Two-year longitudinal assessment of physicians' perceptions after replacement of a longstanding homegrown electronic health record: does a J-curve of satisfaction really exist?
This report describes a 2-year prospective, longitudinal survey of attending physicians in 3 clinical areas (family medicine, general pediatrics, internal medicine) who experienced a transition from a homegrown electronic health record (EHR) to a vendor EHR. The primary goal was to determine if perceptions followed a J-curve pattern in which they initially dropped but eventually surpassed baseline measures. A J-curve was not found for any measures, including workflow, safety, communication, and satisfaction.

"We're almost guests in their clinical care": inpatient provider attitudes toward chronic disease management.
The purpose of this study was to explore inpatient provider attitudes about chronic disease management and, in particular, barriers and facilitators of chronic disease management in the hospital. It found that a strong relationship with the outpatient provider and involvement of specialists were facilitators of inpatient chronic disease management. Providers perceived benefits to in-hospital chronic disease management for both processes of care and clinical outcomes.

Comparison of physician implicit racial bias toward adults versus children.
This study compared implicit racial bias toward adults versus children among resident physicians working in a pediatric emergency department. It found that resident physicians have implicit racial bias against black children, similar to levels of bias against black adults. Bias in the study did not vary by resident demographic characteristics, including specialty, suggesting that pediatric residents are as susceptible as other physicians to implicit bias.

Perspectives and uses of the electronic health record among US pediatricians: a national survey.
This survey found that the electronic health record (EHR) was the most commonly used source of initial patient information. Seventy-two percent of 808 pediatricians participating reported requiring between 2 and 10 minutes to complete an initial review of the EHR. Several moderately severe information barriers were reported regarding the display of information in the EHR.

Avoiding alert fatigue in pulmonary embolism decision support: a new method to examine 'trigger rates.'
The authors developed a new and innovative usability process named 'sensitivity and specificity trigger analysis' (SSTA) as part of a larger project around a pulmonary embolism decision support tool. They explored a unique methodology, SSTA, used to limit inaccurate triggering of a clinical decision support tool prior to integration into the electronic health record. They concluded that their methodology can be applied to other studies aiming to decrease triggering rates and increase adoption rates of previously validated clinical decision support system tools.

Increase in cancer center staff effort related to electronic patient portal use.
The authors examined patterns of use of electronic portals by clinic staff at a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center. They found that from 2011 to 2014, staff portal activity increased approximately 10-fold, and sixteen percent of all actions occurred outside clinic hours. They concluded that cancer center employee use of an electronic patient portal has increased markedly over time, particularly among nursing staff.

National characteristics of emergency medical services in frontier and remote areas.
This study sought to describe the national characteristics and outcomes of EMS care provided in frontier and remote (FAR) areas in the continental United States (US). It found that FAR responses were more likely to be of American Indian or Alaska Native race. Age, ethnicity, location type, and clinical impressions were similar between FAR and non-FAR responses. On-scene death was more likely in FAR than non-FAR responses.

Opportunities for surgical leadership in managing population health costs.
The concept of population health management—long a mainstay in primary care and chronic disease management—is taking root in surgery. The 2010 Affordable Care Act (ACA) ushered in the implementation of several innovative payment models that shift accountability for population costs to health systems and providers. The authors discuss the implications of th trends for the surgical profession.

Professional and interprofessional differences in electronic health records use and recognition of safety issues in critically ill patients.
The authors conducted this study to determine how each professional group - physicians, nurses, and pharmacists - reviews electronic health records (EHR) data in preparation for rounds and their ability to identify patient safety issues. They found significant and non-overlapping differences in individual profession recognition of patient safety issues in the EHR which may be attributed to differences in EHR use.

A leadership development program for surgeons: first-year participant evaluation.
The researchers evaluated a Leadership Development Program for practicing surgeons by exploring how the program's strengths and weaknesses affected the surgeons' development as physician-leaders. They found that surgeon-participants reported positive impacts of the program on their day-to-day work activities and general career perspective as well as on their long-term career development plans. The participants also recommended areas where the program could be improved. The authors concluded that a curriculum designed specifically for surgeons may enable future programs to equip surgeons better for important leadership roles in a complex health care environment.

A comparative observational study of inpatient clinical note-entry and reading/retrieval styles adopted by physicians.
The researchers sought to understand physicians' usage of inpatient notes in two Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems. They found that the highest variability was observed with progress notes and the least variability was within discharge summaries, while note-writing styles were most consistent for history and physical notes. Physician preference for adopting a certain reading/retrieval order appeared to be a function of what best fits their workflow while fulfilling the stimulus demands. They also found that time spent entering history and physical, discharge summaries, and progress notes were similar in both EHRs.

Assessment of fidelity in interventions to improve hand hygiene of healthcare workers: a systematic review.
The researchers examined fidelity reporting in interventions to improve hand hygiene compliance and assessed 5 measures of intervention fidelity. They found that participant responsiveness and adherence to the intervention were the most frequently unreported fidelity measures, while quality of the delivery was the most frequently reported measure. To facilitate replication and effective implementation, the authors recommended that reporting fidelity should be standard practice when describing results of complex behavioral interventions such as hand hygiene.

The impact of cognitive stressors in the emergency department on physician implicit racial bias.
The researchers sought to determine if physicians have different levels of implicit racial bias post-ED shift versus preshift and to examine associations between demographics and cognitive stressors (e.g., fatigue, stress, time pressure, and complex decision-making) with bias. They concluded that resident implicit bias remained stable overall preshift to postshift, cognitive stressors (overcrowding and patient load) were associated with increased implicit bias.

Infections and interaction rituals in the organisation: clinician accounts of speaking up or remaining silent in the face of threats to patient safety.
The author examined how clinicians talk about speaking up or not in the face of breaches in infection prevention technique. Mutual focus of attention, interactional path dependence, and the presence of an audience are reasons found that influence the decision to speak up in a clinical setting. This decision is dynamic, highly context-dependent, embedded in the interaction rituals that suffuse everyday work, and constrained by organizational dynamics.

Predictors and outcomes of burnout in primary care physicians.
This study assessed relationships between primary care work conditions, physician burnout, quality of care, and medical errors. It found that burnout is highly associated with adverse work conditions and a greater intention to leave the practice, but not with adverse patient outcomes. Care quality thus appears to be preserved at great personal cost to primary care physicians.

Explaining the growth in US health care spending using state-level variation in income, insurance, and provider market dynamics.
The authors estimated a regression model for state personal health care spending for 1991-2009, then used the results to produce state-level projections of health care spending for 2010-2013 and compared those average projected state values with actual national spending for 2010-2013. They found that at least 70% of the recent slowdown in health care spending can likely be explained by long-standing patterns.
