Introduction: Rapid identification of individuals developing a psychotic spectrum disorder (PSD) is crucial because untreated psychosis is associated with poor outcomes and decreased treatment response. Lack of recognition of early psychotic symptoms often delays diagnosis, further worsening these outcomes.
Methods: The proposed study is a cross-sectional, retrospective analysis of electronic health record data including clinician documentation and patient-clinician secure messages for patients aged 15-29 years with ≥ 1 primary care encounter between 2017 and 2019 within 2 Kaiser Permanente regions.
Article Synopsis
- Developing a shared data system for health care can help doctors and researchers better understand and treat diseases like sepsis, especially after COVID-19 showed how important real-time data is.
- The Sepsis on FHIR project involves 55 hospitals working together to share information about sepsis using different technology systems.
- In the first phase, researchers looked at various studies to gather important details about sepsis, finding 151 key factors that define it, which will help create a system for sharing this health data more easily in the future.
Objective: To examine the value of health systems data as indicators of emerging COVID-19 activity.
Design: Observational study of health system indicators for the COVID Hotspotting Score (CHOTS) with prospective validation.
Setting And Participants: An integrated healthcare delivery system in Northern California including 21 hospitals and 4.
