Patients who receive most care within a single healthcare system (colloquially called a "loyalty cohort" since they typically return to the same providers) have mostly complete data within that organization's electronic health record (EHR). Loyalty cohorts have low data missingness, which can unintentionally bias research results. Using proxies of routine care and healthcare utilization metrics, we compute a per-patient score that identifies a loyalty cohort.

A scoping review identified interventions for optimizing hospital medication alerts post-implementation, and characterized the methods used, the populations studied, and any effects of optimization.

To analyze the nursing diagnostic concordance among users of a clinical decision support system (CDSS), The Electronic Documentation System of the Nursing Process of the University of São Paulo (PROCEnf-USP®), structured according to the Nanda International, Nursing Intervention Classification and Nursing Outcome Classification (NNN) Taxonomy.

Theory-based research of social and behavioral determinants of health (SBDH) found SBDH-related patterns in interventions and outcomes for pregnant/birthing people. The objectives of this study were to replicate the theory-based SBDH study with a new sample, and to compare these findings to a data-driven SBDH study.

Health Level 7®'s (HL7) Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources® (FHIR®) is leading new efforts to make data available to healthcare clinicians, administrators, and leaders. Standardized nursing terminologies were developed to enable nursing's voice and perspective to be visible within the healthcare data ecosystem. The use of these SNTs has been shown to improve care quality and outcomes, and to provide data for knowledge discovery. The role of SNTs in describing assessments [...]

Improved health among older women remains elusive and may be linked to limited knowledge of and interventions targeted to population subgroups. Use of structured community nurse home visit data exploring relationships between client outcomes, phenotypes, and targeted intervention approaches may reveal new understandings of practice effectiveness.

Nursing terminologies like the Omaha System are foundational in realizing the vision of formal representation of social determinants of health (SDOH) data and whole-person health across biological, behavioral, social, and environmental domains. This study objective was to examine standardized consumer-generated SDOH data and resilience (strengths) using the MyStrengths+MyHealth (MSMH) app built using Omaha System. Overall, 19 SDOH concepts were analyzed including 19 Strengths, 175 Challenges, and 76 Needs with additional [...]
