Enabling the unambiguous communication of cancer genetic testing results and the corresponding therapeutic implications of identified genetic variants is of major clinical importance. In this report, we assess the adequacy of the Health Level Seven Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) Genomics Reporting Implementation Guide, version 3 (also known as "FHIR Genomics") for the structured communication of semantic objects typically appearing in real-world somatic testing reports.

To describe the development and early implementation of the Digital Health Equity & Literacy Program (D-HELP), a student-led quality improvement initiative to promote digital health engagement in the emergency department (ED).

Ensuring data quality and maintaining remote accessibility remain key challenges in clinical trials conducted in low-resource settings. Although several software platforms and digital tools attempt to address these challenges, no single, comprehensive solution adequately meets the complex demands of decentralized and intermittently connected trial environments. Consequently, context-specific tools must be developed and adapted to ensure reliable performance under such constraints.

The current study examined the relationship between nursing informatics competency (NIC) and perceived clinical decision-making (CDM) skills among nurses in Saudi Arabia.

The amount of time ambulatory physicians spend in an electronic health record (EHR) outside scheduled hours has grown in recent years and been linked to burnout. Measures provided by EHR vendors can help health systems track EHR use outside scheduled hours, but different measures track different periods of EHR use and none currently tracks all EHR use outside patient scheduled hours. How much vendor-derived measures differ from one another or [...]

Acute care providers lack an easy way to assess their prescribing practices and track future-related care for their patients. Thus, we conducted design evaluations and subject matter expert (SME) design sessions in a user-centered design (UCD) approach to develop an audit and feedback tool that provides individualized, scalable prescribing feedback to clinical providers about their antibiotic and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) prescriptions in unplanned care settings (e.g., emergency department and [...]

While electronic health records (EHRs) have been almost universally adopted in academic health care settings, physician training has lagged in efficient use and application. Especially for trainees, EHR training is often confined to basic EHR onboarding, with few opportunities to develop advanced skills. Moreover, literature on advanced EHR training is sparse, and curricula remain largely unstandardized.

Ambient artificial intelligence scribes are increasingly integrated into electronic health records to reduce documentation burden, but limited data describe their performance in high-complexity pediatric subspecialties.

Intravenous medication administration is a high-risk clinical procedure, where medication errors can lead to adverse consequences. Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines provide recommendations for the administration and monitoring of intravenous infusions. These guidelines are being increasingly integrated into clinical decision support systems (CDSS). The development of CDSS should emphasize nurses as core users, closely align with their clinical workflows, and ultimately create practical, user-friendly tools through thoughtful interface design, functional logic [...]
