An electronic health record metadata-mining approach to identifying patient-level interprofessional clinician teams in the intensive care unit.
The purpose of this retrospective analysis of electronic event logs for adult mechanically ventilated patients from ICUs in an academic medical center was to develop a program for extracting interprofessional teams assigned to each patient in each shift. The program demonstrated high precision, recall, and validity for identifying interprofessional teams in ICUs. The authors concluded that algorithmic and artificial intelligence approaches have a strong potential for informing research to optimize patient team assignments and improve ICU care and outcomes.

Early, individualized recommendations for hospitalized patients with acute kidney injury: a randomized clinical trial.
This randomized clinical trial evaluated whether personalized recommendations from a kidney action team improved outcomes for hospitalized patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). The study, conducted across seven hospitals in two health systems, involved 4,003 patients. In the intervention group, a team consisting of a physician and pharmacist delivered customized recommendations through electronic health records within one hour of AKI detection. The primary outcome measured was a composite of AKI progression, dialysis need, or mortality within 14 days of randomization. Despite making 14,539 recommendations and achieving higher implementation rates in the intervention group (33.8% vs 24.3% in usual care), the intervention did not significantly reduce the primary outcome.

Examining diurnal differences in multidisciplinary care teams at a pediatric trauma center using electronic health record data: social network analysis.
The purpose of this study was to apply social network analysis to electronic health record (EHR) data to explore diurnal differences in the multidisciplinary teams caring for pediatric trauma patients. The researchers created an event log comprised of clinical activity metadata obtained from the EHR. The resulting event log was separated into 6 unique event logs, with content based on clinical activity shift (day shift or night shift) and location of the activities (divided by emergency department (ED), pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), and floor). For each event log, social networks were constructed and community overlap identified. The researchers utilized a comparison with qualitative care team data to compare and validate daytime and nighttime network structures for each care location. Validation was assessed via member-checking interviews with clinicians and qualitatively derived care team data, obtained through semi-structured interviews. The study found that of the 413 clinical encounters taking place within the 1-year study period, 65.9% began during the day shift and 34.1% began during the night shift. Multiple communities were identified in the ED and on the floor during the night shift, while a single community was identified in the ED and on the floor during the day shift, and in the PICU during the night shift. Qualitative data results indicated that the networks were accurate representations of the composition and interactions of the care teams. The researchers concluded that social network analysis was an effective method for utilization on EHR data at a pediatric trauma center to explore, identify, and describe diurnal differences in multidisciplinary care teams.

Unmet information needs of clinical teams delivering care to complex patients and design strategies to address those needs.
The authors sought to identify the unmet information needs of clinical teams delivering care to patients with complex medical, social, and economic needs, and to propose principles for redesigning electronic health records (EHR) to address these needs. They concluded that developing EHR tools that are simple, accessible, easy to use, and able to be updated by a range of professionals is critical. They recommended that the identified information needs and design principles inform developers and implementers working in community health centers and other settings where complex patients receive care.

A simple low-cost method to integrate telehealth interprofessional team members during in situ simulation.
This article describes the integration of remote telehealth electronic intensive care unit (eICU) personnel into in situ simulations with rural emergency department (ED) care teams and the technical challenges of creating shared awareness of the patient's condition and the care team's progress among the care team, the eICU, and those running the simulation. The purpose of the simulations was to introduce telehealth technology and new processes of engaging the eICU via telehealth during sepsis care in rural EDs; development of the scenarios included experts in sepsis, telehealth, and emergency medicine. A shared in situ simulation clinical actions observational checklist was created using an off-the-shelf survey software program. The checklist was completed during the simulations by an onsite observer, and shared with the eICU team via teleconferencing software to and cue eICU nurse engagement. Staff from the two EDs were engaged and an eICU nurse participated in debriefing via the telehealth video system.

Use of a novel, electronic health record-centered, interprofessional ICU rounding simulation to understand latent safety issues.
The electronic health record is a primary source of information for all professional groups participating in ICU rounds. However, it is unclear how team dynamics impacts identification and verbalization of viewed data. Therefore, the investigators created an ICU rounding simulation to assess how the interprofessional team recognized and reported data and its impact on decision-making.

Medication history versus point-of-care platelet activity testing in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.
This study evaluated whether reduced platelet activity detected by point-of-care (POC) testing was a better predictor of hematoma expansion and poor functional outcomes in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) than a history of antiplatelet medication exposure. A history of antiplatelet medication use better identified patients at risk for hematoma growth and poor functional outcomes than POC measures of platelet activity after spontaneous ICH.

Accuracy of laboratory data communication on ICU daily rounds using an electronic health record.
The researchers created a robust but simple methodology to measure the prevalence of inaccurately communicated (misrepresented) data and to characterize data communication failures by type. They found that clinician laboratory data retrieval and communication during ICU rounds at their institution was poor, prone to omissions and inaccuracies, yet largely unrecognized by the rounding team.

The impact of electronic health records and teamwork on diabetes care quality.
The researchers examined whether team cohesion among primary care team members changed the association between EHR use and changes in clinical outcomes for patients with diabetes. They found that patients cared for by higher cohesion primary care teams experienced modest but statistically significantly greater EHR-related health outcome improvements, compared with patients cared for by providers practicing in lower cohesion teams.
