The history of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health information technology (HIT) has been characterized by both enormous successes and catastrophic failures. While the VA was once hailed as the way to the future of twenty-first-century health care, many programs h…
The rapid growth of data volume has promoted development of advanced computational methods, particularly machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms, to address challenges emerged in various fields. A key step to solve ML/DL tasks is to find a good data representation …
Burnout among primary care providers, which include physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, can negatively impact patients, providers, and organizations. Researchers have reported that up to 37% of primary care physicians experience burnout, yet the prevalence…
The widespread adoption of electronic health records (EHR) has generated large amounts of data which created new opportunities for advancing healthcare. Deep learning, a subfield of machine learning, has seen a dramatic resurgence in recent years, and holds high potential to sup…
A new hospital in United Arab Emirates (UAE) plans to adopt health information technology (HIT) and become fully digitalized once operational. The hospital has identified a need to assess basic computer literacy of new employees prior to offering them training on various HIT app…
The US Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 embrace the notion that electronic health information is the bedrock of modern healthcare. The overriding concern for any service/entity dealing with electronic health records is ensuring security and privacy of a user's …
The purpose of this study is to investigate factors affecting diffusion of an Electronic Medical Record in the Kuwait Health Care Delivery System (HCDS) from the physicians' perspective. A mixed methodology design including quantitative and qualitative measures was used. The qua…
In healthcare institutions, work must continue 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A team of nurses is needed to provide around-the-clock patient care, and this process requires transfer of patient care responsibilities, a process known as a “handoff.” The present study explored the …
