Insights from the Front Lines of Medical Documentation
We explore the root causes of information chaos, designing for clarity, and the thoughtful application of AI in medicine.
Prevalence and Sources of Duplicate Information in the Electronic Medical Record
The prevalence of information duplication (copy-paste) in electronic medical records (EMRs) suggests that it is an adaptive behavior requiring further investigation so that improved documentation systems can be developed.
A Fully Collaborative, Noteless Electronic Medical Record Designed to Minimize Information Chaos: Software Design and Feasibility Study
We propose and build a prototype of the world's first noteless electronic health record, which is built to optimize collaboration and minimize information chaos.
Beyond Notes: Why It Is Time to Abandon an Outdated Documentation Paradigm
The medical chart—including notes, labs, and imaging results—should be reconceptualized as a dynamic, fully collaborative workspace organized by topic rather than time, writer, or data type. This will lead to better clinical outcomes and higher job satisfaction among clinicians, who will suffer less with decreased cognitive burden.
A Web Application for Adrenal Incidentaloma Identification, Tracking, and Management Using Machine Learning
Incidental findings are a common medical problem that are prone to falling through the cracks of the medical system. Building safety net systems to identify, track, and to help manage these potentially dangerous findings can decrease the cognitive burden on physicians and lead to better outcomes for patients. In this manuscript, we present a software system designed to identify adrenal incidentalomas and track them over time.
Task definition, annotated dataset, and supervised natural language processing models for symptom extraction from unstructured clinical notes
We present a clinically motivated task definition, dataset, and simple supervised natural language processing models to demonstrate the feasibility of building clinically applicable information extraction tools
