To explore the potential effects of recent restrictions on discussions regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the field of biomedical informatics.

This study aims to review the effectiveness of electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROMs) to triage and schedule appointments for adult patients with chronic medical conditions.

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.

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

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 [...]

Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is an essential outcome after the heart transplant, which causes severe complications and symptoms for recipients. The in advance prediction of PGD can help the transplant physician better manage the risks of PGD occurrence for patients. Domain experts have identified some important risk factors leading to PGD. However, a widely accepted PGD prediction method is lacking from a computational perspective. In this work, we focus on [...]

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.

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.
