Background: Engagement of clinicians who understand clinical workflows and technology constraints can accelerate the development and implementation of better electronic health record (EHR) designs that improve quality and reduce burnout. Provider builder programs can accelerate clinical informatics education for a broader coalition of clinical specialties.
Objective: In this State of the Art / Best Practice paper, we aim to (1) propose a provider builder maturity model informed by the experience of three institutions using a single EHR vendor (Epic Systems©) and (2) describe the program elements and relationships necessary to advance along this model to yield organizational benefits.
Background: Currently, there is no mathematical model used nationally to determine the medical urgency of patients on the heart transplant waitlist in the United States. While the current organ distribution system accounts for many patient factors, a truly objective model is needed to more reliably stratify patients by their medical acuity.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to develop risk scores (Colorado Heart failure Acuity Risk Model [CHARM] score) to predict mortality in adults waitlisted for heart transplant.
Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to address growing logistical and economic pressures on the health care system by reducing risk, increasing productivity, and improving patient safety; however, implementing digital health technologies can be disruptive. Workforce perception is a powerful indicator of technology use and acceptance, however, there is little research available on the perceptions of allied health professionals (AHPs) toward AI in health care.
Objective: This study aimed to explore AHP perceptions of AI and the opportunities and challenges for its use in health care delivery.
Objective: To determine whether there are differences in healthcare utilization for chronic pain based on location (rural vs urban/suburban) or healthcare system (civilians vs Military Service Members and Veterans [SMVs]) after moderate-severe TBI.
Setting: Eighteen Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems (TBIMS) Centers.
Participants: A total of 1,741 TBIMS participants 1 to 30 years post-injury reporting chronic pain at their most recent follow-up interview.
Purpose: This study examined the effect of resistance training (RT) by itself and in combination with supraphysiological administration of nandrolone decanoate (ND) on the inflammatory, apoptotic, and oxidative stress response in cardiac tissue. The effect of the training and androgen intervention on adiponectin expression, a potential cardio protectant was also examined.
Methods: Forty male C57Bl/6J mice, 3 months of age were randomized into four groups (n = 10 per group).
