Feasibility of implementing a hospital-based "opt-out" tobacco-cessation service.
This study assessed the feasibility and outcomes of implementing a hospital-based "opt-out" tobacco-cessation service. The service consisted of a bedside consult and phone follow-up 3, 14, and 30 days after hospital discharge using interactive-voice-response. Findings from this study suggest that an inpatient smoking-cessation service with an "opt-out" approach can positively impact short-term cessation outcomes.

Role of patient-reported outcomes in postsurgical monitoring in oncology.
This article describes the benefits of electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) in postsurgical symptom monitoring for surgical oncology patients; ePROs can identify at-risk patients, provide closer monitoring, and provide a mechanism to identify and treat complications before they worsen. The article also summarizes the literature of ePRO use in surgical oncology.

Enabling open science for health research: Collaborative Informatics Environment for Learning on Health Outcomes (CIELO).
AcademyHealth's Electronic Data Methods (EDM) Forum implemented a proof-of-concept open science platform for health research called the Collaborative Informatics Environment for Learning on Health Outcomes (CIELO). This provided the basis for a vigorous dialogue between stakeholder community members regarding the capabilities that will add the greatest value to an open science platform for the health research community.

Comparison of community health worker-led diabetes medication decision-making support for low-income Latino and African American adults with diabetes using e-health tools versus print materials: a randomized, controlled trial.
This study compared outcomes between community health worker (CHW) use of a tailored, interactive, Web-based, tablet computer-delivered tool specifically developed for the study and use of printed educational materials. In a population of low-income Latino and African American adults with diabetes and relatively low levels of formal education, participants in both CHW-led interventions reported mostly similar improvements in outcomes over 3 months.

An electronic order set for acute myocardial infarction is associated with improved patient outcomes through better adherence to clinical practice guidelines.
The researchers investigated the association between the use of an evidence-based, electronic order set (OS) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and better adherence to clinical practice guidelines among 5,789 patients hospitalized with AMI. They found that use of the electronic OS is associated with increased adherence to evidence-based therapies and lower 30-day mortality.
