Electronic health record (EHR) generates a large amount of data filled with opportunities to enhance documentation compliance, quality improvement, and other metrics. Various software tools exist, but many clinicians are unaware of them. Ou...

Synergy between medical informatics and bioinformatics: facilitating genomic medicine for future health care

American Medical Informatics Association Annual Symposium Proceedings

Medical informatics: where are we in 2002?

Medical Informatics embodies two rather broad domains: “medical” and “informatics.” As described by the American Medical Informatics Association, “Medical informatics has to do with all aspects of understanding and promoting the effective o...

Medical Informatics Education in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Abstract: Medical informatics, as a separate medical discipline, is quickly developing in our country, both in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In our country, medical informatics has been a separate subject for the last ten years with regard to Med...

Assessing Acceptance and Intention to Use of Home Telemonitoring Among Patients with Liver Cirrhosis: Development and Initial Psychometric Validation of a TAM-Based Questionnaire

Background/Objectives: Liver cirrhosis (LC) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality requiring continuous monitoring and early recognition of clinical deterioration. Home telemonitoring is increasingly considered a supportive strategy fo...

Artificial neural network–based model for sleep quality prediction for frontline medical staff during major medical assistance

Background: The sleep quality of medical staff was severely affected during COVID-19, but the factors influencing the sleep quality of frontline staff involved in medical assistance remained unclear, and screening tools for their sleep qual...

Phosphorus runoff from Canadian agricultural land: A dataset for 30 experimental fields

Phosphorus (P) runoff from agricultural land plays a critical role in downstream water quality. This article summarizes P and sediment runoff data for both snowmelt and rainfall runoff from 30 arable fields in the Canadian provinces of Sask...

Association between social health status and health-related quality of life among community-dwelling elderly in Zhejiang

Abstract Background Population aging is an inevitable trend and previous studies have showed the relationship between social health related factors and health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) in the elderly. The objective of this study is t...

Data for the co-expression and purification of human recombinant CaMKK2 in complex with calmodulin in Escherichia coli

Calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase kinase 2 (CaMKK2) has been implicated in a range of conditions and pathologies from prostate to hepatic cancer. Here, we describe the expression in Escherichia coli and the purification protocol for the f...
