(Common) Data Elements in Radiation Oncology: A Systematic Literature Review.

PURPOSE: Structured medical data documentation is highly relevant in a data-driven discipline such as radiation oncology. Defined (common) data elements (CDEs) can be used to record data in clinical trials, health records, or computer systems for improved standardization and data exchange. The International Society for Radiation Oncology Informatics initiated a project for a scientific literature analysis of defined data elements for structured documentation in radiation oncology. METHODS: We performed a systematic literature review on both PubMed and Scopus to analyze publications relevant to the utilization of specified data elements for the documentation of radiation therapy (RT)-related information. Relevant publications were retrieved as full-text and searched for published data elements. Finally, the extracted data elements were quantitatively analyzed and classified. RESULTS: We found a total of 452 publications, of which 46 were considered relevant for structured data documentation. Twenty-nine publications addressed defined RT-specific data elements, of which 12 publications provided data elements. Only two publications focused on data elements in radiation oncology. The 29 analyzed publications were heterogeneous regarding the subject and usage of the defined data elements, and different concepts/terms for defined data elements were used. CONCLUSION: The literature about structured data documentation in radiation oncology using defined data elements is scarce. There is a need for a comprehensive list of RT-specific CDEs the radio-oncologic community can rely on. As it has been done in other medical fields, establishing such a list would be of great value for clinical practice and research as it would promote interoperability and standardization.

Introduction When providing healthcare, it is necessary to record treatment activities in the patient's electronic medical records, which serves as a tool that impacts several tasks, including those performed in intensive care units. Any failure of these electronic systems has a direct impact on the delivery of healthcare. This study is aimed to assess the perception of the use of electronic medical records and satisfaction levels among intensive care nurses, as well as to evaluate a questionnaire instrument for this purpose. Materials and Methods A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted in São Paulo. The instrument used for collection was prepared by the authors, which was also validated in terms of appearance and content. Categorical variables were compared using Fisher's exact test and numerical variables were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results 75 nursing professionals, mostly women and classified as nurse technicians, participated in this study. The majority of the participants considered that electronic medical records were easy to use, indicated that they had sufficient knowledge about the management of electronic medical records, noted that the number of computer in the hospital was insufficient, and stated that both patient and healthcare team safety had improved after using the patient's electronic medical records. Male nurses found it more difficult to use this tool. Conclusions Electronic medical records were found to be easy to use, while the main difficulties are related to their functionality, especially by male nurses.

Colorectal Surgery Surveillance: A Novel Method for Composing an Automated Real-time Prospective Registry.

BACKGROUND: Medical registries have been shown to be an effective way to improve patient care and reduce costs. Constructing such registries entails extraneous effort of either reviewing medical charts or creating tailored case report forms (CRF). While documentation has shifted from handwritten notes into electronic medical records (EMRs), the majority of information is logged as free text, which is difficult to extract. OBJECTIVES: To construct a tool within the EMR to document patient-related data as codified variables to automatically create a prospective database for all patients undergoing colorectal surgery. METHODS: The hospital's EMR was re-designed to include codified variables within the operative report and patient notes that documented pre-operative history, operative details, postoperative complications, and pathology reports. The EMR was programmed to capture all existing data of interest with manual completion of un-coded variables. RESULTS: During a 6-month pilot study, 130 patients underwent colorectal surgery. Of these, 104 (80%) were logged into the registry on the same day of surgery. The median time to log the rest of the 26 cases was 1 day. Forty-two patients had a postoperative complication. The most common cause for severe complications was an anastomotic leak with a cumulative rate of 12.3. CONCLUSIONS: Re-designing the EMR to enable prospective documentation of surgical related data is a valid method to create an on-going, real-time database that is recorded instantaneously with minimal additional effort and minimal cost.

Bonuses and pitfalls of a paperless drive-through screening and COVID-19: A field report.

As the world witnessed the rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2, the World Health Organization has called for governing bodies worldwide to intensify case findings, contact tracing, monitoring, and quarantine or isolation of contacts with COVID-19. Drive-through (DT) screening is a form of case detection which has recently gain preference globally. Proper implementation of this system can help remediate the outbreak.

Machine-learning model to predict the cause of death using a stacking ensemble method for observational data.

OBJECTIVE: Cause of death is used as an important outcome of clinical research; however, access to cause-of-death data is limited. This study aimed to develop and validate a machine-learning model that predicts the cause of death from the patient's last medical checkup. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To classify the mortality status and each individual cause of death, we used a stacking ensemble method. The prediction outcomes were all-cause mortality, 8 leading causes of death in South Korea, and other causes. The clinical data of study populations were extracted from the national claims (n = 174 747) and electronic health records (n = 729 065) and were used for model development and external validation. Moreover, we imputed the cause of death from the data of 3 US claims databases (n = 994 518, 995 372, and 407 604, respectively). All databases were formatted to the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Common Data Model. RESULTS: The generalized area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of the model predicting the cause of death within 60 days was 0.9511. Moreover, the AUROC of the external validation was 0.8887. Among the causes of death imputed in the Medicare Supplemental database, 11.32% of deaths were due to malignant neoplastic disease. DISCUSSION: This study showed the potential of machine-learning models as a new alternative to address the lack of access to cause-of-death data. All processes were disclosed to maintain transparency, and the model was easily applicable to other institutions. CONCLUSION: A machine-learning model with competent performance was developed to predict cause of death.

Electronic Patient-reported Outcomes During Breast Cancer Adjuvant Radiotherapy.

INTRODUCTION: Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) have become extremely important in following patients' health-related quality of life during cancer treatments. The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of electronic PROs (ePROs) during adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) in patients with early breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A registry trial was conducted with a total of 253 patients with breast cancer receiving RT. Adverse event data were collected from 9 items on the ePRO questionnaires that were administered before RT (N = 253), at the end of RT (± 3 days; N = 234), 1 month after RT (N = 230), and 3 months (N = 225) after RT. The patient characteristics and treatment details were collected from the medical records. RESULTS: The patients have started actively using the ePRO system, and the response rates were high (82.6%). During RT, 39.3% of the ePRO responses were about symptoms, and 60.7% were about treatment-related questions or advice. Patients treated with hypofractionated RT reported fewer local adverse events such as skin symptoms (P = .001) and pain (P = .002) than those who received conventional RT. One of the main findings of this study was that tiredness, fatigue, and anxiety were commonly reported on the patients' ePRO questionnaires, but they were rarely recorded in the medical records. CONCLUSION: Patients were motivated to use the ePRO system, and the response rates were high. Additionally, patients seemed to find that the ePRO system was an easy way to contact their own health care professionals. More attention should be paid to mental well-being during visits to the clinic.

Esquema de confianza basado en Infraestructura de clave pública (PKI) para el intercambio de información clínica electrónica en el sistema XAVIA HIS / PKI-based trust scheme for the exchange of electronic clinical information in the XAVIA HIS system

La seguridad informática se ha convertido en una necesidad y un derecho de todos los ciudadanos. Los sistemas informáticos empleados en el sector de salud poseen un almacenamiento digital fácil y sostenible que debe garantizar la privacidad e integridad de la información, lo cual constituye cuestión delicada. En Cuba no está definido un esquema PKI (Públic Key Infraestructure) o Infraestructura de Clave Pública, centralizado a nivel nacional que propicie y garantice la seguridad de la información sensible en el sistema de salud pública, lo cual pone en riesgo la autenticidad, integridad y confidencialidad de los datos médicos personales. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo diseñar una estructura de seguridad centrada en la PKI entre las instituciones de salud, a partir de la infraestructura de llave pública nacional como autoridad de certificación raíz. Se realizó un análisis documental sobre la actualidad del tema, se realizaron entrevistas a administrativos, gestores hospitalarios y especialistas en seguridad informática, lo cual permitió crear las bases de la investigación. Se obtuvo un esquema de confianza que propicia el intercambio seguro de los registros médicos de los pacientes entre instituciones de salud. La implementación de una infraestructura PKI en el sector sanitario permite que las instituciones que requieran intercambiar registros médicos, a través de una red, puedan hacerlo con un alto nivel de seguridad(AU)

Computer security has become a necessity and a right for all citizens. The IT systems used in the health sector have much easier and more sustainable digital storage and guarantee the privacy and integrity of information, which are sensitive issues. In Cuba, there is no centralized PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) scheme at the national level that promotes and guarantees the security of sensitive information in the public health system, which puts the authenticity, integrity and confidentiality of personal medical data at risk. The aim of our work was to design a security structure centered on PKI among health institutions, based on the national public key infrastructure as root certificate authority (CA). In order to achieve this, a documentary analysis was carried out on the current state of the art in the subject; as well as interviews with administrative staff, hospital managers and specialists in computer security, which allowed the research bases to be created. As a result, a trust scheme was obtained that promotes the secure exchange of patients' medical records between health institutions. The implementation of a PKI infrastructure in the health sector allows institutions to exchange medical records through a network with a high level of security(AU)

The effect of the introduction of an electronic booking system to appropriately prioritise gastroscopies at a regional hospital in South Africa.

BACKGROUND: The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines state that patients with dyspepsia as well as alarm symptoms, or those that are 55 years and older with new onset dyspepsia, urgently require an upper endoscopy within two weeks. The 'Be Clear on Cancer Campaign' launched by Public Health England estimated that 9% of deaths due to gastric and oesophageal cancers could have been avoided if the diagnosis was made at an earlier stage. Worcester Provincial Hospital (WPH) is a regional hospital in the Western Cape, South Africa, that due to resource constraints was unable to comply with these guidelines. An electronic endoscopy booking system was implemented in June 2014 to assist referring clinicians. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the ability of the booking system to appropriately prioritise and accommodate clinically appropriate patients for an urgent gastroscopy within 2 weeks at WPH. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of patients booked for urgent gastroscopies using the online booking system at WPH from July 2014 to June 2017. RESULTS: A total of 1 589 gastroscopies were performed, with 1 085 (65%) categorised as urgent by the booking system algorithm, during the study period. The median (interquartile range) waiting time for urgent gastroscopies was 19 (8 - 31) days and 437 (40%) patients underwent a gastroscopy within the recommended 2-week period. Of the patients undergoing gastroscopy within 2 weeks, 87 (20%) were diagnosed with upper gastrointestinal malignancies and 73 (17%) had significant benign pathology (stricture or ulcer). A total of 150 malignancies were diagnosed in the urgent patients of whom 87 (58%) were scoped within 2 weeks. CONCLUSIONS: The volume of patients requiring urgent gastroscopy at WPH outstrips the available resources. The introduction of the online algorithm-based booking system was effective in prioritising patients. The use of this system facilitated a malignancy diagnosis rate which compares favourably with similar fast track endoscopy services in more developed countries.

Incident Reporting System in an Italian University Hospital: A New Tool for Improving Patient Safety.

Clinical risk management constitutes a central element in the healthcare systems in relation to the reverberation that it establishes, and as regards the optimization of clinical outcomes for the patient. The starting point for a right clinical risk management is represented by the identification of non-conforming results. The aim of the study is to carry out a systematic analysis of all data received in the first three years of adoption of a reporting system, revealing the strengths and weaknesses. The results emerged showed an increasing trend in the number of total records. Notably, 86.0% of the records came from the medical category. Moreover, 41.0% of the records reported the possible preventive measures that could have averted the event and in 30% of the reports are hints to be put in place to avoid the repetition of the events. The second experimental phase is categorizing the events reported. Implementing the reporting system, it would guarantee a virtuous cycle of learning, training and reallocation of resources. By sensitizing health workers to a correct use of the incident reporting system, it could become a virtuous error learning system. All this would lead to a reduction in litigation and an implementation of the therapeutic doctor-patient alliance.

Electronic Patient Portal Use in Orthopaedic Surgery Is Associated with Disparities, Improved Satisfaction, and Lower No-Show Rates.

BACKGROUND: Electronic patient portal (EPP) use has been associated with a number of benefits in the internal medicine setting. Few studies have examined the disparities in and the benefits of EPP utilization among surgical patients. The purposes of this study were to examine factors associated with EPP use among patients undergoing an orthopaedic surgical procedure and to determine if EPP use is associated with improved outcomes or satisfaction after orthopaedic surgical procedures. METHODS: We queried all patients undergoing an orthopaedic surgical procedure from May 2015 to December 2018 at 2 academic medical centers in an integrated hospital system. Patient demographic characteristics, operative characteristics, satisfaction scores, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) were collected. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify disparities in EPP use. Adjusted logistic and linear regressions were then used to assess the association between EPP use and the various outcome metrics while controlling for confounders identified in the previous analysis. RESULTS: Numerous demographic factors were independently associated with EPP use among patients undergoing an orthopaedic surgical procedure, including English speakers compared with non-English speakers (odds ratio [OR], 2.37 [95% confidence interval (CI), 2.01 to 2.79]); African-American or black race (OR, 0.42 [95% CI, 0.36 to 0.48]) and Hispanic race (OR, 0.52 [95% CI, 0.44 to 0.61]) compared with white race; college education compared with high school education (OR, 2.30 [95% CI, 2.12 to 2.49]); and a surgical procedure for orthopaedic trauma compared with that for the hand or upper extremity (OR, 0.51 [95% CI, 0.45 to 0.58]) (p < 0.001 for all), among others. EPP use was independently associated with the increased likelihood of completing a PROM (OR, 1.57 [95% CI, 1.45 to 1.7]) and a satisfaction survey (OR, 2.38 [95% CI, 2.17 to 2.61]) and improved overall patient satisfaction (mean difference, 2.61 points [95% CI, 1.79 to 3.43 points]) (p < 0.001 for all). Finally, EPP use was independently associated with lower mean no-show rates (6.8% [95% CI, 6.4% to 7.2%] compared with 9.3% [95% CI, 8.9% to 9.7%]). The lower no-show rate for EPP users corresponded to an estimated $218,225 in savings for our institution within the first postoperative year. CONCLUSIONS: This study identified significant disparities in EPP use among patients undergoing an orthopaedic surgical procedure. Given that EPP use was independently associated with lower no-show rates and improved patient satisfaction among patients undergoing an orthopaedic procedure, efforts to reduce these disparities are warranted. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: EPPs are increasingly being used by health-care systems to improve communication between providers and patients; however, providers should be aware of and strive to eliminate disparities in EPP utilization among orthopaedic patients. Within orthopaedic surgery, EPPs are associated with a number of benefits, including lower no-show rates and increased patient satisfaction.

Experiencia clínica del uso de la ficha SIP/CLAP en mujeres con aborto espontáneo resuelto por vía quirúrgica / Clinical experience of the use of the SIP/CLAP form use in women with spontaneous abortion treated by surgical means

INTRODUCCIÓN Y OBJETIVOS: En Chile, existen datos parcializados en cuanto a la prevalencia de aborto. La población migrante ha generado un cambio en las características de las pacientes en situación de aborto. El objetivo es describir las características demográficas y clínicas de las mujeres con aborto de manejo quirúrgico con y sin complicaciones. MÉTODOS: Estudio Descriptivo Transversal. Se incluyeron mujeres atendidas por aborto, sometidas a método de evacuación y que estuvieran ingresadas al sistema SIP/CLAP. Se compararon mujeres con o sin complicaciones con respecto a diferentes características demográficas y clínicas. Se calculó Odd Ratio para algunas variables de interés. RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron 554 mujeres, un 13% (N= 73) tuvo complicación al ingreso, principalmente hemorrágica (40%). Las características demográficas fueron similares en ambos grupos. Hubo mayor riesgo de complicación en mujeres con abortos previos (OR: 2,4 (IC 1,3-4,5), p =0.00), cuando el diagnóstico de ingreso fue aborto incompleto (OR: 85,3 (IC 25,2-288), p=0,00) y cuando se realizó legrado (OR: 4 (IC 2,5-6,5) p=0,00). La mayoría de las pacientes con complicaciones no planeó el embarazo (OR: 11 (IC 3,4-37,7), p=0,00) y no usó método anticonceptivo en esta gestación. El 70% recibió método anticonceptivo al egreso. CONCLUSIONES: Existen características clínicas asociadas a complicación en mujeres con aborto de manejo quirúrgico en nuestro centro, como diagnóstico de ingreso, embarazo no planificado, aborto previo y tipo de evacuación. Existen limitaciones en cuanto a la cantidad y calidad de información, sin embargo, nuestros resultados permiten conocer el perfil de pacientes atendidas por aborto en nuestro centro.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: In Chile, there are partial data regarding the prevalence of abortion. The migrant population has generated a change in the characteristics of patients in an abortion situation. The objective is to describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of women with surgical abortion with and without complications. METHODS: Transversal Descriptive Study. Women treated for abortion, undergoing evacuation method and who were admitted to the SIP / CLAP system were included. Women with or without complications were compared with respect to different demographic and clinical characteristics. Odd Ratio was calculated for some variables of interest. RESULTS: 554 women were included, 13% (N = 73) had complication at admission, mainly hemorrhagic (40%). Demographic characteristics were similar in both groups. There was an increased risk of complication in women with previous abortions (OR: 2.4 (IC 1.3-4.5), p = 0.00), when the diagnosis of admission was incomplete abortion (OR: 85.3 (IC 25.2- 288), p = 0.00) and when curettage was performed (OR: 4 (IC 2.5-6.5) p = 0.00). The majority of patients with complications did not plan pregnancy (OR: 11 (IC 3.4-37.7), p = 0.00) and did not use a contraceptive method in this pregnancy. 70% received contraceptive method upon discharge. CONCLUSIONS: There are clinical characteristics associated with complications in women with surgical management abortion in our center, such as admission diagnosis, unplanned pregnancy, previous abortion and type of evacuation. There are limitations regarding the quantity and quality of information, however, our results allow us to know the profile of patients treated for abortion in our center.

Design and Pilot Implementation of an Electronic Health Record-Based System to Automatically Refer Cancer Patients to Tobacco Use Treatment.

Continued tobacco use after cancer diagnosis is detrimental to treatment and survivorship. The current reach of evidence-based tobacco treatments in cancer patients is low. As a part of the National Cancer Institute Cancer Center Cessation Initiative, the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center designed an electronic health record (EHR, Epic©)-based process to automatically refer ambulatory oncology patients to tobacco use treatment, regardless of intent to cease tobacco use("opt out"). The referral and patient scheduling, accomplished through a best practice advisory (BPA) directed to staff who room patients, does not require a co-signature from clinicians. This process was piloted for a six-week period starting in July of 2019 at the Division of Medical Oncology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. All oncology patients who were tobacco users were referred for tobacco treatment by the rooming staff (n = 210). Of these, 150 (71%) had a tobacco treatment appointment scheduled, and 25 (17%) completed their appointment. We conclude that an EHR-based "opt-out" approach to refer patients to tobacco dependence treatment that does not require active involvement by clinicians is feasible within the oncology clinical practice. Further work is needed to increase the proportion of scheduled patients who attend their appointments.
