Rapid telehealth adoption happened at the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, resulting in a move from in-person predominant to telehealth predominant care delivery. Later, in person visits rebounded with telehealth options remaining. This study aimed to assess differences in healthcare utilization during this changing landscape in terms of health equity determinants.

Research on the Epic Sepsis System (ESS) has predominantly focused on technical accuracy, neglecting the user experience of healthcare professionals. Understanding these experiences is crucial for the design of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems in clinical settings. This study aims to explore the socio-technical dynamics affecting ESS adoption and use, based on user perceptions and experiences.

This study investigates the concordance of patient information collected using a medical history app compared to in-person interviews.

The All of Us Evenings with Genetics (EwG) Research Program at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), funded to engage research scholars to work with the All of Us data, developed a training curriculum for the Researcher Workbench, the platform to access and analyze All of Us data. All of Us EwG developed the curriculum so that it could teach scholars regardless of their skills and background in programming languages and [...]

The increasing reliance on electronic health records (EHRs) for research and clinical care necessitates robust methods for assessing data quality and identifying inconsistencies. To address this need, we develop and apply the incongruence rate (IR) using sex-specific medical conditions. We also characterized participants with incongruent records to better understand the scope and nature of data discrepancies.

Research on the conditions under which electronic cigarette (EC) use produces a net reduction in the population harm attributable to combusted cigarette (CC) use requires the triangulation of information from cohort(s) of smokers, non-smokers, EC users, and dual-users of all varieties.

Disparity in kidney transplant access has been demonstrated by a disproportionately low rate of kidney transplantation in socioeconomically disadvantaged patients. However, the information is not from national representative populations with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). We aim to examine whether socioeconomic disparity for kidney transplant access exists by utilizing data from the All of Us Research Program.

Over the last decade, treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has become dependent on tissue and/or blood biomarkers to guide treatment decisions. Timely access to comprehensive biomarker and tumor signature information is crucial for diagnostic testing. With the rapid development and implementation of complex biomarker testing, comprehensive molecular profiling with in-depth analysis of DNA, RNA, and proteins can be easily performed. Initial data from the MedStar [...]

Research on firearm violence is largely limited to people who experienced acute bodily trauma and death which is readily gathered from Inpatient and Emergency Department settings and mortality data. Exposures to firearm violence, such as witnessing firearm violence or losing a loved one to firearm violence, are not routinely collected in health care. As a result, the true public health burden of firearm violence is underestimated. Clinical notes from electronic [...]

To determine whether the addition of a primary aldosteronism (PA) predictive model to a secondary hypertension decision support tool increases screening for PA in a primary care setting.
