Whether electronic health record (EHR) design influences clinician diagnostic testing behavior and electronic medical record interventions can improve diagnostic stewardship outcomes are key questions. We leveraged the natural experiment of a recent change in EHR platforms to investigate if changing how 2 commonly misused tests, blood cultures for acid-fast bacilli (AFB) and fungi, are displayed affected their use.

The aim of this study was to pilot an adapted version of an online relationships program with residents in treatment for alcohol and other drugs (AOD). The OurRelationship (OR) Program, which is based on Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy, was piloted in a group-based format to determine whether residents' participation in the program would result in decreases in residents' destructive responses and increases in constructive responses to relationship conflict scenarios as well as reductions in negative affect experienced during these conflict scenarios. Residents ( = 104) across six residential facilities participated in the pilot over 4 weeks.

In this manuscript, we have analyzed a large number of real-world examples of opioid hair concentrations following self-reported consumption of an opioid prescription regimen.
