BACKGROUND: Potentially inappropriate prescribing in outpatient care contributes to adverse outcomes and health care inefficiencies. Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) offer promising solutions, but their effectiveness is often constrained by i...
Current approaches to understanding medication ordering errors rely on relatively small manually captured error samples. These approaches are resource-intensive, do not scale for computerized provider order entry (CPOE) systems, and are likely to mis...

In a general inpatient population, we predicted patient-specific medication orders based on structured information in the electronic health record (EHR). Data on over three million medication orders from an academic medical center were used to train ...
In the first part of this series, we introduced the tools of Big Data, including Not Only Standard Query Language data warehouse, natural language processing (NLP), optical character recognition (OCR), and Internet of Things (IoT). There are nuances ...
This study aims at developing SuperOrder, an order recommendation system for outpatient clinics. Using the electronic health record data available at midnight, SuperOrder predicts the order contents for each upcoming appointment on a daily basis. A t...
Purpose To evaluate the performance of an artificial intelligence (AI) tool using a deep learning algorithm for detecting hemorrhage, mass effect, or hydrocephalus (HMH) at non-contrast material-enhanced head computed tomographic (CT) examinations an...
