Imputing missing race/ethnicity in pediatric electronic health records: Reducing bias with use of U.S. census location and surname data.
The researchers assessed the utility of imputing race/ethnicity using U.S. Census race/ethnicity, residential address, and surname information compared to standard missing data methods in a pediatric cohort. In a simulation experiment, they constructed dichotomous and continuous outcomes with pre-specified associations with known race/ethnicity. They found that imputation using U.S. Census information reduced bias for both continuous and dichotomous outcomes.

Safer design - composable EHRs and mechanisms for safety.
In this paper, the author discussed how the different drag/drop interaction paradigm has implications for health IT safety via several mechanisms. These mechanisms included display fragmentation and the need to changeably prioritize information elements, interruptions, fit to tasks and contexts, and rapid changeability allowing low-cost readjustments when lack of fit is found.

Trends in public perceptions of electronic health records during early years of meaningful use.
To track consumer perceptions of EHRs during this period, the researchers conducted a national telephone survey annually for 3 consecutive years, from 2011 to 2013, corresponding with the early years of Meaningful Use. They concluded that during the early years of the MU program, exposure to EHRs increased while confidence in the benefits of EHRs and concerns about privacy risks became less marked.

Computer decision support changes physician practice but not knowledge regarding autism spectrum disorders.
This study examined whether adding an autism module promoting adherence to clinical guidelines to an existing computer decision support system (CDSS) changed physician knowledge and self-reported clinical practice. It found that a CDSS module to improve primary care management of ASD in pediatric practice led to significant improvements in physician-reported use of validated screening tools to screen for ASDs.

Connecting the dots: health information technology expansion and health disparities.
The authors argue that early evidence links EHR and portal use to better healthcare processes and health outcomes. Promoting patient engagement with health technology such as portals is challenging, and rapid expansion of portals could exacerbate existing healthcare disparities if only well-resourced individuals use these websites.

Comparison of consumers' views on electronic data sharing for healthcare and research.
The researchers surveyed California consumers to learn their views of privacy, security, and consent in electronic data sharing for healthcare and research together. They found considerable concern that health information exchanges will worsen privacy (40.3 percent) and security (42.5 percent). Consumers are in favor of electronic data sharing but elements of transparency are important: individual control, who has access, and the purpose for use of data.

Linking acknowledgement to action: closing the loop on non-urgent, clinically significant test results in the electronic health record.
This study measured use of an acknowledgment tool by 146 primary care physicians (PCPs) at 13 network-affiliated practices that use the same EHR. It then surveyed PCPs to assess use of, satisfaction with, and desired enhancements to the acknowledgment tool. Most (64 percent) were satisfied with the tool. Both satisfied and nonsatisfied PCPs reported that enhancements linking acknowledgment to routine actions would be useful.

Prevalence and risk profile of unread messages to patients in a patient web portal.
The researchers sought to assess the prevalence and risk profile of unread messages in a mature patient portal. They found that overall, secure messaging appears a safe form of communication, but systems to notify senders when messages are unread may have value. While most clinical messages were read, many outreach messages were not.

The invisible work of personal health information management among people with multiple chronic conditions: qualitative interview study among patients and providers.
The researchers conducted a semistructured interview study with 22 patients with multiple chronic conditions (MCC) with the objective of exploring their role in managing their personal health information. They concluded that personal health information management should be recognized as an additional burden that MCC places upon patients. Their findings suggest that both provider-centered and patient-centered information technologies will continue to be needed.

Releasing test results directly to patients: a multisite survey of physician perspectives.
The researchers conducted a cross-sectional survey to explore physician perspectives about direct test result notification to patients in two countries, the U.S. and Australia. They found that physicians have substantial concerns about direct notification of test results. Most concerns are about abnormal test results and more specifically about sensitive tests although physicians are generally in favor of direct notification of normal test results to patients.
