TL;DR: In a world where open-source modules were integrated into operational health care systems, informatics researchers would have real world niches into which they could engraft and test their software inventions and produce a burst of innovation that would help solve the many problems of the health care system.

TL;DR: The Indiana Network for Patient Care is an integrated citywide medical record system that promotes health quality by enabling efficient access to clinical information by describing and rationales behind the many clinical applications that interface these data.
Abstract: Presented in this article is the Indiana Network for Patient Care, an integrated citywide medical record system that promotes health quality by enabling efficient access to clinical information. It begins with a description of the system’s infrastructure, which includes an explanation of how the system accomplishes data integration. This is followed by a series of descriptions and rationales behind the many clinical applications that interface these data. In doing so, some of the factors that we feel contribute to the success of the system are illustrated.

TL;DR: Systems engineering is described as the process of identifying the system of interest, choosing appropriate performance measures, selecting the best modeling tool, studying model properties and behavior under a variety of scenarios, and making design and operational decisions for implementation.
Abstract: Background
In a highly publicized joint report, the National Academy of Engineering and the Institute of Medicine recently recommended the systematic application of systems engineering approaches for reforming our health care delivery system. For this to happen, medical professionals and managers need to understand and appreciate the power that systems engineering concepts and tools can bring to redesigning and improving health care environments and practices.

TL;DR: Interventions that are capable of even a modest reduction in the number of DKA episodes could produce substantial cost savings in a health care system and could be particularly cost-effective in adult patients with recurrent DKA.
Abstract: OBJECTIVE To determine the medical charges for treating diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) episodes relative to direct medical care charges of adult patients with type I diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Using data from an electronic medical record system, we identified adult patients with type I diabetes who had received inpatient or outpatient care on at least two occasions between 1 January 1993 and 30 June 1994. Resources and charges for hospitalizations, emergency room visits, outpatient visits, and pharmaceuticals were recorded during this period. One additional year of information was collected to assess the resources and charges associated with multiple DKA episodes. RESULTS A total of 200 patients were identified, of whom 72 (36.0%) experienced a total of 161 DKA episodes. The direct medical care charges associated with DKA episodes represented 28.1% of the direct medical care charges for the cohort of patients with type I diabetes. The average charge per DKA episode was $6,444. The estimated annual medical care charge for each patient was $7,855 ($13,096 per patient experiencing a DKA episode versus $4,907 per patient not experiencing an episode). Multiple DKA episodes were experienced by 24 (12.0%) of the study patients and accounted for 55.6% of the direct medical care charges for these patients. CONCLUSIONS DKA episodes represented more than $1 of every $4 spent on direct medical care for adult patients with type I diabetes and $1 of every $2 in those patients experiencing multiple episodes. Interventions that are capable of even a modest reduction in the number of DKA episodes could produce substantial cost savings in a health care system and could be particularly cost-effective in adult patients with recurrent DKA.

TL;DR: The Advanced Cognitive Training in Vital Elderly ( NCT00298558 ) study as mentioned in this paper was a randomized controlled trial among initially healthy older adults, which examined the efficacy of three cognitive training programs (memory, reasoning, or speed of processing) relative to a no-contact control condition.
