Workarounds and test results follow-up in electronic health record-based primary care.
This study sought to understand why primary care practitioners use workarounds to manage test results by analyzing data from a previously conducted national cross-sectional survey on test result management. It concluded that workarounds to manage EHR-based test results are common, and their use results from unmet provider information management needs.

Characterizing the structure and content of nurse handoffs: a Sequential Conversational Analysis approach.
This paper describes Sequential Conversational Analysis (SCA) - a mixed-method approach integrating qualitative conversational analysis with quantitative sequential pattern analysis. This approach allows characterization of the nature of nurse handoff communication, highlighting the relationships underlying verbal content. The authors also discuss how SCA can help in understanding the dynamics of communication in other settings.
