Pilot study of a brief provider and EMR-based intervention for overweight teens with asthma.
The authors piloted an electronic medical record-based tailored discussion guide (TDG) and a brief provider training to address weight management in overweight teens with asthma. They observed modest improvements in patient-reported asthma outcomes and health behaviors. They found strong evidence that the TDG supports provider discussion of weight and asthma to create a more patient-centered conversation from the perspective of participating teens. They recommended addressing challenges to recruitment and clinic adaptation prior to advancing to a full-scale trial.

Creation of a linked cohort of children and their parents in a large, national electronic health record dataset.
Researchers sought to identify a national cohort of children that link to at least one parent in the same electronic health record dataset and describe their demographics. They were able to link 33% of children to a parent in electronic health record data from a large network of community health centers across the United States. They stated that further analyses utilizing these linkages will allow examination of the multi-level factors that impact a child's receipt of recommended health care.

Stakeholder perspectives in anticipation of sharing physicians' notes with parents of hospitalized children.
Researchers sought to elicit stakeholder perspectives on the anticipated benefits and challenges of sharing hospital physicians' admission and daily progress notes with parents at the bedside during their child's hospitalization and to identify strategies to aid implementation of inpatient note sharing. Focus groups with 34 stakeholders at a children's hospital were conducted. The researchers identified four anticipated benefits of sharing inpatient notes, five expected challenges, and three suggested implementation strategies.
