 Experiential learning through simulation allows students to apply didactic knowledge to real-world situations. Tabletop simulation allows for the exploration of a variety of topics, including cybersecurity in health care. Due to its low frequency, yet high-risk nature, simulation is a perfect educational modality to practice responding to a cybersecurity attack. As such, the authors designed and executed a tabletop cybersecurity simulation consisting of a prebriefing, four rounds of injects detailing [...]

 There is growing recognition of the need to incorporate informatics education in U.S. residencies. Medical residency training programs are critical in shaping system change and can play a pivotal role by incorporating clinical informatics (CI) based learning into their training requirements.

 We aimed to improve the operational efficiency of clinical staff, including physicians and allied health professionals, in the previsit review of patients by implementing a disease-focused dashboard within the electronic health record system. The dashboard was tailored to the unique requirements of the clinic and patient population.

 Leaders in Informatics, Quality, and Systems (LInQS) is a non-ACGME (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education)-accredited 2-year training program developed to enhance training in the fields of health care delivery, quality improvement (QI), clinical informatics, and leadership.

 Telemetry monitoring is crucial for high-risk patients but excessive use beyond practice standards increases costs. Prior studies have shown that electronic health record (EHR) alerts reduce low-value telemetry monitoring. However, specific components of these alerts that contribute to effectiveness are unknown.

 The integration of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) into clinical care, particularly in the context of cancer and multimorbidity, is crucial. While PROs have the potential to enhance patient-centered care and improve health outcomes through improved symptom assessment, they are not always adequately documented by the health care team.

 This study aimed to highlight the necessity of developing and implementing appropriate reference ranges for transgender and nonbinary (TGNB) patient populations to minimize misinterpretation of laboratory results and ensure equitable health care.

 Graph databases for electronic health record (EHR) data have become a useful tool for clinical research in recent years, but there is a lack of published methods to transform relational databases to a graph database schema. We developed a graph model for the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) common data model (CDM) that can be reused across research institutions.

 Treatment of depressive symptoms in older adults is a growing public health concern. Collecting patient-reported outcomes (PROs) may facilitate efficiently scaling psychotherapy for older adults but user-specific tailoring is needed to improve completion.

 This study explores the results of a rapidly implemented no-cost gratitude intervention designed to address student distress during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This intervention focused on shared gratitude journaling with a postimplementation survey of well-being using elements of Seligman's PERMA (Positive emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment) model of well-being.
