HL7 SMART on FHIR apps have the potential to improve healthcare delivery and EHR usability, but providers must be aware of the apps and use them for these potential benefits to be realized. The HL7 CDS Hooks standard was developed in part for this purpose. The objective of this study was to determine if contextually relevant CDS Hooks prompts can increase utilization of a SMART on FHIR medical reference app [...]

Hospitals have multiple methods available to engage in health information exchange (HIE); however, it is not well understood whether these methods are complements or substitutes. We sought to characterize patterns of adoption of HIE methods and examine the association between these methods and increased availability and use of patient information.

The HL7® fast healthcare interoperability resources (FHIR®) specification has emerged as the leading interoperability standard for the exchange of healthcare data. We conducted a scoping review to identify trends and gaps in the use of FHIR for clinical research.

To assess the functionality and feasibility of the GROWIN app for promoting early detection of growth disorders in childhood, supporting early interventions, and improving children's lifestyle by analyzing data collected over 3 years (2018-2020).

To determine the variability of ingredient, strength, and dose form information from drug product descriptions in real-world electronic prescription (e-prescription) data.

Electronic consultation (eConsult) content reflects important information about referring clinician needs across an organization, but is challenging to extract. The objective of this work was to develop machine learning models for classifying eConsult questions for question type and question content. Another objective of this work was to investigate the ability to solve this task with constrained expert time resources.

Both academic medical centers and biomedical research sponsors need to understand impact of scientific funding to determine value. For the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) hubs, tracking research activities can be complex, often involving multiple institutions and continually changing federal reporting requirements. Existing research administrative systems are institution-specific and tend to focus only on parts of a greater whole. The goal of this case [...]

Participation in healthcare research shapes health policy and practice; however, low trust is a barrier to participation. We evaluated whether returning health information (information transparency) and disclosing intent of data use (intent transparency) impacts trust in research.
