Health literacy, vulnerable patients, and health information technology use: where do we go from here?
The authors comment on an article in the same issue that found only 32 percent of older adults used the Internet to get health information and only 10 percent of older adults with limited health literacy did so. They discuss its implications for the related issues of access, training, and perhaps most importantly, the usability of websites and other technology platforms.

Query Health: standards-based, cross-platform population health surveillance.
The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) Query Health Initiative is a collaboration to develop a national architecture for distributed, population-level health queries across diverse clinical systems with disparate data models. The authors review Query Health activities, including a standards-based methodology, an open-source reference implementation, and three pilot projects.

Rethinking the information priorities of patients.
Efforts have intensified to provide consumers with online data tools and consumer reports that offer profiles and statistics for evaluating specialists, hospitals, and other clinical facilities. In this article, the authors examine two key questions: what should these resources look like and do patients really want them?

Clinical questions raised by clinicians at the point of care: a systematic review.
The researchers conducted a systematic review of studies examining the questions that clinicians raise in the context of patient care decisionmaking. They concluded that clinicians frequently raise questions about patient care in their practice. Although they are effective at finding answers to questions they pursue, roughly half of the questions are never pursued.
