Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurological disorder with no specific curative medications. Sophisticated clinical skills are crucial to optimize treatment regimens given the multiple coexisting comorbidities in the patient population.

To assess large language models on their ability to accurately infer cancer disease response from free-text radiology reports.

Researchers at New York University (NYU) Grossman School of Medicine contacted the Health Sciences Library for help with locating large datasets for reuse. In response, the library developed and maintained the NYU Data Catalog, a public-facing data catalog that has supported not only faculty acquisition of data but also the dissemination of the products of their research in various ways.

The 21st Century Cures Act mandates immediate availability of test results upon request. The Cures Act does not require that patients be informed of results, but many organizations send notifications when results become available. Our medical center implemented 2 sequential policies: immediate notifications for all results, and notifications only to patients who opt in. We used over 2 years of data from Vanderbilt University Medical Center to measure the effect [...]

To describe experiences and activities of Clinical Informatics (CI) fellows since the first fellowships were accredited in 2014.

Textual radiology reports contain a wealth of information that may help understand associations among diseases and imaging observations. This study evaluated the ability to detect causal associations among diseases and imaging findings from their co-occurrence in radiology reports.

The aim of this study was to derive and evaluate a practical strategy of replacing ICD-10-CM codes by ICD-11 for morbidity coding in the United States, without the creation of a Clinical Modification.

Clinical decision support (CDS) can prevent medical errors and improve patient outcomes. Electronic health record (EHR)-based CDS, designed to facilitate prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) review, has reduced inappropriate opioid prescribing. However, the pooled effectiveness of CDS has exhibited substantial heterogeneity and current literature does not adequately detail why certain CDS are more successful than others. Clinicians regularly override CDS, limiting its impact. No studies recommend how to help nonadopters [...]

Physicians of all specialties experienced unprecedented stressors during the COVID-19 pandemic, exacerbating preexisting burnout. We examine burnout's association with perceived and actionable electronic health record (EHR) workload factors and personal, professional, and organizational characteristics with the goal of identifying levers that can be targeted to address burnout.
