Objective: To identify demographic, social, and clinical factors associated with HIV self-management and evaluate whether the CHAMPS intervention is associated with changes in an individual's HIV self-management.

Method: This study was a secondary data analysis from a randomized controlled trial evaluating the effects of the CHAMPS, a mHealth intervention with community health worker sessions, on HIV self-management in New York City (NYC) and Birmingham. Group comparisons and linear regression analyses identified demographic, social, and clinical factors associated with HIV self-management.

Background: Extensive time spent on documentation in electronic health records (EHRs) impedes patient care and contributes to nurse burnout. Artificial intelligence-based clinical decision support tools within the EHR, such as ChatGPT, can provide care plan recommendations to the perinatal nurse. The lack of explicit methodologies for effectively integrating ChatGPT led to our initiative to build and demonstrate our ChatGPT-4 prompt to support nurse care planning.

Background: Standardized Nursing Languages (SNLs) have enabled nursing assessments and care to be better documented and visible in electronic health records (EHRs). However, its implementation is challenging and heterogeneous across clinical settings. This study aimed to demonstrate the challenges experienced by members of a European nursing organization, ACENDIO, in implementing SNLs in documentation systems across countries and offer recommendations about its use.

Background: The proliferation of health care data in electronic health records (EHRs) is fueling the need for clinical decision support (CDS) that ensures accuracy and reduces cognitive processing and documentation burden. The CDS format can play a key role in achieving the desired outcomes. Building on our laboratory-based pilot study with 60 registered nurses (RNs) from 1 Midwest US metropolitan area indicating the importance of graph literacy (GL), we conducted a fully powered, innovative, national, and web-based randomized controlled trial with 203 RNs.

Current electronic health records (EHRs) are often ineffective in identifying patient priorities and care needs requiring nurses to search a large volume of text to find clinically meaningful information. Our study, part of a larger randomized controlled trial testing nursing care planning clinical decision support coded in standardized nursing languages, focuses on identifying format preferences after random assignment and interaction to 1 of 3 formats (text only, text+table, text+graph). Being assigned to the text+graph significantly increased the preference for graph (P = .

Context: With the expansion of palliative care services in clinical settings, clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) have become increasingly crucial for assisting bedside nurses and other clinicians in improving the quality of care to patients with life-limiting health conditions.

Objectives: To characterize palliative care CDSSs and explore end-users' actions taken, adherence recommendations, and clinical decision time.

Methods: The CINAHL, Embase, and PubMed databases were searched from inception to September 2022.

Background: Poor usability is a primary cause of unintended consequences related to the use of electronic health record (EHR) systems, which negatively impacts patient safety. Due to the cost and time needed to carry out iterative evaluations, many EHR components, such as clinical decision support systems (CDSSs), have not undergone rigorous usability testing prior to their deployment in clinical practice. Usability testing in the predeployment phase is crucial to eliminating usability issues and preventing costly fixes that will be needed if these issues are found after the system's implementation.
