To characterize emergency department (ED) clinician engagement with electronic health record (EHR)-based social drivers of health (SDOH) data; test whether engagement differs in encounters with opioid use disorder (OUD); and, among OUD encounters, assess whether engagement is associated with medications for OUD (MOUD).

Systematic reviews remain labor-intensive, particularly when extracting methodological details from full texts. Using mediation analysis as a case study, we evaluated whether large language models (LLMs) can match human-expert-level full-text methodological review on key causal assumptions (eg, no unmeasured confounding, temporal ordering) and best practices (eg, sensitivity analyses, interaction assessments, covariate adjustment) for psychiatry and psychology studies.

To develop privacy-enhancing statistical methods for estimating disease risk parameters across multiple electronic health record (EHR) sites with heterogeneous selection mechanisms, avoiding individual-level data sharing. We illustrate their utility via a cross-biobank analysis of smoking and 97 cancer subtypes using NIH All of Us (AOU) and Michigan Genomics Initiative (MGI) data sites.

Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in clinical applications, yet prior studies mainly evaluated their standalone performance on benchmarks or examinations. This study assesses how LLMs support clinicians across specialties, disease contexts, experience levels and decision-making stages.

To assess prevalence, characteristics, and institutional predictors of clinical informatics (CI) education and student organizations in US allopathic (MD) and osteopathic (DO) medical schools.

To enhance the accuracy, interpretability, and robustness of large language models (LLMs) in medical question answering (MedQA).

To conduct a scoping review of bias assessment in studies applying large language models (LLMs) to health data and to synthesize their prevailing conceptualization of bias.

Evaluate whether large language models reason or simply regurgitate training data in clinical diagnosis.

Despite the significant potential for Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSSs) to improve care processes and health outcomes, several barriers hinder their widespread implementation in healthcare. While numerous systematic reviews have summarized potential barriers and facilitators for CDSS implementation, a comprehensive framework to guide and evaluate the implementation of CDSSs in healthcare is lacking. This overview of reviews, aims to establish a framework-GUIDE-CDSS-aimed at guiding and evaluating implementation of CDSSs in [...]

To understand how hospitals receive and use data on patients' health-related social needs (HRSN) from external sources, and how methods of receipt relate to use.
