A latent variable approach to potential outcomes for emergency department admission decisions.
The authors sought to provide a general framework to evaluate admission decisions from electronic healthcare records. They estimated that while admitting a patient with higher latent needs reduced the 30-day risk of revisiting the emergency department or later being admitted through the emergency department by over 79%, admitting a patient with lower latent needs actually increased these 30-day risks by 3.0% and 7.6%, respectively.

Pharmacogenetic clinical decision support for psychiatric hospitalization: design of the CYP-GUIDES randomized controlled trial.
The CYP-GUIDES (Cytochrome Psychotropic Genotyping Under Investigation for Decision Support) trial aims to establish evidence for clinical pharmacogenetics in psychotropic prescription in severely depressed inpatients. This article describes the design of a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) of CYP2D6 genotype-guided versus standard care psychotropic prescription. The CYP-GUIDES trial will assess whether clinical prescribing guided by CYP2D6 functional status can improve the treatment of psychiatric inpatients, shorten the length of hospitalization, and reduce readmission.
