Patient Engaging Technology (PET) Sub-Committee

The primary activities of PET are:

1. To review, provide direction, and approve patient engagement technologies to assure alignment with strategic and operational goals and priorities of VUMC.
    
2. Systematically translate strategic and operational direction into projects to affect patient engagements through changes in approaches, policies, processes, and tools.
    
3. Oversee the points of interface between externally facing technologies and the VUMC electronic medical record systems. 
    
4. Align requests based on whether budgeted on unbudgeted resources and provide direction on approved technologies needing resources. 
    
5. Receive regular reports of profess and potential barriers to success from approved VUMC patient engagement technologies (e.g., MyHealth at Vanderbilt and Project Commodore). 
    
6. Approve releases of new functionality or changes visible to the patient before the release of approved patient engagement technologies (MyHealth at Vanderbilt and Project Commodore).
    
7. Provide review for grants requesting the use of patient engaging technologies for Vanderbilt patients. 
    
8. Foster the inclusion of disruptive technologies or promote the efficient collection of data from patients to promote evidence-based care planning.
