A Rapid Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization–Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry-Based Method for Single-Plasmid Tracking in an Outbreak of Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae
Anna F. Lau,Honghui Wang,Rebecca A. Weingarten,Steven K. Drake,Anthony F. Suffredini,Mark Garfield,Yong Chen,Marjan Gucek,Jung-Ho Youn,Frida Stock,Hanna Tso,Jim DeLeo,James J. Cimino,Karen M. Frank,John P. Dekker +14 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that real-time, direct tracking of a single plasmid in a bacterial strain responsible for an outbreak is possible using a commercial matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) system.
Book ChapterDOI
Matching patient records to clinical trials using ontologies
Chintan Patel,James J. Cimino,Julian Dolby,Achille Fokoue,Aditya Kalyanpur,Aaron Kershenbaum,Li Ma,Edith Schonberg,Kavitha Srinivas +8 more
TL;DR: A large case study that explores the applicability of ontology reasoning to problems in the medical domain, and investigates whether it is possible to use such reasoning to automate common clinical tasks that are currently labor intensive and error prone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development, implementation, and a cognitive evaluation of a definitional question answering system for physicians
Hong Yu,Minsuk Lee,David R. Kaufman,John W. Ely,Jerome A. Osheroff,George Hripcsak,James J. Cimino +6 more
TL;DR: It is contention that question answering systems that aggregate pertinent information scattered across different documents have the potential to address clinical information needs within a timeframe necessary to meet the demands of clinicians.
Proceedings Article
Designing an Introspective, Multipurpose, Controlled Medical Vocabulary.
TL;DR: This paper argues that a medical vocabulary must have synonymy, domain completeness and multiple classifications, providing consistent views and explicit relationships, while remaining unambiguous and non-redundant, and proposes an enhanced vocabulary structure based on a directed, acyclic semantic net.
Proceedings Article
WebCIS: large scale deployment of a Web-based clinical information system
TL;DR: WebCIS is a Web-based clinical information system used by 810 physicians at the Columbia-Presbyterian center of New York Presbyterian Healthcare to review and enter data into the electronic medical record.
