The aim of this article was to describe a novel methodology for transforming complex nursing care plan data into meaningful variables to assess the impact of nursing care. We extracted standardized care plan data for older adults from the electronic health records of 4 hospitals. We created a palliative care framework with 8 categories. A subset of the data was manually classified under the framework, which was then used to [...]

We examine how physicians and nurses use available communication technologies and identify the implications for communication and patient care based on the theory of workarounds.

Qualitative research, the analysis of nonquantitative and nonquantifiable data through methods such as interviews and observation, is integral to the field of biomedical and health informatics. To demonstrate the integrity and quality of their qualitative research, authors should report important elements of their work. This perspective article offers guidance about reporting components of the research, including theory, the research question, sampling, data collection methods, data analysis, results, and discussion. Addressing [...]

There have been various methods to deal with the erroneous training data in distantly supervised relation extraction (RE), however, their performance is still far from satisfaction. We aimed to deal with the insufficient modeling problem on instance-label correlations for predicting biomedical relations using deep learning and reinforcement learning.

Evidence is scarce regarding the safety of long-term drug use, especially for drugs treating chronic diseases. To bridge this knowledge gap, this research investigated the differences in drug exposure between clinical trials and clinical practice.

The purpose of the study was to explore the theoretical underpinnings of effective clinical decision support (CDS) factors using the comparative effectiveness results.

To assess fairness and bias of a previously validated machine learning opioid misuse classifier.

Healthcare is undergoing a digital transformation, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) aims to help providers navigate the clinical quality improvement landscape. In December 2017, CMS launched the Electronic Clinical Quality Measure (eCQM) Strategy Project. This article consists of 2 parts. The first part describes stakeholder outreach aimed to identify burdens and recommendations related to eCQM implementation and reporting. The second part describes how these burdens were [...]

The study sought to assess the feasibility of replacing the International Classification of Diseases-Tenth Revision-Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) with the International Classification of Diseases-11th Revision (ICD-11) for morbidity coding based on content analysis.

Hundreds of interventional clinical trials have been launched in the United States to identify effective treatment strategies for combating the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. However, to date, only a small fraction of these trials have completed enrollment, delaying the scientific investigation of COVID-19 and its treatment options. This study presents novel metrics to examine the geographic alignment between COVID-19 hotspots and interventional clinical trial sites and evaluate trial access [...]
