 Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is an underdiagnosed cause of heart failure (HF) that disproportionately impacts men of African descent. Without a standardized method of screening and scattered patient health information, clinicians must integrate data that spans multiple disease systems and is stored across the electronic health record.

 Health systems generate and store vast amounts of clinical data, requiring structured processes to ensure that secondary use of the data is available to researchers in an efficient, ethical, and secure manner.

 This study aims to explore how health informaticists collaborate with multiple stakeholder groups, each possessing varying levels of comfort and competence with health technology and data. stakeholder engagement is highlighted as a crucial skill for health informaticists, necessitated by the differing competency levels among stakeholders.

 Patients with cirrhosis are at high risk for developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), warranting receipt of semiannual surveillance imaging with the potential to identify abnormal liver lesions. Since the implementation of the 21st Century Cures Act's Information Blocking provision, test results are immediately released to patients through the patient portal. There is an increasing trend of patients reviewing their results before their providers.

 Drug-drug interaction (DDI) alerts in electronic systems are frequently implemented to minimize the occurrence of preventable DDIs. While prescribers recognize the potential benefits of DDI alerts, a large proportion are overridden by users.

 With an aging population preferring to age in place, there's a need for efficient health monitoring systems in eldercare. This study assesses the effectiveness of a linguistic summary alert system compared with a standard health alert system requiring data visualization interpretation by clinicians.

 Not all patients at risk for opioid overdose are prescribed naloxone when discharged from the emergency department or hospital. Clinical decision support (CDS) can be used to promote clinical best practices, such as naloxone prescribing; however, it may be ignored due to knowledge deficiencies or alert fatigue.

 This study aimed to explore clinicians' perceptions and preferences of prototype intelligence augmentation (IA)-based visualization displays of in-hospital deterioration risk scores to inform future user interface design and implementation in clinical care.

 This study aimed to demonstrate real-world use of the Making Electronic Data More Available for Research and Public Health (MedMorph) Reference Architecture (RA) for automated exchange of hepatitis C-related data for public health surveillance and research using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR).

The use of electronic health records (EHRs) in research demands robust and interoperable systems. By linking biorepositories to EHR algorithms, researchers can efficiently identify cases and controls for large observational studies (e.g., genome-wide association studies). This is critical for ensuring efficient and cost-effective research. However, the lack of standardized metadata and algorithms across different EHRs complicates their sharing and application. Our study presents an example of a successful implementation and [...]
