Documentation burden has become an increasing concern as the prevalence of electronic health records (EHRs) has grown. The implementation of a new EHR is an opportunity to measure and improve documentation burden, as well as assess the role of the EHR in clinician workflow. Time-motion observation is the preferred method for evaluating workflow. In this study, we developed and tested the reliability of an interprofessional taxonomy for use in time-motion observation of nursing and physician workflow before and after a new EHR is implemented at a large academic medical center. Inter-observer reliability assessment sessions were conducted while observing both nurses and physicians. Four out of five observers achieved reliability in an average of 5.75 sessions. Our developed taxonomy demonstrated to be reliable for conducting workflow evaluation of both nurses and physicians, with a focus on time and tasks in the EHR.

Background: Virtual follow-up (VFU) has the potential to enhance cancer survivorship care. However, a greater understanding is needed of how VFU can be optimized.
Objective: This study aims to examine how, for whom, and in what contexts VFU works for cancer survivorship care.

Background: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of genomic regions associated with complex diseases but understanding the underlying causal mechanisms remains a significant challenge. The FunGen-xQTL project has addressed this by generating and harmonizing molecular quantitative trait loci (xQTL) across multiple layers of molecular traits in human brains, cerebrospinal fluid, and blood-derived cells relevant to neurodegenerative disorders. Existing approaches for integrating xQTL data with GWAS have typically focused on individual molecular traits in individual QTL layers.

Background: Massively parallel sequencing (MPS) of nucleic acids has been a transformative technology for basic and applied genomic science, increasing efficiencies and decreasing costs to enable studies of unprecedented scope and impact. In clinical settings, these technological and scientific advances have led to the development of tests that are increasingly fast, comprehensive, and more frequently employed. Practitioners of genomic medicine have applied these tools across clinical settings, including diagnosis of inherited disorders and cancers and infectious disease detection and surveillance.
