Anna Ostropolets, MD, PhD Candidate presents "Data Consult Service Generating New Clinical Evidence at the Point of Care.

The widespread adoption of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) has enabled the use of clinical data for clinical research and practice. Since a significant portion of relevant patient information is embedded in clinical narratives, natural language processing (NLP) techniques such as information extraction have become critical for using EHRs in clinical research. Meanwhile, encoding entire EHR data in a patient representation has shown promising results in predictive modeling, and could help clinical decision making and facilitate translational research. This talk will feature clinical NLP methodologies and applications, and discuss why learning better representations from EHRs is crucial for clinical and translational research.

Nursing Informatics Working Group leaders Dr. Judy Murphy and Dr. Karen Dunn-Lopez sat down with AMIA CEO Tanya Tolpegin and AMIA Board Member Susie Hull to discuss how NIWG can have the biggest impact on the future of nursing.

The employment of medical scribes to document in the electronic health record (EHR) on behalf of providers has become commonplace, but it could pose patient safety risks because scribes most often have no clinical training. This presentation will be based on a pre-COVID study published in JAMIA that investigated the work of scribes and identified best practices to assure that scribe use of the EHR is not a patient safety risk. It will be enhanced with a discussion of the impact of the pandemic on the safe use of scribes.
