Unlocking clinical information embedded in clinical notes has been hindered to a significant degree by domain-specific and context-sensitive language. Identification of note sections and structural document elements has been shown to improve information extraction and dependent downstream clinical natural language processing (NLP) tasks and applications. This study investigates the viability of a dynamic example selection prompting method to section classification using lightweight, open-source large language models (LLMs) as a practical [...]

Screening Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) can reduce the health and social costs associated with unhealthy alcohol use (UAU). Electronic health records (EHRs) can support evidence-based screening practices for UAU and provide performance data needed for quality improvement. The objective of this study was to describe barriers faced by primary care clinics when using EHR systems to support UAU screening and delivery of recommended interventions.

The US healthcare system faces significant challenges, including clinician burnout, operational inefficiencies, and concerns about patient safety. Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly generative AI, has the potential to address these challenges, but its adoption, effectiveness, and barriers to implementation are not well understood.

Machine learning algorithms can advance clinical care, including identifying mental health conditions. These algorithms are often developed without considering the perspectives of the affected populations. This study describes the process of incorporating end-user perspectives into the development and implementation planning of a prediction algorithm for new perinatal depression onset.
