To determine whether hospital adoption of a new electronic health record (EHR) developer increases patient sharing with hospitals using the same developer.

Reducing suicidal behavior among patients in the healthcare system requires accurate and explainable predictive models of suicide risk across diverse healthcare settings.

BaMaRa allows the secure collection and deidentified centralization of medical data from all patients followed-up in a rare disease expert network in France, based on a minimum data set (SDM-MR). The present article describes BaMaRa information system implementation and development across the whole national territory as well as data access requests through BNDMR, the data warehouse which centralizes all BaMaRa data, during the 2015-2020 period.

The study provides considerations for generating a phenotype of child abuse and neglect in Emergency Departments (ED) using secondary data from electronic health records (EHR). Implications will be provided for racial bias reduction and the development of further decision support tools to assist in identifying child abuse and neglect.

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has heterogenous clinical courses, indicating that there might be distinct subphenotypes in critically ill patients. Although prior research has identified these subphenotypes, the temporal pattern of multiple clinical features has not been considered in cluster models. We aimed to identify temporal subphenotypes in critically ill patients with COVID-19 using a novel sequence cluster analysis and associate them with clinically relevant outcomes.

Child abuse and neglect are public health issues impacting communities throughout the United States. The broad adoption of electronic health records (EHR) in health care supports the development of machine learning-based models to help identify child abuse and neglect. Employing EHR data for child abuse and neglect detection raises several critical ethical considerations. This article applied a phenomenological approach to discuss and provide recommendations for key ethical issues related to [...]
