Background: Rich data on diverse patients and their treatments and outcomes within Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems can be used to generate real world evidence. A health recommender system (HRS) framework can be applied to a decision support system application to generate data summaries for similar patients during the clinical encounter to assist physicians and patients in making evidence-based shared treatment decisions.
Objective: A human-centered design (HCD) process was used to develop a HRS for treatment decision support in orthopaedic medicine, the .
Background: The ability to do comparative effectiveness research (CER) for proximal humerus fractures (PHF) using data in electronic health record (EHR) systems and administrative claims databases was enhanced by the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), which expanded the diagnosis codes for PHF to describe fracture complexity including displacement and the number of fracture parts. However, these expanded codes only enhance secondary use of data for research if the codes selected and recorded correctly reflect the fracture complexity. The objective of this project was to assess the accuracy of ICD-10 diagnosis codes documented during routine clinical practice for secondary use of EHR data.

- * The study compared patients who received the new guideline-based care (42 patients) to those who followed standard care (121 patients) between March 2018 and December 2019, gathering data on opioid prescriptions and patient-reported outcomes.
- * Results showed that those on guideline-based care were prescribed lower amounts of opioids at discharge, but the rates of opioid refill requests and patient-reported outcomes were similar for both groups, suggesting the new guidelines effectively reduced opioid dosages without compromising pain management.
