TL;DR: Hospitals that operate at or over capacity may experience heightened rates of patient safety events and might consider re-engineering the structures of care to respond better during periods of high stress.

TL;DR: In extracting pneumonia related concepts from chest x-ray reports, the performance of the natural language processing system was similar to that of physicians and better than that of lay persons and keyword searches.

TL;DR: This study confirms the widely held belief that daily demand for ED services is characterized by seasonal and weekly patterns and concludes that regression-based models that incorporate calendar variables, account for site-specific special-day effects, and allow for residual autocorrelation provide a more appropriate, informative, and consistently accurate approach to forecasting daily ED patient volumes.

TL;DR: Familiar relative risk (FRR) in probands with various combinations, or constellations, of affected relatives, extending to third-degree is reported, indicating increased numbers of affected FDRs influences risk much more than affected SDRs or TDRs.

TL;DR: The Arden Syntax for sharing medical knowledge bases is described, with a current focus is on knowledge that is represented as a set of independent modules that can provide therapeutic suggestions, alerts, diagnosis scores, etc.
