Research found that outpatient electronic prescribing systems do not significantly reduce medication errors, with over 12% of prescriptions containing mistakes. The most common errors were related to missing information and involved anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, nervous system drugs, and cardiovascular drugs.
A new study conducted in Eldoret, Kenya found that computer-generated reminders about overdue tests yielded a nearly 50% increase in the appropriate ordering of CD4 blood tests. This improvement in quality of care was made possible through the implementation of just-in-time clinician support within electronic medical records.
Implementing electronic medical records (EMRs) in six antiretroviral treatment sites in Malawi improved quarterly cohort reports completion time from up to five days to minutes. The successful deployment of EMRs also prepared a foundation for a comprehensive electronic health record system for other chronic diseases.
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have created a molecular image of a system that moves electrons between proteins in cells, offering insights into minimizing energy loss. This breakthrough has implications for improving energy efficiency in nanoscale devices and grid systems.
Developing local human capacity is key to implementing e-health tools in low-income countries, but a chicken-and-egg problem exists. Dr. Tierney's East African Center of Excellence in Health Informatics has built upon decades-long collaborations to train individuals and implement health information technology tools.
A UT professor calls for coordinated oversight to monitor electronic health record systems, citing concerns over patient safety and quality of care. The proposed framework involves a five-stage approach to evaluate system design and implementation issues.
Researchers developed SCGPSim, a simulation infrastructure that uses parallel processing and CUDA programming model to speed up SystemC-based hardware models. This could significantly reduce the time it takes to bring products to market, improving the efficiency of semiconductor electronics industry.
Researchers found that healthcare providers use paper for efficiency, ease of use, and memory aid purposes. They recommend decreasing alerts to avoid information overload.
A new study found that electronic prescribing systems can significantly reduce order implementation and entry times, leading to lower personnel requirements and costs. While medication errors were not statistically significantly reduced, the system's efficiency gains translate to long-term cost savings.
A University of Maryland researcher warns that voter mistakes can affect election outcomes, with even simple errors leading to three percent of incorrect votes. Experts recommend taking precautions like bringing marked-up sample ballots and carefully reviewing the review screen to minimize errors.
A project called inSPOT uses electronic postcards to assist people in disclosing an STD diagnosis to their sexual partners. This system has been shown to increase partner notification rates, contributing to better disease prevention and control outcomes.
A new study found that electronic health records made no difference in 14 measures of quality care, while improving only two areas. The researcher emphasizes that electronic systems can provide valuable tools for physicians, but it's not enough to improve quality on their own.
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute are working to develop new cooling techniques to manage heat aboard modern ships. The project aims to reduce device temperatures below 50 degrees Celsius using novel electronic cooling systems, including liquid cooling and nanoparticle suspensions.
A team of researchers from six universities, led by the US Department of Defense, is awarded $6 million to explore precise biological assembly for studying quantum physics in nanoparticle arrays. This research aims to produce fundamental understanding of quantum electronic systems and could impact future electronics.
Researchers at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed the world's fastest transistor, exceeding 509-gigahertz frequency. The device leverages indium phosphide and indium gallium arsenide materials, enabling faster current density and higher operation speeds.
The new Phileas bus-tram system uses a magnetic reference system to guide the vehicle, allowing for precise navigation around bends and stops. The system enables the bus to travel at higher speeds while reducing construction costs and improving safety.
