Evaluation of the International Classification of Health Interventions (ICHI) in the coding of common surgical procedures
Conclusion: In the clinical use case of capturing information in the electronic health record, ICHI was outperformed by the clinically oriented procedure coding systems (SNOMED CT and CCI), but was comparable to ICD-10-PCS. Postcoordination could be an effective and efficient means of improving coverage. ICHI is generally adequate for the collection of international statistics.

Use of clinical data to augment healthcare worker contact tracing during the COVID-19 pandemic
ConclusionAutomated methods to screen HCWs for potential exposure to patients with COVID-19 using clinical event data from the EHR are likely to improve epidemiologic surveillance by contact tracing programs and represent a viable and readily available strategy which should be considered by other institutions.

Blueprint for aligned data exchange for research and public health
AbstractMaking EHR Data More Available for Research and Public Health (MedMorph) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-led initiative developing and demonstrating a reference architecture (RA) and implementation, including Health Level Seven International Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (HL7 FHIR) implementation guides (IGs), describing how to leverage FHIR for aligned research and public health access to clinical data for automated data exchange. MedMorph engaged a technical expert panel of more than 100 members to model representative use cases, develop IGs (architectural and content), align with exi...

Gender harmony: improved standards to support affirmative care of gender-marginalized people through inclusive gender and sex representation
ConclusionMost clinical systems and current standards in health care do not meaningfully address, nor do they consistently represent, sex and gender diversity, which has impeded interoperability and led to suboptimal health care. The Gender Harmony Project was formed to create more inclusive health information exchange standards to enable a safer, higher-quality, and embracing healthcare experience. The Gender Harmony Model provides the informative guidance for standards developers to implement a more thorough technical design that improves the narrow binary design used in many legacy clinical systems.

Cast suppression in radiographs by generative adversarial networks
AbstractInjured extremities commonly need to be immobilized by casts to allow proper healing. We propose a method to suppress cast superimpositions in pediatric wrist radiographs based on the cycle generative adversarial network (CycleGAN) model. We retrospectively reviewed unpaired pediatric wrist radiographs (n = 9672) and sampled them into 2 equal groups, with and without cast. The test subset consisted of 718 radiographs with cast. We evaluated different quadratic input sizes (256, 512, and 1024 pixels) for U-Net and ResNet-based CycleGAN architectures in cast suppression, quantitatively and qualitatively. The mean age...

Active neural networks to detect mentions of changes to medication treatment in social media
ConclusionWe showed that social media users publicly discuss medication treatment changes and may explain their reasons including when it constitutes nonadherence. This approach may be useful to supplement current efforts in adherence monitoring. (Source: Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association)

Toward an inclusive digital health system for sexual and gender minorities in Canada
AbstractMost digital health systems (DHS) are unable to capture gender, sex, and sexual orientation (GSSO) data beyond a single binary attribute with female and male options. This binary system discourages access to preventative screening and gender-affirming care for sexual and gender minority (SGM) people. We conducted this 1-year multi-method project and cocreated an action plan to modernize GSSO information practices in Canadian DHS. The proposed actions are to: (1) Envisage an equity- and SGM-oriented health system; (2) Engage communities and organizations to modernize GSSO information practices in DHS; (3) Establish ...
