A Technical Performance Study and Proposed Systematic and Comprehensive Evaluation of an ML-based CDS Solution for Pediatric Asthma.

Achieving optimal care for pediatric asthma patients depends on giving clinicians efficient access to pertinent patient information. Unfortunately, adherence to guidelines or best practices has shown to be challenging, as relevant information is often scattered throughout the patient record in both structured data and unstructured clinical notes. Furthermore, in the absence of supporting tools, the onus of consolidating this information generally falls upon the clinician.

Association of Early and Late Hospital Readmissions with a Novel Housing-Based Socioeconomic Measure.

Background: While socioeconomic status has been linked to hospital readmissions for several conditions, reliable measures of individual socioeconomic status are often not available. HOUSES, a new measure of individual socioeconomic status based upon objective public data about one's housing unit, is inversely associated with overall hospitalization rate but it has not been studied with respect to readmissions.

Purpose: To determine if patients in the lowest HOUSES quartile are more likely to be readmitted within 30 days (short-term) and 180 days (long-term).

Participation of rural patients in clinical trials at a multisite academic medical center.

Objective: Clinical trials, which are mainly conducted in urban medical centers, may be less accessible to rural residents. Our aims were to assess participation and the factors associated with participation of rural residents in clinical trials.

Methods: Using geocoding, the residential address of participants enrolled into clinical trials at Mayo Clinic locations in Arizona, Florida, and the Midwest between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2017, was categorized as urban or rural.
