Monitoring patients in hospital beds using unobtrusive depth sensors.
The researchers presented an approach for patient activity recognition in hospital rooms using depth data collected using a Kinect sensor. They described a technique to reduce false alerts such as pillows falling off the bed or equipment movement. They tested their algorithm on 96 hours obtained in two hospital rooms from the University of Missouri Hospital.

Using language models to identify relevant new information in inpatient clinical notes.
The authors investigated the use of language models for identification of new information in inpatient notes and evaluated their methods using expert-derived reference standards. They found that the average proportion of redundant information was similar between inpatient and outpatient progress notes, and that advanced practice providers tended to have higher rates of redundancy in their notes compared to physicians.

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.
