Optimizing the Implementation of Clinical Predictive Models to Minimize National Costs: Sepsis Case Study

Optimizing the Implementation of Clinical Predictive Models to Minimize National Costs: Sepsis Case Study

Let FNi represent the number of false negatives (ie, the missed cases of sepsis) within a given MDC category, and let Cost_FNi represent the cost of missing sepsis within this category. The miss rate (ie, 1 – sensi) is a quantity that depends on the selection of the risk score threshold within the given MDC category i. Furthermore, let the estimated functional form f( ) provide a mapping from the chosen sensitivity to the false positive rate (or false alarm rate).

Implementation of Patient Engagement Tools in Electronic Health Records to Enhance Patient-Centered Communication: Protocol for Feasibility Evaluation and Preliminary Results

Implementation of Patient Engagement Tools in Electronic Health Records to Enhance Patient-Centered Communication: Protocol for Feasibility Evaluation and Preliminary Results

The key components of the EHR built at UCSDH included the following: (1) a patient previsit questionnaire; (2) a new rooming tab for the staff; and (3) a documentation shortcut (Smart Phrase in Progress Notes) to enable physicians to see what the patient entered and incorporate it into the visit note. Considering organizational preferences, variations in the workflow existed across the three health systems.

The Impact of Inpatient Telemedicine on Personal Protective Equipment Savings During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Cross-sectional Study

The Impact of Inpatient Telemedicine on Personal Protective Equipment Savings During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Cross-sectional Study

Some authors referred to the inpatient telemedicine as “electronic PPE” [4], and a few studies saw a decrease in patient contact, resulting in PPE savings [5,6]. One study among emergency department patients found telemedicine to be associated with a significant reduction in PPE use, without anticipated increase in anxiety and dissatisfaction among patients [6].

Telehealth in the COVID-19 Era: A Balancing Act to Avoid Harm

Several reports have documented the steps to perform a virtual physical examination that can be applied to a wide range of patient encounters [11]. For example, Tanaka et al [12] describe creative ways of performing a virtual orthopedic examination.

Crowdsourcing Diagnosis for Patients With Undiagnosed Illnesses: An Evaluation of CrowdMed

Crowdsourcing Diagnosis for Patients With Undiagnosed Illnesses: An Evaluation of CrowdMed

A recently developed software platform, Crowd Med [10], aims to overcome some limitations of the aforementioned programs, namely; strict eligibility requirements, needed referrals, and limited interaction with patients; by leveraging the “wisdom of the crowd” or crowdsourcing to help undiagnosed or misdiagnosed patients. Crowdsourcing is a “participative online activity” in which a group of individuals of varying knowledge, heterogeneity, and number comes together to solve a problem [11].
