An Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a longitudinal electronic record of patient health information generated by one or more encounters in any care delivery setting. Included in this information are patient demographics, progress notes, problems, medications, vital signs, past medical history, immunizations, laboratory data, and radiology reports. The EHR automates and streamlines the clinician's workflow. The EHR has the ability to generate a complete record of a clinical patient encounter, as well as supporting other care-related activities directly or indirectly via interface—including evidence-based decision support, quality management, and outcomes reporting.
Research indicates elevated cardiovascular risk in vitiligo patients, underscoring the necessity for enhanced monitoring and preventive healthcare measures.
Since their introduction last year, researchers have been monitoring the real-world impact of the new respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines.
From 2010 to 2023, GLP-1RAs and SGLT2 inhibitors saw rising prescriptions in type 1 diabetes, particularly for patients with obesity and cardiorenal risks.
A study identifies motor delay and hypotonia as key predictors of genetic diagnoses, aiding clinicians in neurodevelopmental care and genetic testing decisions.
Researchers found that children who contracted COVID-19 were at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes within six months, compared to those with other respiratory infections.
Half of all patients with sepsis admitted to an emergency medical department died within two years, according to Danish researchers investigating factors that could predict outcomes for these patients.
The University of Pennsylvania Prevention Research Center (UPenn PRC) has been awarded a grant totaling $6.5 million over five years from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to work with communities in the Philadelphia area to develop, test, and evaluate solutions to public health problems, with a particular focus on cancer.
Timely identification and treatment of bothersome hot flashes have the potential to improve the lives of many women and save employers countless days of related absenteeism and lost work productivity. Yet, a new study finds that such symptoms are often not documented in electronic health records (EHRs) or not adequately addressed during primary care visits.
Harmful diagnostic errors may be occurring in as many as 1 in every 14 (7%) hospital patients-;at least those receiving general medical care-;suggest the findings of a single center study in the US, published online in the journal BMJ Quality & Safety.
Health care is more than doctor visits; it's a team effort. But most artificial intelligence-driven technologies built on patient data use only the information provided by physicians, omitting crucial input from nurses and rehabilitation therapists.
Unintentional injuries like falls, drownings and poisonings are the leading cause of death in patients ages 1-4, and a significant portion of these deaths are linked to unintentional ingestions-;such as swallowing a drug or poison.
Risk calculators are used to evaluate disease risk for millions of patients, making their accuracy crucial.
An investment today of an additional US$0.24 per patient per year in digital health interventions, such as telemedicine, mobile messaging and chatbots, can help save more than 2 million lives from noncommunicable diseases over the next decade, says a new report released jointly by the World Health Organization (WHO) and ITU (International Telecommunication Union).
Risk calculators are used to evaluate disease risk for millions of patients, making their accuracy crucial. But when national models are adapted for local populations, they often deteriorate, losing accuracy and interpretability.
Doctors and pharmacists treating people with blood thinners can reduce the rate of inappropriate dosing -; as well as blood clots and strokes that can result from it -; using an electronic patient management system, a study suggests.
A Cleveland Clinic research team has published the first study assessing the independent real-world impacts of weight loss and blood sugar control on clinical outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes treated with antidiabetic medications, and specifically with GLP-1RAs (the class of drug that includes Ozempic and Wegovy).
Led by Helmholtz Munich, scientists have developed an accessible software solution specifically designed for the analysis of complex medical health data.
A new study by investigators from Mass General Brigham has found that obesity may be an important risk factor for infection from the virus that causes COVID-19.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has practically limitless applications in healthcare, ranging from auto-drafting patient messages in MyChart to optimizing organ transplantation and improving tumor removal accuracy.
The groundbreaking ChatGPT chatbot shows potential as a time-saving tool for responding to patient questions sent to the urologist's office, suggests a study in the September issue of Urology Practice, an Official Journal of the American Urological Association. The journal is published in the Lippincott portfolio by Wolters Kluwer.
