Large language models (LLMs) face challenges in inductive thematic analysis, a task requiring deep interpretive, domain-specific expertise. We evaluated the feasibility of using LLMs to replicate expert-driven thematic analysis of social media data.

To develop a data harmonization framework for neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) studies and demonstrate its suitability for prognostic biomarker development.

To evaluate clinical decision support (CDS) of varying complexities and care settings represented using Health Information Technology (HIT) standards-Clinical Quality Language (CQL) for representing clinical logic and Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) for health information exchange.

School violence risk prevention in the United States relies on manual assessments that are time-consuming and subjective. We developed a machine learning algorithm named Automated RIsk Assessment (ARIA), using natural language processing (NLP) to find linguistic patterns in standardized interview questions that can predict risk of aggression. Our goal was to evaluate the incremental change in performance with the addition of each question to simulate situations where interviews cannot be [...]

Measurement-based care (MBC) improves clinical decision-making but remains underutilized in the Veterans Health Administration due to barriers such as provider awareness, time constraints, and user-experience limitations. This study describes the development of the War Related Illness and Injury Study Center Veteran Dashboard (VetDash), a patient-level clinical dashboard designed to integrate the VA's Collect, Share, Act model into the provider workflow.

With extended life expectancy, the number of people in need of care has been growing. To optimally support them, it is important to know the patterns and conditions of their daily life that influence the need for support, and thus, the classification of the care need. In this study, we aim to utilize a large corpus consisting of care benefits applications to do an explorative analysis of factors affecting care [...]

To compare clinical summaries generated from simulated patient primary care electronic health records (EHRs) by GPT-4, to summaries generated by clinicians on multiple domains of quality including utility, concision, accuracy, and bias.

To compare Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC) and Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS) methods for extracting laboratory chemistry data from Veterans Health Administration (VA) electronic health records (EHR).

Digital dashboards are used to monitor patients and improve inpatient outcomes in hospital settings. A systematic review assessed the impact of dashboards across five outcomes of hospital mortality, hospital length of stay (LOS), economic impacts, harms, and patient and carer satisfaction.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that disproportionately affects women and racial/ethnic minority groups. Predicting disease flares is essential for improving patient outcomes, yet few studies integrate both clinical and social determinants of health (SDoH). We therefore developed FLAME (FLAre Machine learning prediction of SLE), a machine learning pipeline that uses electronic health records (EHRs) and contextual-level SDoH to predict 3-month flare risk, emphasizing explainability and fairness.
