To investigate the impact of missing laboratory measurements on sepsis diagnostic delays.

Delirium is a syndrome that leads to severe complications in hospitalized patients, but is considered preventable in many cases. One of the biggest challenges is to identify patients at risk in a hectic clinical routine, as most screening tools cause additional workload. The aim of this study was to validate a machine learning (ML)-based delirium prediction tool on surgical in-patients undergoing a systematic assessment of delirium.

Electronic health records (EHRs) provide opportunities for the development of computable predictive tools. Conventional machine learning methods and deep learning methods have been widely used for this task, with the approach of usually designing one tool for one clinical outcome. Here we developed PheW2P2V, a Phenome-Wide prediction framework using Weighted Patient Vectors. PheW2P2V conducts tailored predictions for phenome-wide phenotypes using numeric representations of patients' past medical records weighted based on [...]

To report lessons from integrating the methods and perspectives of clinical informatics (CI) and implementation science (IS) in the context of Improving the Management of symPtoms during and following Cancer Treatment (IMPACT) Consortium pragmatic trials.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is transitioning from its legacy electronic health record (EHR) to a new commercial EHR in a nationwide, rolling-wave transition. We evaluated clinician and staff experiences to identify strategies to improve future EHR rollouts.

Artificial intelligence tools such as Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) have been used for many health care-related applications; however, there is a lack of research on their capabilities for evaluating morally and/or ethically complex medical decisions. The objective of this study was to assess the moral competence of ChatGPT.

Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) describe a patient's unique experiences with disease or treatment, yet effective use of this information during clinical encounters remains challenging. This project sought to build a PRO based dashboard within the electronic health record (EHR), prioritizing interpretability and utility of PROs for clinical decision-making.

Integrating clinical research into routine clinical care workflows within electronic health record systems (EHRs) can be challenging, expensive, and labor-intensive. This case study presents a large-scale clinical research project conducted entirely within a commercial EHR during the COVID-19 pandemic.
