Article Abstract
Before seeing a patient for the first time, healthcare workers will typically conduct a comprehensive clinical chart review of the patient's electronic health record (EHR). Within the diverse documentation pieces included there, text notes are among the most important and thoroughly perused segments for this task; and yet they are among the least supported medium in terms of content navigation and overview. In this work, we delve deeper into the task of clinical chart review from a data visualization perspective and propose a hybrid graphics+text approach via ChartWalk, an interactive tool to support the review of text notes in EHRs. We report on our iterative design process grounded in input provided by a diverse range of healthcare professionals, with steps including: (a) initial requirements distilled from interviews and the literature, (b) an interim evaluation to validate design decisions, and (c) a task-based qualitative evaluation of our final design. We contribute lessons learned to better support the design of tools not only for clinical chart reviews but also other healthcare-related tasks around medical text analysis.

Department of General and Visceral Surgery, University Hospital Brandenburg an der Havel, Brandenburg an der Havel, Germany.
Background: Perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis (PAP) prior to laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery is still under debate due to a lack of high evidence. Thus, the study at hand aimed to find out whether this medication lowers the rate of postoperative complications or not.
Methods: In 2020, a retrospective analysis took place at Helios Hospital Berlin Buch, Germany.

Background: Clinical communication is central to the delivery of effective, timely, and safe patient care. The use of text-based tools for clinician-to-clinician communication-commonly referred to as secure messaging-has increased exponentially over the past decade. The use of secure messaging has a potential impact on clinician work behaviors, workload, and cognitive burden.

This study aimed to report clinical outcomes of topical chemotherapy for ocular adnexal sebaceous carcinoma (OaSC) with intraepithelial spread. A retrospective chart review of patients with OaSC treated at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute between 2000 and 2023 was conducted. Patient inclusion criteria included: (1) biopsy-proven diagnosis of OaSC, (2) intraepithelial pagetoid involvement confirmed by conjunctival map biopsy, (3) implementation of topical chemotherapy for tumor control, and (4) repeat conjunctival map biopsy following cessation of topical chemotherapy.

Background: Identifying patient-specific barriers to statin therapy, such as intolerance or deferral, from clinical notes is a major challenge for improving cardiovascular care. Automating this process could enable targeted interventions and improve clinical decision support (CDS).
Objective: To develop and evaluate a novel hybrid artificial intelligence (AI) framework for accurately and efficiently extracting information on statin therapy barriers from large volumes of clinical notes.
