A Call to Action for Optimizing the Electronic Health Record in the Parenteral Nutrition Workflow: Executive Summary.

Parenteral nutrition (PN) is a complex therapeutic modality provided to neonates, children, and adults for various indications. Surveys have shown that current electronic health record (EHR) systems are in need of functionality enhancement for safe and optimal delivery of PN. This is a consensus statement from the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists outlining some of the key challenges to prescribing, order review/verification, compounding, and administration of PN using EHRs today and is a call to action for clinicians and vendors to optimize their EHRs regarding the PN build and workflow.

Feasibility of Ideal Cardiovascular Health Evaluation in a Pediatric Clinic Setting.

The feasibility of "point-of-care" screening for ideal cardiovascular health was explored in a pediatric specialty clinic setting. Children and adolescents aged 9-18 years (n=91) with treated and stabilized diseases were recruited at a pediatric endocrinology clinic. A table-top device was used to assay fingerstick samples for non-HDL cholesterol (non-HDL-C), which was used to divide participants into two groups based on the non-HDL-C threshold for comparison of the remaining metrics between groups.

The associations between diet and physical activity with body composition and walking a timed distance in adults with Prader-Willi syndrome.

Background: Research on aging in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is limited, although people with PWS are living longer. Individuals with PWS present with high fat mass, low lean mass, and low levels of physical activity (PA). Previous reports in children and young adults with PWS show inadequate nutrient intake and body fat percentage indicating obesity.

Eligibility requirements for advanced health informatics certification.

AMIA is leading the effort to strengthen the health informatics profession by creating an advanced health informatics certification (AHIC) for individuals whose informatics work directly impacts the practice of health care, public health, or personal health. The AMIA Board of Directors has endorsed a set of proposed AHIC eligibility requirements that will be presented to the future AHIC certifying entity for adoption. These requirements specifically establish who will be eligible to sit for the AHIC examination and more generally signal the depth and breadth of knowledge and experience expected from certified individuals.

Follow-Up Survey on Functionality of Nutrition Documentation and Ordering Nutrition Therapy in Currently Available Electronic Health Record Systems.

Background: This is a follow-up survey to reassess the safety and efficacy of nutrition content in the available electronic health record (EHR) systems.

Materials And Methods: Members of the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (A.S.

Use of personal digital assistants among dietitians and dietetic students in Oklahoma: should programs incorporate PDA training into their curricula?

The objective of this study was to assess the use of personal digital assistants (PDAs) among dietitians and dietetic students in Oklahoma and the desire for training in the use of PDAs. A survey was mailed to 648 dietitians and dietetic students to assess their PDA use and interest in PDA training. Frequency and percentage of responses were determined.
