Characterizing the utilization of the problem list for pediatric trauma care.
The EHR problem list has the potential to support care coordination among the multidisciplinary care team that cares for pediatric trauma patients. To realize this potential, the need exists to ensure appropriate utilization by formulating acceptable usage and management policy. In this regard, understanding the prevailing utilization pattern is pivotal. To this end, in this study, the investigators analyzed EHR in tandem with trauma registry data at a Level I pediatric trauma center.

Continuity index measures in the acute care hospital setting: an analytic review and tests using electronic health record data and computer simulation.
This study examined continuity index measures in the acute care hospital setting. These measures can be used to examine the influence of nurse staffing patterns on patient outcomes. The researchers examined the behavior of continuity indexes as applied to clinical practice data that were collected with the Hands-On Automated Nursing Data System (HANDS) and data from computer simulation. The findings provided a deep understanding of the conceptual foundations and properties of various continuity measures.
