Online healthcare portals provide access to electronic health information and support clinical communication. Almost no studies have examined perspectives on parental portal access. We aimed to characterize parental and adolescent perspectives on parental portal access.

Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) are associated with substantial pediatric morbidity and mortality. The capacity to predict which children with central lines are at greatest risk of CLABSI could inform surveillance and prevention efforts. Our team previously published in silico predictive models for CLABSI.

Frequent premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) can lead to adverse health conditions such as cardiomyopathy. The linear correlation between PVC frequency and heart rate (as positive, negative, or neutral) on a 24-hour Holter recording has been proposed as a way to classify patients and guide treatment with beta-blockers. Our objective was to evaluate the robustness of this classification to measurement methodology, different 24-hour periods, and nonlinear dependencies of PVCs on heart [...]

Electronic health records (EHRs) contain valuable patient information, yet certain aspects of care remain infrequently documented and difficult to extract. Identifying these rarely documented elements requires advanced informatics approaches to uncover clinical documentation patterns that would otherwise remain inaccessible for research and quality improvement.

This study aimed to systematically evaluate the effectiveness and safety of telemedicine in improving the corresponding indicators in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Computer searches of PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were conducted to collect journal articles on randomized controlled trials and clinical trials of telemedicine interventions for RA. A meta-analysis was performed using the risk-of-bias assessment tool Reedman 5.4 software from the Cochrane Handbook.The systematic assessment [...]

Documentation burden contributes to health professional burnout and negatively impacts health professional well-being and patient care quality. Yet, there is a gap in the literature regarding an effective measure to assess the perceived documentation burden of health professionals in a wide range of care settings over time.We developed and administered a pulse survey to trend, with subsequent administrations, the perceived documentation burden of health professionals in all care settings in [...]

Patient portals bridge patient and provider communications but exacerbate physician and nursing burnout. Large language models (LLMs) can generate message responses that are viewed favorably by health care professionals/providers (HCPs); however, these studies have not included diverse message types or new prompt-engineering strategies.Our goal is to investigate and compare the quality and precision of GPT-generated message responses versus real doctor responses across the spectrum of message types within a patient [...]

To quantify differences between (1) stratifying patients by predicted disease onset risk alone and (2) stratifying by predicted disease onset risk and severity of downstream outcomes. We perform a case study of predicting sepsis.

The objective of this work is to demonstrate the value of simulation testing for rapidly evaluating artificial intelligence (AI) products.
