Physicians of all specialties experienced unprecedented stressors during the COVID-19 pandemic, exacerbating preexisting burnout. We examine burnout's association with perceived and actionable electronic health record (EHR) workload factors personal, professional, organizational characteristics goal identifying levers that can be targeted to address
Physician burnout is an ongoing epidemic; electronic health record (EHR) use has been associated with burnout, and the burden of EHR inbasket messages grown in context COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding how are physician may uncover new insights for intervention strategies.To evaluate associations between message characteristics burnout.Cross-sectional study a single academic medical center involving physicians from multiple specialties. Data collection took place April to September 2020, data...
A primary concern of public health researchers involves identifying and quantifying heterogeneous exposure effects across population subgroups. Understanding the magnitude direction these on a given scale provides ability to recommend policy prescriptions assess external validity findings. Traditional methods for effect measure modification analyses require manual model specification that is often impractical or not feasible conduct in high-dimensional settings. Recent developments machine...
To examine sociodemographic factors associated with having unmet needs in medications, mental health, and food security among older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic.Primary data secondary from electronic health records (EHR) an age-friendly academic system 2020 were used.Observational study examining food, health.Data a computer-assisted telephone interview EHR on community-dwelling patients analyzed.Among 3400 eligible patients, 1921 (53.3%) (average age 76, SD 11) responded, 857 (45%)...
A primary concern of public health researchers involves identifying and quantifying heterogeneous exposure effects across population subgroups. Understanding the magnitude direction these on a given scale provides ability to recommend policy prescriptions assess external validity findings. Furthermore, increasing popularity in fields such as precision medicine that rely accurate estimation high-dimensional interaction has highlighted importance understanding effect modification.

Background Effective primary care necessitates follow-up actions by the patient beyond visit. Prior research suggests room for improvement in adherence. Objective This study sought to understand patients’ views on their visits, plans generated therein, and self-reported adherence after 3 months. Methods As part of a large multisite cluster randomized pragmatic trial health organizations, patients completed 2 surveys—the first within 7 days index visit another months later. For this analysis...

Identifying heterogeneity of treatment or exposure effects among subgroups a study population is important in public health to identify target with priority. Previous approaches have relied on the estimation conditional average effect, which requires effect modifiers be specified priori and for limited number potential modifiers. More recently, machine learning (ML) algorithms been proposed observational studies, allow greater flexibility accuracy identification heterogeneous...
