Acknowledgements

This toolkit represents a team effort, in which many individuals beyond the core author group made contributions to the content. We gratefully acknowledge their assistance. We offer our heartfelt thanks to the many stakeholders at UW Medicine (clinicians, staff, and researchers) and the faculty and software engineers at the UW Clinical Informatics Research Group for their practical experience, input, and valuable feedback on various sections of the toolkit. We would like to thank all participants who shared their experiences via interviews, focus groups, and observations, and the work of Mary Beth Hasselquist in visualization development and Caroline Shevrin for her technical editing.

The meaningful contributions of a diverse group of individuals who informed, participated, collaborated, and co-presented at the various workshops (sponsored by American Medical Informatics Association [AMIA], Society for Medical Decision Making [SMDM], AcademyHealth, Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society [HIMSS]), and International Society for Quality of Life Research [ISOQOL]) have been essential to the development of this toolkit. We also thank our co-presenters of the AMIA workshops, namely Arlene Chung (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), Carolyn Petersen (Mayo Clinic), and Sabrina Hsueh (Viome, Inc).
