 This study explores the results of a rapidly implemented no-cost gratitude intervention designed to address student distress during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This intervention focused on shared gratitude journaling with a postimplementation survey of well-being using elements of Seligman's PERMA (Positive emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment) model of well-being.

 Leaders in Informatics, Quality, and Systems (LInQS) is a non-ACGME (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education)-accredited 2-year training program developed to enhance training in the fields of health care delivery, quality improvement (QI), clinical informatics, and leadership.

 The electronic health record (EHR) has been associated with provider burnout, exacerbated by increasing In-Basket burden.

 The integration of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) into clinical care, particularly in the context of cancer and multimorbidity, is crucial. While PROs have the potential to enhance patient-centered care and improve health outcomes through improved symptom assessment, they are not always adequately documented by the health care team.

 Evidence supports using patient-generated blood pressure data for better outcomes in hypertension management. However, obstacles like dealing with home-generated paper data sets and questions of validity slowed the meaningful incorporation of home blood pressure into clinical care. As clinicians value patient data more, reliance on digital health solutions for data collection and shared decision-making grows.

 Telemetry monitoring is crucial for high-risk patients but excessive use beyond practice standards increases costs. Prior studies have shown that electronic health record (EHR) alerts reduce low-value telemetry monitoring. However, specific components of these alerts that contribute to effectiveness are unknown.

 We aimed to improve the operational efficiency of clinical staff, including physicians and allied health professionals, in the previsit review of patients by implementing a disease-focused dashboard within the electronic health record system. The dashboard was tailored to the unique requirements of the clinic and patient population.

 The use of artificial intelligence-driven code completion tools, particularly the integration of GitHub Copilot with Visual Studio, has potential implications for Health Informatics education, particularly for students learning SQL and Python.

 This study aimed to assess the desirability, feasibility, and sustainability of integrating a project-based capstone course with the course-based curriculum of an interdisciplinary MSc Health Informatics program guided by a student-partnered steering committee and student-centered approach.
