Virtual and peer reviews of grant applications at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
This study documents the first six unplanned virtual review (VR) sessions conducted during the 2012 hurricane season at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and their effects on review outcomes. Despite their technical novelty, all of the VR sessions have been successfully conducted to the satisfaction of reviewers and agency organizers. Special emphasis panel reviewers are more receptive to the new technology than study section reviewers.

Emergency physicians' views of direct notification of laboratory and radiology results to patients using the Internet: a multisite survey.
The authors explored emergency physicians' current practices of test result notification and attitudes to direct patient notification of clinically significant abnormal and normal test results. They found that more than half of the emergency physicians were uncomfortable with patients receiving direct notification of normal or abnormal test results. Main concerns were that patients could be anxious, confused, and lacking in the necessary expertise to interpret their results.
