Background: Adverse drug events (ADEs) are understudied in the ambulatory care setting. We aim to estimate the prevalence and characteristics of ADEs in outpatient care using electronic health records (EHRs).
Methods: This cross-sectional study included EHR data for patients who had an outpatient encounter at an academic medical center from 1 October 2018 through 31 December 2019.
Article Synopsis
- The systematic review investigates users' perceptions of AI-enabled decision aids that help facilitate shared decision-making between patients and clinicians with personalized recommendations.* -
- The study analyzed 26 articles which found that patients generally found these decision aids easy to use and helpful, enhancing their commitment to treatment.* -
- However, clinicians raised concerns regarding the accuracy and recency of the information provided, as well as the potential risks of over- or under-treatment, alongside recognizing challenges and biases that need to be managed.*
Objectives: To estimate the frequency, severity, and preventability of adverse events associated with perioperative care, and to describe the setting and professions concerned.
Design: Multicenter retrospective cohort study.
Setting: 11 US hospitals.
Background: Distinguishing between mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early dementia requires both neuropsychological and functional assessment that often relies on caregivers' insights. Contacting a patient's caregiver can be time-consuming in a physician's already-filled workday.
Objective: To assess the utility of a brief, machine learning (ML)-enabled digital cognitive assessment, the Digital Clock and Recall (DCR), for detecting functional dependence.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of a contact-free continuous monitoring system on clinical outcomes including unplanned intensive care unit (ICU) transfer (primary), length of stay (LOS), code blue, and mortality. A secondary aim was to evaluate the return on investment associated with implementing the contact-free continuous monitoring program during the COVID public health emergency.
Methods: An interrupted time series evaluation was conducted to examine the association between the use of contact-free continuous monitoring and clinical outcomes.
