Article Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to develop a virtual electronic health record (EHR) training and optimization program and evaluate the impact of the virtual model on provider and staff burnout and electronic health record (EHR) experience.

Methods: UCHealth created and supported a multidisciplinary EHR optimization and training program, known as the Epic Sprint Program. The Sprint Team conducted dozens of onsite Sprint events over the course of several years prior to the pandemic but transitioned to a fully virtual program and successfully "sprinted" 21 outpatient clinics from May to December 2020. Core program components of group and 1:1 training, workflow analysis, and new or adjusted EHR build were unchanged from the onsite model. Pre- and post-Sprint surveys provided detailed, objective data about EHR usability, EHR proficiency, job satisfaction, and burnout.

Results: The EHR Net Promoter Score (NPS), a likelihood to recommend metric, increased by 39 points (-3 pre and 36 post;  < 0.001) for providers and 29 points (8 pre and 37 post;  = 0.001) for staff post-Sprint. Positive provider (NPS = +53) and staff (NPS = +47) NPS scores indicated a high likelihood to recommend the Sprint Program. Post-Sprint surveys also reflect an increase in providers (10%;  = 0.04) and staff (9%; 0.13) who indicated "no burnout" or "did not feel burned out."

Discussion: The UCHealth Sprint Team transitioned this comprehensive, enterprise level initiative from an onsite model to a fully virtual EHR training and optimization program during the first few months of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Despite this change in program delivery, survey data clearly demonstrated improved EHR satisfaction, a high likelihood to recommend a sprint to a friend or colleague, and a trend toward burnout reduction in providers and staff.

Conclusion: Changing an existing on-site EHR optimization program to a purely virtual format can be successful, and this study showed improved provider and staff EHR satisfaction with reduced burnout.

Current research indicates that polyethylene terephthalate microplastics (PET-MPs) may significantly impair male reproductive function. This study aimed to investigate the potential molecular mechanisms underlying this impairment. Potential gene targets of PET-MPs were predicted via the SwissTargetPrediction database.

Modelling cardiovascular disease is at the forefront of efforts to use computational tools to assist in the analysis and forecasting of an individual's state of health. To build trust in such tools, it is crucial to understand how different approaches perform when applied to a nominally identical scenario, both singularly and across a population. To examine such differences, we have studied the flow in aneurysms located on the internal carotid artery and middle cerebral artery using the commercial solver Ansys CFX and the open-source code HemeLB.

To maintain genomic stability, cells have evolved complex mechanisms collectively known as the DNA damage response (DDR), which includes DNA repair, cell cycle checkpoints, apoptosis, and gene expression regulation. Recent studies have revealed that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are pivotal regulators of the DDR. Beyond their established roles in recruiting repair proteins and modulating gene expression, emerging evidence highlights two particularly intriguing functions.

Objective: We previously documented that exposure to a spectrum of elements is associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, there is a lack of mechanistic understanding as to how elemental mixtures contribute to the ASD development.

Materials And Methods: Serum and urinary concentrations of 26 elements and six biomarkers of ASD-relevant pathophysiologic pathways including serum HIPK 2, serum p53 protein, urine malondialdehyde (MDA), urine 8-OHdG, serum melatonin, and urine carnitine, were measured in 21 ASD cases and 21 age-matched healthy controls of children aged 6-12 years.
