Overuse of cardiac telemetry monitoring (telemetry) can lead to alarm fatigue, discomfort for patients, and unnecessary medical costs. Currently there are evidence-based recommendations describing appropriate telemetry use, but many providers are unaware of these guidelines.

There is an increasing body of literature advocating for the collection of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in clinical care. Unfortunately, there are many barriers to integrating PRO measures, particularly computer adaptive tests (CATs), within electronic health records (EHRs), thereby limiting access to advances in PRO measures in clinical care settings.

To develop and evaluate an electronic tool that collects interval history and incorporates it into a provider summary note.

Objectives of this study were to (1) describe barriers to using clinical practice guideline (CPG) admission order sets in a pediatric hospital and (2) determine if integrating CPG order bundles into a general admission order set increases adoption of CPG-recommended orders compared to standalone CPG order sets. We identified CPG-eligible encounters and surveyed admitting physicians to understand reasons for not using the associated CPG order set. We then integrated CPG [...]

The objective of this study is to develop a deep learning pipeline to detect signals on dietary supplement-related adverse events (DS AEs) from Twitter.

To estimate the risk of hospital admission and mortality from COVID-19 to patients and measure the association of race and area-level social vulnerability with those outcomes.

We report on our experience of deploying a continuous remote patient monitoring (CRPM) study soft launch with structured cascading and escalation pathways on heart failure (HF) patients post-discharge. The lessons learned from the soft launch are used to modify and fine-tune the workflow process and study protocol.

Clinical workflows require the ability to synthesize and act on existing and emerging patient information. While offering multiple benefits, in many circumstances electronic health records (EHRs) do not adequately support these needs.

The Huntsman Cancer Institute Research Informatics Shared Resource (RISR), a software and database development core facility, sought to address a lack of published operational best practices for research informatics cores. It aimed to use those insights to enhance effectiveness after an increase in team size from 20 to 31 full-time equivalents coincided with a reduction in user satisfaction.

To examine the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the extent of potential violations of Internet users' privacy.
