However, if standardized social and behavioral data can be incorporated into patient electronic health records (EHRs), those data can provide crucial information about factors that influence health and the effectiveness of treatment. Such information is useful for diagnosis, treatment choices, policy, health care system design, and innovations to improve health outcomes and reduce health care costs. Capturing Social and Behavioral Domains and Measures in Electronic Health Records: Phase 2 identifies domains and measures that capture the social determinants of health to inform the development of recommendations for the meaningful use of EHRs. This report is the second part of a two-part study. The Phase 1 report identified 17 domains for inclusion in EHRs. This report pinpoints 12 measures related to 11 of the initial domains and considers the implications of incorporating them into all EHRs. This book includes three chapters from the Phase 1 report in addition to the new Phase 2 material. Standardized use of EHRs that include social and behavioral domains could provide better patient care, improve population health, and enable more informative research. The recommendations of Capturing Social and Behavioral Domains and Measures in Electronic Health Records: Phase 2 will provide valuable information on which to base problem identification, clinical diagnoses, patient treatment, outcomes assessment, and population health measurement. %0 Book %A Transportation Research Board %A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine %T Public Transportation Operating Agencies as Employers of Choice %D 2004 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/13736/public-transportation-operating-agencies-as-employers-of-choice %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/13736/public-transportation-operating-agencies-as-employers-of-choice %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Transportation and Infrastructure %P 12 %X TRB’s Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Report 103: Public Transportation Operating Agencies as Employers of Choice documents principles, techniques, and strategies that are used in workforce recruitment, development, and retention.

Transit agency efforts to quantify these benefits have focused primarily on environmental sustainability. The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) has developed guidance for transit agencies on how to use performance measures to quantify transit’s impact on environmental sustainability. APTA has yet to develop similar guidance to measure social and economic sustainability, which is the focus of this research project. The TRB Transit Cooperative Research Program's TCRP Research Report 205: Social and Economic Sustainability Performance Measures for Public Transportation: Final Guidance Document explores a practical tool to help transit agencies of all sizes develop and use social and economic sustainability performance measures to plan, evaluate, and report on social and economic sustainability. The report is intended to complement the APTA Recommended Practice for Social and Economic Sustainability for Transit Agencies (2018). APTA’s Recommended Practice provides a framework for approaching economic and social sustainability, along with an overview of recommended practices; however, the document does not include performance measures, which are a key component to reporting progress and gauging success.The report is presented with a companion Excel workbook that can be used by transit agencies to develop their own initial list of performance measures. The workbook includes 606 social and economic sustainability performance measures, as well as 93 transit service performance measures. %0 Book %A Transportation Research Board %A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine %T Traffic Signal Retiming Practices in the United States %D 2010 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/22915/traffic-signal-retiming-practices-in-the-united-states %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/22915/traffic-signal-retiming-practices-in-the-united-states %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Transportation and Infrastructure %P 80 %X TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 409: Traffic Signal Retiming Practices in the United States explores practices that operating agencies currently use to revise traffic signal timing.

These incidents have triggered a broader discussion of how serious incidents can be prevented in the future and how best to train researchers and emergency personnel to respond appropriately when incidents do occur. As the priority placed on safety increases, many institutions have expressed a desire to go beyond simple compliance with regulations to work toward fostering a strong, positive safety culture: affirming a constant commitment to safety throughout their institutions, while integrating safety as an essential element in the daily work of laboratory researchers. Safe Science takes on this challenge. This report examines the culture of safety in research institutions and makes recommendations for university leadership, laboratory researchers, and environmental health and safety professionals to support safety as a core value of their institutions. The report discusses ways to fulfill that commitment through prioritizing funding for safety equipment and training, as well as making safety an ongoing operational priority. A strong, positive safety culture arises not because of a set of rules but because of a constant commitment to safety throughout an organization. Such a culture supports the free exchange of safety information, emphasizes learning and improvement, and assigns greater importance to solving problems than to placing blame. High importance is assigned to safety at all times, not just when it is convenient or does not threaten personal or institutional productivity goals. Safe Science will be a guide to make the changes needed at all levels to protect students, researchers, and staff. %0 Book %T Impact of New Disruptive Technologies on the Performance of DOTs %D 2023 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/27292/impact-of-new-disruptive-technologies-on-the-performance-of-dots %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/27292/impact-of-new-disruptive-technologies-on-the-performance-of-dots %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Transportation and Infrastructure %P 102 %X Technology is at the core of the surface transportation system and is embodied in existing and new scientific knowledge and infrastructure, hardware, and software processes.

It is also is the source water for several springs and rivers, including the two largest freshwater springs in Texas that form the San Marcos and Comal Rivers. The unique habitat afforded by these spring-fed rivers has led to the development of species that are found in no other locations on Earth. Due to the potential for variations in spring flow caused by both human and natural causes, these species are continuously at risk and have been recognized as endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act(ESA). In an effort to manage the river systems and the aquifer that controls them, the Edwards Aquifer Authority and stakeholders have developed a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). The HCP seeks to effectively manage the river-aquifer system to ensure the viability of the ESA-listed species in the face of drought, population growth, and other threats to the aquifer. The National Research Council was asked to assist in this process by reviewing the activities around implementing the HCP. Review of the Edwards Aquifer Habitat Conservation Plan: Report 2 reviews the progress in implementing the recommendations from the Committee's first report, seeking to clarify and provide additional support for implementation efforts where appropriate. The current report also reviews selected Applied Research projects and minimization and mitigation measures to help ensure their effectiveness in benefiting the listed species. %0 Book %A Transportation Research Board %A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine %E Turnbull, Katherine F. %T The Role of Freight Transportation in Economic Competitiveness %D 2015 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/22135/the-role-of-freight-transportation-in-economic-competitiveness %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/22135/the-role-of-freight-transportation-in-economic-competitiveness %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Transportation and Infrastructure %P 104 %X TRB's Conference Proceedings on the Web 16: The Role of Freight Transportation in Economic Competitiveness summarizes a December 2014 conference that explored the trends in freight transportation and economic competitiveness, as well as global business models and supply chains.
