Recovering missing electronic health record mortality data with a machine learning-enhanced data linkage process.
To develop a continual process for linking more comprehensive external mortality data to electronic health records (EHRs) for a large healthcare system, which can serve as a template for other healthcare systems.

Detecting emergencies in patient portal messages using large language models and knowledge graph-based retrieval-augmented generation.
This study aims to develop and evaluate an approach using large language models (LLMs) and a knowledge graph to triage patient messages that need emergency care. The goal is to notify patients when their messages indicate an emergency, guiding them to seek immediate help rather than using the patient portal, to improve patient safety.

Special Issue on CDS Failures: Opportunities and challenges associated with the pilot implementation of CDS systems: A qualitative study.
Despite their potential, Clinical Decision Support (CDS) systems often lack alignment with clinicians' needs and are underutilised in practice. Pilot implementations can help to improve the fit between systems and local needs by engaging users in real-world testing and refinement. Although pilot implementations of CDS have been reported, limited evidence has explored the factors contributing to pilot success.

Special Topic Burnout: Improving Nurse Documentation Time via an Electronic Health Record Documentation Efficiency Tool.
Nursing documentation burden is a growing point of concern in the United States healthcare system. Documentation in the electronic health record (EHR) is a contributor to perceptions of burden. Efficiency tools like flowsheet macros are one development intended to ease the burden of documentation.
