Feasibility of Implementation of a Mobile Digital Personal Health Record to Coordinate Care for Children and Youth With Special Health Care Needs in Primary Care: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study.

Background: Electronic health record (EHR)-integrated digital personal health records (PHRs) via Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) are promising digital health tools to support care coordination (CC) for children and youth with special health care needs but remain widely unadopted; as their adoption grows, mixed methods and implementation research could guide real-world implementation and evaluation.

Objective: This study (1) evaluates the feasibility of an FHIR-enabled digital PHR app for CC for children and youth with special health care needs, (2) characterizes determinants of implementation, and (3) explores associations between adoption and patient- or family-reported outcomes.

Methods: This nonrandomized, single-arm, prospective feasibility trial will test an FHIR-enabled digital PHR app's use among families of children and youth with special health care needs in primary care settings.

Digital solution for follow-up in congenital cardiac surgery.

Background: In this era of public scrutiny, there is an ongoing need for innovative methods for patient follow-up.

Objectives: As part of a quality initiative, we developed an automated post-operative follow-up system for patients following discharge after cardiac surgery at Boston Children's Hospital.

Methods: Discharge Communication (DisCo) is a web-based system developed at Boston Children's Hospital.

Identifying patterns in administrative tasks through structural topic modeling: A study of task definitions, prevalence, and shifts in a mental health practice's operations during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objective: This case study illustrates the use of natural language processing for identifying administrative task categories, prevalence, and shifts necessitated by a major event (the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic) from user-generated data stored as free text in a task management system for a multisite mental health practice with 40 clinicians and 13 administrative staff members.

Materials And Methods: Structural topic modeling was applied on 7079 task sequences from 13 administrative users of a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act-compliant task management platform. Context was obtained through interviews with an expert panel.

Underrepresentation of Phenotypic Variability of 16p13.11 Microduplication Syndrome Assessed With an Online Self-Phenotyping Tool (Phenotypr): Cohort Study.

Background: 16p13.11 microduplication syndrome has a variable presentation and is characterized primarily by neurodevelopmental and physical phenotypes resulting from copy number variation at chromosome 16p13.11.

Pediatrician Attitudes toward Digital Voice Assistant Technology Use in Clinical Practice.

Objective: Digital voice assistant technology provides unique opportunities to enhance clinical practice. We aimed to understand factors influencing pediatric providers' current and potential use of this technology in clinical practice.

Methods: We surveyed pediatric providers regarding current use and interest in voice technology in the workplace.

Issues Identified by Postdischarge Contact after Pediatric Hospitalization: A Multisite Study.

Background: Many hospitals are considering contacting hospitalized patients soon after discharge to help with issues that arise.

Objective: To (1) describe the prevalence of contactidentified postdischarge issues (PDI) and (2) assess characteristics of children with the highest likelihood of having a PDI.

Design, Setting, Patients: A retrospective analysis of hospital-initiated follow-up contact for 12,986 children discharged from January 2012 to July 2015 from 4 US children's hospitals.

A Mobile App Development Guideline for Hospital Settings: Maximizing the Use of and Minimizing the Security Risks of "Bring Your Own Devices" Policies.

Background: Hospitals today are introducing new mobile apps to improve patient care and workflow processes. Mobile device adoption by hospitals fits with present day technology behavior; however, requires a deeper look into hospital device policies and the impact on patients, staff, and technology development. Should hospitals spend thousands to millions of dollars to equip all personnel with a mobile device that is only used in a hospital environment? Allowing health care professionals to use personal mobile devices at work, known as bring-your-own-device (BYOD), has the potential to support both the hospital and its employees to deliver effective and efficient care.
