All together now: findings from a PCORI workshop to align patient-reported outcomes in the electronic health record.
The goal of this paper was to report key findings from a 2013 Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute workshop on patient-reported outcomes, to report a summary of actions that followed from the workshop, and to present resulting recommendations that address patient, clinical and research/quality improvement barriers to regular use.

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.

Assessing trends in tobacco cessation in diverse patient populations.
This study examined change in tobacco use over 4 years among the general population of patients in six diverse health care organizations using electronic medical record data. It found that among smokers who regularly used these care systems, one in seven had achieved long-term cessation after 4 years. The study shows the practicality of using electronic medical records for monitoring patient smoking status over time.

Usability and impact of a computerized clinical decision support intervention designed to reduce urinary catheter utilization and catheter-associated urinary tract infections.
The researchers evaluated the usability and effectiveness of a computerized clinical decision support (CDS) intervention aimed at reducing the duration of urinary tract catheterizations. They found that usability improved to 15% with the revised reminder. The catheter utilization ratio declined over the 3 time periods, as did CAUTIs per 1,000 patient-days. They concluded that the usability of the reminder was highly dependent on its user interface, with a homegrown version of the reminder resulting in higher impact than a stock reminder.
