Trajectories of suicidal ideation over 6 months among 482 outpatients with bipolar disorder.
The researchers aimed to investigate 6-months trajectories of suicidal ideation among adults with bipolar disorder. Using data from the Bipolar CHOICE study, they identified four distinct trajectories and found that more than one in ten adult outpatients with bipolar disorder had moderately increased suicidal ideation throughout 6 months of pharmacotherapy. They recommended that the identified predictors may help clinicians to identify those with additional need for treatment against suicidal thoughts, and future studies need to investigate whether targeted treatment may improve the course of persistent suicidal ideation.

Designing and implementing an electronic patient registry to improve warfarin monitoring in the ambulatory setting.
The researchers designed and implemented an electronic registry in conjunction with a complementary work flow that established an active tracking system leading to improved treatment monitoring for patients on anticoagulation therapy. For the cohort of the 357 patients in the registry, the no-show rate decreased from 31 percent (preimplementation) to 21 percent (postimplementation).
