 Automation of test follow-up offers potential reductions in workload for clinicians. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the performance of MicrobEx, a regular expression-based algorithm in classifying urine culture reports in primary care.

 Patients with cirrhosis are at high risk for developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), warranting receipt of semiannual surveillance imaging with the potential to identify abnormal liver lesions. Since the implementation of the 21st Century Cures Act's Information Blocking provision, test results are immediately released to patients through the patient portal. There is an increasing trend of patients reviewing their results before their providers.

 Drug-drug interaction (DDI) alerts in electronic systems are frequently implemented to minimize the occurrence of preventable DDIs. While prescribers recognize the potential benefits of DDI alerts, a large proportion are overridden by users.

 Engagement of clinicians who understand clinical workflows and technology constraints can accelerate the development and implementation of better electronic health record (EHR) designs that improve quality and reduce burnout. Provider builder programs can accelerate clinical informatics education for a broader coalition of clinical specialties.

 Effective data management is critical in medical informatics research, ensuring the success and integrity of clinical studies. However, students often lack comprehensive training in this area, highlighting the need for tailored educational programs.

The use of electronic health records (EHRs) in research demands robust and interoperable systems. By linking biorepositories to EHR algorithms, researchers can efficiently identify cases and controls for large observational studies (e.g., genome-wide association studies). This is critical for ensuring efficient and cost-effective research. However, the lack of standardized metadata and algorithms across different EHRs complicates their sharing and application. Our study presents an example of a successful implementation and [...]

 This study aimed to develop a measure of health information exchange (HIE) for characterizing the density of inter-hospital HIE connections and identify regional characteristics associated with HIE network density.

 This study seeks to understand pediatric rheumatology patients' and caregivers' utilization and perceptions of immediate access to their electronic health information (EHI) via patient portals.

 This study aimed to demonstrate real-world use of the Making Electronic Data More Available for Research and Public Health (MedMorph) Reference Architecture (RA) for automated exchange of hepatitis C-related data for public health surveillance and research using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR).

 The "cancer risk calculator" mobile application aims to inform patients about their personal risks of cancer and the risk factors influencing said risks. The present analysis examines the responses to a questionnaire submitted by oncology patients treated with radiotherapy or their family members.
