Digital Diabetes Prevention Programs (dDPP) are novel mHealth applications that leverage digital features such as tracking and messaging to support behavior change for diabetes prevention. Despite their clinical effectiveness, long-term engagement to these programs remains a challenge, creating barriers to adherence and meaningful health outcomes. We partnered with a dDPP vendor to develop a personalized automatic message system (PAMS) to promote user engagement to the dDPP platform by sending messages [...]

The aim of this study was to collect and synthesize evidence regarding data quality problems encountered when working with variables related to social determinants of health (SDoH).

During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, federally qualified health centers rapidly mobilized to provide SARS-CoV-2 testing, COVID-19 care, and vaccination to populations at increased risk for COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. We describe the development of a reusable public health data analytics system for reuse of clinical data to evaluate the health burden, disparities, and impact of COVID-19 on populations served by health centers.

To evaluate the International Classification of Health Interventions (ICHI) in the clinical and statistical use cases.

This work examined the secondary use of clinical data from the electronic health record (EHR) for screening our healthcare worker (HCW) population for potential exposures to patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

The COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic response at the Medical University of South Carolina included virtual care visits for patients with suspected severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. The telehealth system used for these visits only exports a text note to integrate with the electronic health record, but structured and coded information about COVID-19 (eg, exposure, risk factors, symptoms) was needed to support clinical care and early research [...]
