Electronic health records (EHRs) lack a widely adopted standard for recording transgender and gender diverse (TGD) status, complicating research on TGD health. Computational models have been developed to identify TGD individuals in EHRs; however, gaps remain in understanding which components contribute to stronger phenotyping approaches. This scoping review evaluates EHR-based models for identifying TGD individuals, focusing on identifier types, performance, external validation, and ethical reporting to guide best practices.

To report on the feasibility of a simultaneous, enterprise-wide deployment of EHR-integrated ambient scribe technology across a large academic health system.

This study aims to evaluate physicians' practices and perspectives regarding large language models (LLMs) in healthcare settings.

Estimating readmission risk for intensive care unit (ICU) patients is critical for clinicians to optimize resource allocation and prevent premature discharges. Machine learning models currently applied to this task either lack interpretability or cannot identify patient subgroups with distinctive readmission risks and characteristics. We addressed this gap by introducing a cutting-edge rule-based model, namely truly unordered rule sets (TURS), to reveal heterogeneous readmission risks and subgroup-level patient characteristics.

To inform initiatives to improve the interoperability of healthcare data, we described the experience of distinct phenotypes of physicians when obtaining information from outside sources.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) supports efforts to address critical challenges in advancing cancer research. As part of this effort, NCI sponsored the development of a privacy-preserving record linkage (PPRL) software that transforms identifying patient information into multiple tokens through a set of cryptographically secure keyed hash functions. This project aims to evaluate the PPRL software in the perspective of re-identification risks [...]

To support ambulatory care innovation, we created Observer, a multimodal dataset comprising videotaped outpatient visits, electronic health record (EHR) data, and structured surveys. This paper describes the data collection procedures and summarizes the clinical and contextual features of the dataset.

To develop a transfer-learning Bayesian sparse logistic regression model that transfers information learned from one dataset to another by using an informed prior to facilitate model fitting in small-sample clinical patient-level prediction problems that suffer from a lack of available information.

This content analysis study investigates potential biases in image generation by 2 artificial intelligence (AI) tools, DALL-E 3 and Midjourney, in portraying older adults and individuals living with dementia. Despite widespread use of generative AI in various sectors, there is limited research on how these models might perpetuate stereotypes and stigmatization through their images.

Large language models' (LLMs') performance in high-stakes, compliance-driven settings such as drafting clinical research documents remains underexplored. This study aims to build a benchmark and an evaluation framework for assessing LLMs' compliance and factuality in generating informed consent forms (ICFs) from clinical trial protocols.
