 This study aimed to increase the adoption of revised newborn hyperbilirubinemia guidelines by building a clinical decision support (CDS) tool into templated notes.

Numerous programs have arisen to address interruptive clinical decision support (CDS) with the goals of reducing alert burden and alert fatigue. These programs often have standing committees with broad stakeholder representation, significant governance efforts, and substantial analyst hours to achieve reductions in alert burden which can be difficult for hospital systems to replicate.

 Blood product ordering is a complex process and mistakes can harm patients and lead to poor outcomes. Orders and order sets can be designed to help mitigate errors, but major changes in design can unintentionally cause new errors.

 The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic accelerated the use of telehealth. However, this also exacerbated health care disparities for vulnerable populations.

 Documentation burden is one of the largest contributors to physician burnout. Evaluation and Management (E&M) coding changes were implemented in 2021 to alleviate documentation burden.

 The method of documentation during a clinical encounter may affect the patient-physician relationship.

 Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome noted on approximately one in eight death certificates in the United States. Vital to reducing complications of heart failure and preventing hospital readmissions is adherence to heart failure self-care routines. Mobile health offers promising opportunities for enhancing self-care behaviors by facilitating tracking and timely reminders.

 Over the past 30 years, the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) has played a pivotal role in fostering a collaborative community for professionals in biomedical and health informatics. As an interdisciplinary association, AMIA brings together individuals with clinical, research, and computer expertise and emphasizes the use of data to enhance biomedical research and clinical work. The need for a recognition program within AMIA, acknowledging applied informatics skills by members, led [...]

We present a proof-of-concept digital scribe system as an Emergency Department (ED) consultation call-based clinical conversation summarization pipeline to support clinical documentation, and report its performance.
