We sought to characterize indicators of digital literacy among persons testing for COVID-19 and community health workers (CHWs) providing testing via a digital platform in low-income, majority-Latino communities in California.

We propose and validate a domain knowledge-driven classification model for diagnosing post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), also known as Long COVID, using Electronic Health Records (EHRs) data.

In 2016, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Department of Energy (DOE) established an Interagency Agreement (IAA), the Million Veteran Program-Computational Health Analytics for Medical Precision to Improve Outcomes Now (MVP-CHAMPION) research collaboration.

Research on firearm violence is largely limited to people who experienced acute bodily trauma and death which is readily gathered from Inpatient and Emergency Department settings and mortality data. Exposures to firearm violence, such as witnessing firearm violence or losing a loved one to firearm violence, are not routinely collected in health care. As a result, the true public health burden of firearm violence is underestimated. Clinical notes from electronic [...]

Health systems are increasingly accountable for patients and require accurate electronic health record (EHR) vital status. We recently demonstrated that 19% of seriously ill primary care patients in one system were not marked dead in the EHR and 80% of these decedents had an encounter or appointment outstanding after death. Herein we describe the mechanism of identifying decedents whose death is not captured at the level of the EHR, characterize [...]

To determine whether the addition of a primary aldosteronism (PA) predictive model to a secondary hypertension decision support tool increases screening for PA in a primary care setting.

Extracting the sample size from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) remains a challenge to developing better search functionalities or automating systematic reviews. Most current approaches rely on the sample size being explicitly mentioned in the abstract. The objective of this study was, therefore, to develop and validate additional approaches.

Adverse Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) are considered major obstacles to effective management of type-2 diabetes. This study aims to quantify the impact of SDoH factors on diabetes management outcomes.

This perspective summarizes key themes that arose from stakeholder discussions at the inaugural Clinical Decision Support Innovation Collaborative (CDSiC) 2023 Annual Meeting. The CDSiC is an Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)-funded innovation hub for patient-centered clinical decision support (PC CDS).

Implicit bias perpetuates health care inequities and manifests in patient-provider interactions, particularly nonverbal social cues like dominance. We investigated the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for automated communication assessment and feedback during primary care visits to raise clinician awareness of bias in patient interactions.
