Clinicians frequently face questions that require rapid, evidence-based answers. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly used for this purpose, yet their reliability for clinical decision-making remains uncertain.

A potential limitation of current data segmentation technologies is that pertinent contextual information accessible via the patient's electronic health records (EHRs) is not used to make segmentation inferences.

Protecting sensitive health information, particularly substance use data, is essential to preserving patient trust, improving care engagement, and ensuring compliance with federal confidentiality laws such as 42 CFR Part 2. Manual segmentation of sensitive data remains burdensome and error-prone, creating a need for scalable, automated, and patient-centered data segmentation technologies.

Physician burnout, often driven by documentation burden in electronic health records, remains a major challenge in clinical care. Ambient artificial intelligence (AI) scribes generate draft notes from clinical encounters, offering a scalable approach to reduce administrative workload, yet population-level evaluations remain limited.

This study aimed to develop and validate a targeted set of clinical rules embedded within a clinical decision support system to support safer antimicrobial dosing in patients with impaired renal function and to assist antimicrobial stewardship activities.

Parents of children with rare and serious illnesses often have unmet information needs. Large language models (LLMs) can help parents seek medical information. However, few studies have observed parents' use of LLMs or how they would use it in conjunction with their patient portal.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic spurred a tremendous increase in the adoption and use of remote patient monitoring (RPM) for hypertension (HTN) management. However, limited evidence exists on the associations between frequency of utilization and uncontrolled blood pressure (BP).

Sepsis remains a leading cause of death for burn patients, yet the condition is hard to spot early. Hospitals generally rely on the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes for surveillance, but these codes are assigned late and often miss active cases.

Hospital supply rooms are dense, vertically complex environments where clinicians may lose time locating items. Existing text-based inventory logs require mental translation from alphanumeric codes to physical space, adding cognitive load during time-sensitive tasks. Despite growing use of digital twins in health care, this technology has been underreported in supply room navigation.
