AMIA and AHIMA advocate empowering individuals to manage their healthcare through the use of a personal health record (PHR). The PHR is a tool for collecting, tracking and sharing important, up-to-date information about an individual’s health or the health of someone in their care. Using a PHR will help people […]
The American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) and the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) have a long history of working to protect the confidentiality of individuals’ health information and to promote fair information practices. Public confidence that privacy will be protected and that identifiable information will be used only for […]

Background Sepsis remains a leading cause of death for burn patients, yet the condition is hard to spot early. Hospitals generally rely on International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes for surveillance, but these codes are assigned late and often miss active cases. Objectives We developed and validated a scalable, electronic health record (EHR)-based digital phenotype that improves identification of burn-related sepsis compared with ICD codes alone. Methods We performed a [...]

This study positions surgeon gap time, defined as the interval between consecutive surgeries performed by the same surgeon, as a surgeon-level metric of efficiency. Understanding gap time requires accounting for a surgeon's operative workload, yet no objective electronic health record (EHR)-derived measure exists. We conceptualize surgical case demand as an EHR-derived surrogate for operative workload and examine its association with surgeon gap time.

Artificial intelligence is used in healthcare to identify and manage health conditions across diverse patient populations and clinical settings, but biases in algorithms can perpetuate and exacerbate inequalities in health and healthcare delivery. While some research has focused on addressing this critical issue, there is a lack of comprehensive information on the types of strategies employed for bias mitigation in the use of artificial intelligence in healthcare and the effectiveness [...]
