Use of EHR-based simulation to diagnose aetiology of information gathering issues in struggling learners: a proof of concept study.
The researchers previously documented that high-fidelity EHR-based simulation improves EHR usability and, when combined with eye and screen tracking, generates important measures of usability. They hypothesised that the same simulation exercise could help distinguish whether learners had difficulty in knowledge, information gathering or information processing. In this paper, they report the results of the first three struggling learners who participated in this exercise.

Development and validation of trigger algorithms to identify delays in diagnostic evaluation of gastroenterological cancer.
This study’s authors developed, refined, and tested trigger algorithms that identify patients with delayed follow-up evaluation of findings suspicious of colorectal cancer (CRC) or hepatocellular cancer (HCC). Using data from the Veterans Affairs electronic health record database, the researchers developed an algorithm that greatly reduces the number of record reviews necessary to identify delays in follow-up evaluations for patients with suspected CRC or HCC.
