Defining Electronic Health Record Standards for Child Health: A State-of-the-Art Review.

Background: Improving child health using health information technology (IT) requires a unique set of functionalities that are built into the electronic health record (EHR) and are used to support patient care. In this article, we review and discuss the milestones preceding the development of a new child health EHR standard and describe the salient features of this contemporary standard.

Methods And Results: The Health Level Seven Pediatric Care Health IT Functional Profile (HL7 PCHIT FP) is an informative standard that encompasses the EHR functions required to care for patients less than 21 years of age in any clinical setting, developed to address the pediatric-specific functionality gaps in the EHR.

An interval of clinically silent gastrointestinal bleed in dysautonomic spinal cord injury: a case report.

Background: Gastrointestinal bleed (GIB) has high incidence in traumatic spinal cord injured (tSCI) patients and can frequently be life-threatening, especially early post-injury. Several risk factors often compound bleeding risk, some are unique to this patient population. Normally, clinical suspicion for GIB arises from symptoms like coffee-ground emesis, hematemesis, melena or even hematochezia.

Developing a Pediatric EHR Testing & Certification Program in the USA: Initial Phase.

In 2016, the 21st Century Cures Act included ONC's 10 functionality recommendations for voluntary testing and certification of pediatric EHRs. Since 2019, Drummond has been developing a new pediatric EHR testing and certification program with pediatric and industry experts. The testing criteria are based upon AAP's 47 requirements that include ONC's 10 recommendations.

Hydrophobic and Hydrogel-Based Methods for Passive Tissue Clearing.

Optical tissue clearing enables the precise imaging of cellular and subcellular structures in whole organs and tissues without the need for physical tissue sectioning. By combining tissue clearing with confocal or lightsheet microscopy, 3D images can be generated of entire specimens for visualization and large-scale data analysis. Here we demonstrate two different passive tissue clearing techniques that are compatible with immunofluorescent staining and lightsheet microscopy: PACT, an aqueous hydrogel-based clearing method, and iDISCO+, an organic solvent-based clearing method.
