Hospital cardiac arrest resuscitation practice in the United States: a nationally representative survey.
The authors describe variance in in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) resuscitation care among hospitals. Their survey of 100 hospitals found wide variability among hospitals and practices for resuscitation care in the U.S. with opportunities for improvement, for example, in training.

Validity of deterministic record linkage using multiple indirect personal identifiers: linking a large registry to claims data.
The researchers compared the validity of several deterministic record linkage methods with multiple indirect identifiers by using data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) registry and administrative Medicare inpatient claims data. Linkage rules using 2 or 3 indirect, patient-level identifiers and hospital ID produced linkages with sensitivity of 95% and specificity of 98% compared with a gold standard linkage rule.

Electronic health record use, intensity of hospital care, and patient outcomes.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether a metric for measuring intensity of hospital care based on use of the electronic health record was associated with patient-level outcomes. The investigators found that intensity of inpatient care, measured by electronic health record interactions, significantly diminished from Friday to Saturday, and this decrease was associated with length of stay.
