To propose a visual display-the probability threshold plot (PTP)-that transparently communicates a predictive models' measures of discriminative accuracy along the range of model-based predicted probabilities (Pt).

Fertility is becoming increasingly supported by consumer health technologies, especially mobile apps that support self-tracking activities. However, it is not clear whether the apps support the variety of goals and life events of those who menstruate, especially during transitions between them.

Limited research exists in predicting first-time suicide attempts that account for two-thirds of suicide decedents. We aimed to predict first-time suicide attempts using a large data-driven approach that applies natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) to unstructured (narrative) clinical notes and structured electronic health record (EHR) data.

The use of alerts from the Bronx RHIO, a health information exchange (HIE) to identify James J. Peters VAMC patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in the community was described to facilitate COVID-19 VA primary care follow-up. COVID-19 hospitalization and testing alerts were delivered on a Bronx RHIO facility report. VA COVID-19 follow-up care by telephone and video was guided by local COVID-19 clinical pathways, electronic health record (EHR) templates, and tracking [...]

The United States, and especially West Virginia, have a tremendous burden of coronary artery disease (CAD). Undiagnosed familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an important factor for CAD in the U.S. Identification of a CAD phenotype is an initial step to find families with FH.

Electronic health records (EHRs) are used in long-term care to document the patients' condition, medication, and care, thereby supporting communication among caregivers and counteracting adverse drug events. However, the use of EHRs in long-term care has lagged behind EHR use in hospitals. In addition, most EHR research focuses on hospitals.

Prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are one of the major long-term health conditions affecting global healthcare delivery. One of the few effective approaches is to actively manage diabetes via a healthy and active lifestyle.

Alert fatigue is a common issue with off-the-shelf clinical decision support. Most warnings for drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are overridden or ignored, likely because they lack relevance to the patient's clinical situation. Existing alerting systems for DDIs are often simplistic in nature or do not take the specific patient context into consideration, leading to overly sensitive alerts. The objective of this study is to develop, validate, and test DDI alert algorithms [...]

The objective of this study is to provide an overview of the Regenstrief Teaching Electronic Medical Record (tEMR), how the tEMR could be used, and how it is currently being used in health professions education. The tEMR is a derivative of a real-world electronic health record (EHR), a large, pseudonymized patient database, and a population health tool designed to support curricular goals. The tEMR has been successfully adopted at 12 [...]

To construct and publicly release a set of medical concept embeddings for codes following the ICD-10 coding standard which explicitly incorporate hierarchical information from medical codes into the embedding formulation.
