 Multicenter precision oncology real-world evidence requires a substantial long-term investment by hospitals to prepare their data and align on common Clinical Research processes and medical definitions. Our team has developed a self-assessment framework to support hospitals and hospital networks to measure their digital maturity and better plan and coordinate those investments. From that framework, we developed PRISM for Cancer Outcomes: PR: agmatic I: nstitutional S: urvey and benchM: arking.

 The lack of feasible and meaningful measures of clinicians' behavior hinders efforts to assess and improve obesity management in pediatric primary care. In this study, we examined the external validity of a novel algorithm, previously validated in a single geographic region, using structured electronic health record (EHR) data to identify phenotypes of clinicians' attention to elevated body mass index (BMI) and weight-related comorbidities.

Shared access provides care partners with a validated and secure method for accessing the patient's portal account using their own login [...]

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

 Health informatics (HI) is a growing field of study, yet sparse data are available on the characteristics of undergraduate HI programs in the United States. The lack of a central location for U.S. HI undergraduate program data has led to a gap in information to support current efforts to promote academic standards in the field and attract potential students.

 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.
