Despite widespread implementation of predicted patient wait time information systems in hospital emergency departments (EDs), the relationship between quality of announced wait time information and ED overcrowding mitigation remains unclear. This study investigates how prediction accuracy, update frequency, and patient adoption rates affect ED overcrowding level.

To quantify run-to-run reproducibility of Gemini 3 Flash Preview and GPT-5.2 for trial-success classification across temperature and reasoning/thinking settings and determine whether single-run reporting suffices.

Intelligent agent-driven research co-pilots, leveraging advances in generative AI, are transforming how scientists access biomedical knowledge. This paper presents Med.ai ASK, an agentic question-answering system designed to address biomedical inquiries through dynamic retrieval augmentation and tool-driven reasoning. We aim to develop a system capable of parsing the nuance in biomedical scientists' research questions to provide reliable, grounded responses that are more accurate than other generative AI solutions.

Foundation models pretrained on structured electronic health record (EHR) data promise improved predictive performance, sample efficiency and resilience to distribution shifts. However, model design, scale and use remain unclear. Objectives were to characterize foundation models pretrained on structured EHR data; examine temporal trends in model application and scale, architecture and design; and assess the extent to which publications omitted methodological details.

Traditional electronic health record (EHR) foundation models fail to process unseen medical codes, limiting generalizability across institutions with different vocabularies. To address this problem, we introduce medical concept representation (MedRep), standardized medical concept representations for EHR foundation models, enabling recognition of semantically similar concepts regardless of their specific IDs.

Reuse of shared datasets is often limited by incomplete or inconsistent documentation, hindering interpretation and secondary analysis. We developed DataAtlas, an open-source system for automated generation of data dictionaries from tabular datasets.

To analyze social needs documentation across structured electronic sources in Johns Hopkins Health System, describing practices, patient characteristics, and utility for care, research, and population health.

To describe the Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) Consortium's initial implementation of generative artificial intelligence (AI) within the REDCap platform using a minimum viable product (MVP) strategy.

To compare the performance of task-specific generative AI, with general-purpose large language models (LLMs) in generating more readable lay abstracts and summaries (LASs) of Oncology research.

To conduct a systematic review of studies assessing the accuracy of International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) codes in administrative data for ascertaining health conditions when compared to a reference standard.
