Fully automated digital interventions show promise for disseminating evidence-based strategies to manage insomnia complaints. However, an important concept often overlooked concerns the extent to which users adopt the recommendations provided in these programs into their daily lives. Our objectives were evaluating users' adherence to the behavioral recommendations provided by an app, and exploring whether users' perceptions of the app had an impact on their adherence behavior.

This work investigates if deep learning (DL) models can classify originating site locations directly from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans with and without correction for intensity differences.

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 [...]

This study aimed to identify temporal risk factor patterns documented in home health care (HHC) clinical notes and examine their association with hospitalizations or emergency department (ED) visits.

Providing 80% of healthcare worldwide, nurses focus on physiologic and psychosocial aspects of health, which incorporate social determinants of health (SDOH). Recognizing their important role in SDOH, nurse informatics scholars included standardized measurable terms that identify and treat issues with SDOH in their classification systems, which have been readily available for over 5 decades. In this Perspective, we assert these currently underutilized nursing classifications would add value to health outcomes [...]

Climate change, an underlying risk driver of natural disasters, threatens the environmental sustainability, planetary health, and sustainable development goals. Incorporating disaster-related health impacts into electronic health records helps to comprehend their impact on populations, clinicians, and healthcare systems. This study aims to: (1) map the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction and International Science Council (UNDRR-ISC) Hazard Information Profiles to SNOMED CT International, a clinical terminology used by clinicians [...]

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 [...]
