When a paucity of clinical information is communicated from ordering physicians to radiologists at the time of radiology order entry, suboptimal imaging interpretations and patient care may result.

Automated understanding of consumer health inquiries might be hindered by misspellings. To detect and correct various types of spelling errors in consumer health questions, we developed a distributable spell-checking tool, CSpell, that handles nonword errors, real-word errors, word boundary infractions, punctuation errors, and combinations of the above.

CancelRx allows prescribers to send electronic cancellation messages to pharmacies when medications are discontinued. Little is known about its functionality and impact on clinical workflows.

Inpatient providers are increasingly utilizing alternative communication modalities outside what has traditionally been used, including short messaging service text messaging and application-based chat tools. Text messaging that meets the recommendations of the Joint Commission ("secure text messaging") allows for the communication of sensitive patient information through an encrypted platform.

The purpose of this article is to describe neonatal intensive care unit clinician perceptions of a continuous predictive analytics technology and how those perceptions influenced clinician adoption. Adopting and integrating new technology into care is notoriously slow and difficult; realizing expected gains remain a challenge.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the most frequent complications in diabetes associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. To accelerate DKD risk factor discovery, we present an ensemble feature selection approach to identify a robust set of discriminant factors using electronic medical records (EMRs).

Most electronic health records display historical medication information only in a data table or clinician notes. We designed a medication timeline visualization intended to improve ease of use, speed, and accuracy in the ambulatory care of chronic disease.

To describe the literature exploring the use of electronic health record (EHR) systems to support creation and use of clinical documentation to guide future research.

Information reconciliation is a common yet complex and often time-consuming task performed by healthcare providers. While electronic health record systems can receive "outside information" about a patient in electronic documents, rarely does the computer automate reconciling information about a patient across all documents.
