Rule-base clinical decision support alerts are known to malfunction, but tools for discovering malfunctions are limited.

To identify who were social media active e-cigarette users, to compare the use patterns from both survey and social media data for data triangulation, and to jointly use both datasets to conduct a comprehensive analysis on e-cigarette future use intentions.

Connected medical devices and electronic health records have added important functionality to patient care, but have also introduced a range of cybersecurity concerns. When a healthcare organization suffers from a cybersecurity incident, its incident response strategies are critical to the success of its recovery.

Blockchain-based platforms are emerging to provide solutions for technical and governance challenges associated with genomic data sharing. Providing capabilities for distributed data stewardship and participatory access control along with effective ways for enforcement of the data access agreements and data ownership are among the major promises of these platforms.

Accurate and efficient identification of complex chronic conditions in the electronic health record (EHR) is an important but challenging task that has historically relied on tedious clinician review and oversimplification of the disease. Here we adapt methods that allow for automated "noisy labeling" of positive and negative controls to create a "silver standard" for machine learning to automate identification of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Our final model, which includes both [...]

Conduct a cluster analysis of inpatient portal (IPP) users from an academic medical center to improve understanding of who uses these portals and how.

Across recent decades, profound changes in the practice of medicine have been accompanied by parallel developments in the daily mental efforts of medical professionals. Using visual metaphors and hand-drawn illustrations, the author explores the evolution of one physician's brain over the past 25 years. At the completion of training, the patient-practitioner relationship, medical knowledge, and care decisions dominated clinician thought, time, and effort. During the 1990's, the growing constraints of [...]

This study evaluates whether a web-based educational program for patients who read their mental health notes online improves patient-clinician communication and increases patient activation.

Querying electronic health records (EHRs) to find patients meeting study criteria is an efficient method of identifying potential study participants. We aimed to measure the effectiveness of EHR-driven recruitment in the context of ADAPTABLE (Aspirin Dosing: A Patient-centric Trial Assessing Benefits and Long-Term Effectiveness)-a pragmatic trial aiming to recruit 15 000 patients.
