After-visit summaries in primary care: mixed methods results from a literature review and stakeholder interviews.
This literature review examined the perception of the value of after visit summaries (AVS) in primary care practices to both patients and providers. Seventeen studies were identified, and overall patients reported a higher perceived value of AVS than providers. Even so, key informants found that AVS included incorrect information and that they weren’t being used to their potential to help educate patients.

The new era of precision population health: insights for the All of Us Research Program and beyond.
This paper addresses the new era of precision population health. Although precision medicine has made advances in individualized patient treatments, the authors assert that there needs to be continued attention on tailored population health and prevention strategies. They provide specific recommendations from the All of Us Research Program and the Precision Public Health Summit as examples for moving this field forward.

Feasibility and acceptability of real-time antiretroviral adherence monitoring among depressed women living with HIV in the deep south of the US.
The purpose of this study was to present feasibility and acceptability data on the use of an electronic adherence monitor (EAM) among African American women in remote areas of the Southeastern United States with HIV and co-occurring depression. EAM and self-reported antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence was monitored among 25 participants recruited at four HIV clinics in Alabama. Intra-class correlation showed a low degree of concordance between EAM and self-reported adherence. 83% of data collected via EAM was transmitted in real-time; the remainder was delayed though technological failures or was lost entirely. The authors conclude that EAM monitoring is feasible in a rural US setting but that technological difficulties may impede the device's usefulness for just-in-time adherence interventions.

Cost-effectiveness of a computerized provider order entry system in improving medication safety ambulatory care.
The study objective was to estimate the cost-effectiveness of computerized provider order entry versus traditional paper-based prescribing in reducing medications errors and adverse drug events in the ambulatory setting of mid-sized medical group. Using a decision-analytic model, the researchers found that the adoption of CPOE in the ambulatory setting provides excellent value for the investment.
