Patient order management (POM) is a mission-critical task for perioperative workflow. Interface complexity within different EHR systems result in poor usability, increasing documentation burden. POM interfaces were compared across two systems prior to (Cerner SurgiNet) and subsequent to an EHR conversion (Epic). Here we employ a navigational complexity framework useful for examining differences in EHR interface systems. The methodological approach includes 1) expert-based methods-specifically, functional analysis, keystroke level model (KLM) and cognitive walkthrough, and 2) quantitative analysis of observed interactive user behaviors. We found differences in relation to navigational complexity with the SurgiNet interface displaying a higher number of unused POM functions, with 12 in total whereas Epic displayed 7 total functions. As reflected in all measures, Epic facilitated a more streamlined task-focused user experience. The approach enabled us to scrutinize the impact of different EHR interfaces on task performance and usability barriers subsequent to system implementation.

This chapter explores the interplay between morbid obesity and the challenges encountered in colorectal surgery. Understanding the unique considerations in preoperative and intraoperative management along with weight optimization tools such as bariatric surgery emerges as potential mitigators, demonstrating benefits in reducing colorectal cancer risk and improving perioperative outcomes. Furthermore, the pervasive stigma associated with morbid obesity further complicates patient care, emphasizing the need for empathetic and nuanced approaches.

Identification of facial expressions is important to navigate social interactions and associates with developmental outcomes. It is presumed that social competence, behavioral emotion labeling and neural emotional face processing are related, but this has rarely been studied. Here, we investigated these interrelations and their associations with age and sex, in the YOUth cohort (1055 children, 8-11 years old).

Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) has been used to guide radio-frequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for better catheter navigation and less radiation exposure in treating atrial fibrillation (AF). This retrospective cohort study enrolled 227 AF patients undergoing ICE- or traditional fluoroscopy (TF)-guided RFCA for AF in a tertiary hospital. ICE was used more often in patients with atrial tachycardia [odds ratio (OR) 3.

Background: Facial palsy (FP) is a widespread condition affecting over 3 million people annually, with a complex etiology requiring tailored, multidisciplinary management. Despite advancements, there remains a lack of reliable, automated tools for objective pre- and postoperative assessment, limiting progress in treatment optimization. This study introduces the AI Research Metrics Model (CAARISMA ® ARMM) to evaluate FP severity and outcomes following microsurgical gracilis muscle transfer.
