Accurate triage in emergency departments (ED) is critical for appropriate resource allocation. While artificial intelligence (AI) has been explored for triage, prior models relied on summarized clinical scenarios. We aimed to develop and evaluate large language models (LLMs) trained on real-world clinical conversations to classify patient urgency.

To explore the complexities of eliminating race correction in clinical artificial intelligence (AI), the pitfalls of naive solutions, and to propose systematic strategies for equitable model development.

To evaluate the performance of a locally deployed adaptation of TrialGPT, a large language model (LLM) system for identifying trial-eligible patients from unstructured electronic health record (EHR) data.

This study explores the use of advanced natural language processing (NLP) techniques to enhance food classification and dietary analysis using raw text input from a diet tracking app.

Mapping clinical classification systems, such as the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), is essential yet challenging. While the manual mapping method remains labor-intensive and lacks scalability, existing embedding-based automatic mapping methods, particularly those leveraging transformer-based pretrained encoders, encounter 2 persistent challenges: (1) linguistic variation and (2) varying granular details in clinical conditions.

Federated Ecosystems for Analytics and Standardized Technologies (FEAST) is a modular, cloud-based platform developed through the ARPA-H Biomedical Data Fabric initiative to enable secure, federated analysis of real-world biomedical data. To guide and iteratively refine its modular design, the FEAST team conducted a cross-institutional survey to systematically identify and prioritize research needs related to authorized-access data across diverse biomedical domains. This study presents a structured synthesis of submitted use cases [...]

Advancing health through informatics requires attending to justice. Recent policy changes in the United States have introduced significant barriers to promoting justice within informatics due to targeted funding cuts and hostility to science, especially science that prioritizes justice.

To highlight the importance of reporting negative results in large language model (LLM) research, particularly as these systems are increasingly integrated into healthcare.

Accurate phenotyping is an essential task for researchers utilizing electronic health record (EHR)-linked biobank programs like the All of Us Research Program to study human genetics. However, little guidance is available on how to select an EHR-based phenotyping procedure that maximizes downstream statistical power. This study aims to estimate accuracy of three phenotype definitions of ovarian, female breast, and colorectal cancers in All of Us (v7 release) and determine which [...]

To characterize the nature and consequence(s) of interdependent physician electronic health record (EHR) work across inpatient shifts.
