed an iPad program that patients use on check-in to complete this screening, which is then transmitted to the electronic health record. In a pre-post study including over 3000 patients, the iPad program detected five times as many at risk patients compared to staff based screening.

Describe the new knowledge and additional skills the participant will gain after attending your presentation.: Participants will:
1) Understand the advantages of using self-administered electronic health questionnaires in clinical contexts, and
2) See an example of a patient-facing iPad program that uses HL7 FHIR APIs to transmit data to the electronic health record
