To determine the prevalence of initiating the sepsis 3-h bundle of care and estimate effects of bundle completion on risk-adjusted mortality among emergency department (ED) patients screened-in by electronic surveillance.

Computing patients' similarity is of great interest in precision oncology since it supports clustering and subgroup identification, eventually leading to tailored therapies. The availability of large amounts of biomedical data, characterized by large feature sets and sparse content, motivates the development of new methods to compute patient similarities able to fuse heterogeneous data sources with the available knowledge.

To automatically recognize self-acknowledged limitations in clinical research publications to support efforts in improving research transparency.

The Safety Assurance Factors for EHR Resilience (SAFER) guides were released in 2014 to help health systems conduct proactive risk assessment of electronic health record (EHR)- safety related policies, processes, procedures, and configurations. The extent to which SAFER recommendations are followed is unknown.

Consistent with the OpenNotes movement, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) offers patients online access to their clinical notes through the Blue Button feature in its electronic patient health portal, My HealtheVet. We identified demographic, diagnostic, and knowledge-related predictors of viewing clinical notes among veterans receiving VHA mental health care who recently used My HealtheVet.

Electronic health records (EHRs) in physician offices can both enhance and detract from the patient experience. Best practices have emerged focusing on screen sharing. We sought to determine if adding a second monitor, mirroring the EHR for patients, would be welcome and useful for patients and clinicians.

Transgender individuals are vulnerable to negative health risks and outcomes, but research remains limited because data sources, such as electronic medical records (EMRs), lack standardized collection of gender identity information. Most EMR do not include the gold standard of self-identified gender identity, but International Classification of Diseases (ICDs) includes diagnostic codes indicating transgender-related clinical services. However, it is unclear if these codes can indicate transgender status. The objective of this [...]

To analyze literature-based data from PubMed to identify diseases and medications that have frequently been studied with major depressive disorder (MDD).

Translating clinical evidence to daily practice remains a challenge and may improve with clinical pathways. We assessed interest in and usability of clinical pathways by primary care professionals.
