 This study aimed to describe the current landscape of electronic health record (EHR) training and optimization programs (ETOPs) and their impact on health care workers' (HCWs) experience with the EHR.

 Health professions trainees (trainees) are unique as they learn a chosen field while working within electronic health records (EHRs). Efforts to mitigate EHR burden have been described for the experienced health professional (HP), but less is understood for trainees. EHR or documentation burden (EHR burden) affects trainees, although not all trainees use EHRs, and use may differ for experienced HPs.

 This study aimed to (1) empirically investigate current practices and analyze ethical dimensions of clinical data sharing by health care organizations for uses other than treatment, payment, and operations; and (2) make recommendations to inform research and policy for health care organizations to protect patients' privacy and autonomy when sharing data with unrelated third parties.

 Health Information Technology is increasingly being used to help providers connect patients with community resources to meet health-related social needs (e.g., food, housing, transportation). Research is needed to design efficient, simple, and engaging interfaces during a sensitive process that involves multiple stakeholders. Research is also needed to understand the roles, expectations, barriers, and facilitators these different stakeholders (i.e., patients, providers, and community-based organizations [CBOs]) face during this process.

 There is a need to integrate informatics education into medical training programs given the rise in demand for health informaticians and the call on the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and the body of undergraduate medical education for implementation of informatics curricula.

 As teleconsultations continue to rise in popularity due to their convenience and accessibility, it is crucial to identify and address the challenges they present in order to improve the patient experience, enhance outcomes, and ensure the quality of care. To identify communication challenges that clinicians and patients experience during teleconsultation, a scoping review was conducted.

 Ensuring the security of nursing information holds substantial importance to nursing outcomes and healthcare system management. The awareness of information security among nurses in China is generally inadequate, and there is a lack of standardized evaluation tools for nurse information security in nursing practice. The nursing sector necessitates the establishment of a robust culture surrounding information security.

 Duplicate patient records can increase costs and medical errors. We assessed the association between demographic factors, comorbidities, health care usage, and duplicate electronic health records.

We proposed adopting billing models for secure messaging (SM) telehealth services that move beyond time-based metrics, focusing on the complexity and clinical expertise involved in patient care.
