Purpose: Health information exchange (HIE) improves healthcare quality, but is underutilized by providers. This study used a nationally representative survey of ambulatory physicians to examine barriers to HIE, and identify which barriers have the greatest impact on providers' use of HIE.

Methods: A pooled sample of 1,292 physicians from the 2018-2019 National Electronic Health Record Survey was used. Univariate statistics described rates and patterns of eight common barriers to HIE. Multivariate logistic regression examined the relationship between each barrier and the use of HIE.

Results: Barriers to HIE were common and diverse. Negative attitudes toward HIE's ability to improve clinical quality significantly decreased HIE use (OR = .44, p < .01).

Conclusions: To increase adoption of HIE, efforts should focus on addressing providers' negative attitudes toward HIE. These findings can guide targeted implementation strategies to improve HIE adoption.

Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a perinatal brain injury that is the leading cause of cerebral palsy, developmental delay, and poor cognitive outcomes in children born at term, occurring in about 1.5 out of 1000 births. The only proven therapy for HIE is therapeutic hypothermia.

Learning health system linchpins: information exchange and a common data model.

J Am Med Inform Assoc

Center for Biomedical Informatics, Brown University, Providence, RI 02912, United States.

Objective: To demonstrate the potential for a centrally managed health information exchange standardized to a common data model (HIE-CDM) to facilitate semantic data flow needed to support a learning health system (LHS).

Materials And Methods: The Rhode Island Quality Institute operates the Rhode Island (RI) statewide HIE, which aggregates RI health data for more than half of the state's population from 47 data partners. We standardized HIE data to the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) CDM.

Introduction: Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) is a birth complication due to loss of oxygen flow, resulting in a wide range of physical and cognitive differences often requiring support from multidisciplinary healthcare teams. Despite this population's increased need, little is known about their oral health status and the role of the dentist as a member of the care team.

Methods: A 32-item oral health questionnaire was shared to 8700 members within the patient advocacy non-profit, Hope for HIE's, Facebook group.

Can miRNAs in MSCs-EVs Offer a Potential Treatment for Hypoxic-ischemic Encephalopathy?

Stem Cell Rev Rep

November 2024

Stem Cell Translational Research Center, Tongji Hospital, School of Medicine, Tongji University, Shanghai, China.

Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a critical condition resulting from impaired oxygen and blood flow to the brain during birth, leading to neuroinflammation, neuronal apoptosis, and long-term neurological deficits. Despite the use of therapeutic hypothermia, current treatments remain inadequate in fully preventing brain damage. Recent advances in mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) offer a novel, cell-free therapeutic approach, as these EVs can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and deliver functional microRNAs (miRNAs) to modulate key pathways involved in inflammation and neuroprotection.
