Improving patient-provider communication and therapeutic practice through better integration of electronic health records in the exam room: a pilot study.
This study assessed the effectiveness of providing physicians who use electronic health records (EHRs) education for communication strategies and its impact on patient outcomes. The evidence-based Physician Asthma Care Education (PACE) program was extended in a pilot program using 18 providers and 126 adult patients with persistent asthma. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and 3- and 6-month postintervention intervals. Providers who completed the EHR-PACE program felt more confident in communicating with their patients, but there was no significant changes in patient asthma outcomes or their perceptions of their provider’s communication skills.

Did I tell you that? Ethical issues related to using computational methods to discover non-disclosed patient characteristics.
Using the Belmont Report's principles of respect for persons, beneficence, and justice as a framework, the authors examined the ethical issues posed by electronic phenotyping. Ethical issues identified include the ability of the patient to consent for the use of their information, the ability to suppress pediatric information, and ensuring that the potential benefits justify the risks of harm to patients.

Patient-clinician communication: the roadmap for HCI.
The authors discussed their view of a workshop, envisioning opening up a dialogue among researchers and clinicians who wish to discuss directions for future research and focusing on exploring how technologies available today, as well as projected for the future, can support the communication needs of clinicians and patients.
