Automated data extraction from echocardiography reports could facilitate large-scale registry creation and clinical surveillance of valvular heart diseases (VHD). We evaluated the performance of open-source large language models (LLMs) guided by prompt instructions and chain of thought (CoT) for this task.

The US healthcare system faces significant challenges, including clinician burnout, operational inefficiencies, and concerns about patient safety. Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly generative AI, has the potential to address these challenges, but its adoption, effectiveness, and barriers to implementation are not well understood.

To characterize and demonstrate how to reduce the administrative burden experienced by patients when navigating medication affordability resources in the United States.

Screening Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) can reduce the health and social costs associated with unhealthy alcohol use (UAU). Electronic health records (EHRs) can support evidence-based screening practices for UAU and provide performance data needed for quality improvement. The objective of this study was to describe barriers faced by primary care clinics when using EHR systems to support UAU screening and delivery of recommended interventions.

To conduct a scoping review (ScR) of existing approaches for synthetic Electronic Health Records (EHR) data generation, to benchmark major methods, and to provide an open-source software and offer recommendations for practitioners.

Establishing a robust and secure framework allowing creation and sharing of custom features within the REDCap electronic data capture platform.

Common Data Elements (CDEs) standardize data collection and sharing across studies, enhancing data interoperability and improving research reproducibility. However, implementing CDEs presents challenges due to the broad range and variety of data elements. This study aims to develop a CDE mapping tool to bridge the gap between local data elements and National Institutes of Health (NIH) CDEs.

To synthesize knowledge on tensions characterizing large-scale electronic health record (EHR) implementations.

To determine how much of the current biomedical literature would be flagged or require modification in relation to the presence of terms from leaked lists prepared by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the National Security Administration (NSA) in early 2025.

Unlocking clinical information embedded in clinical notes has been hindered to a significant degree by domain-specific and context-sensitive language. Identification of note sections and structural document elements has been shown to improve information extraction and dependent downstream clinical natural language processing (NLP) tasks and applications. This study investigates the viability of a dynamic example selection prompting method to section classification using lightweight, open-source large language models (LLMs) as a practical [...]
