Health Information Exchange (HIE) includes the process of electronic movement of patient-level clinical, demographic and health-related information across healthcare organizations. Although literature on HIE indicates the potential benefits of HIE in quality improvement as well as mortality and cost reduction, several studies mention various barriers to HIE adoption and implementation. The hind...

Background and Aim Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a disorder featured by hypoxic and ischemic damages during the perinatal period and its high mortality (i.e., 15%-20%) could be partly attributed to late diagnosis. Therefore, miR-210 and miR-374a were investigated to find if they could improve the diagnostic values of S100B protein and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) for HIE. Methods ...

BACKGROUND Health information exchange (HIE), the electronic sharing of clinical information across the boundaries of health care organizations, has been promoted to improve the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, quality, and safety of health care delivery. OBJECTIVE To systematically review the available research on HIE outcomes and analyze future research needs. METHODS Data sources included...

Over the past 60 years, human intracranial electrophysiology (HIE) has been used to characterize seizures in patients with epilepsy. Secondary to the clinical objectives, electrodes implanted intracranially have been used to investigate mechanisms of human cognition. In addition to studies of memory and language, HIE methods have been used to investigate emotions. The aim of this review is to o...

BACKGROUND/AIM The use of color Doppler neurosonography (cD-US) allows simultaneous examination of parenchymal and vascular cerebral structures. Evaluation of cerebral blood flow velocities (CBFV) and vascular resistance are important in assessment of cerebral circulation in neonates with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of cD-US ...

Haemophilus influenzae infection causes serious invasive disease, but incidence of the most virulent serotype, Hib, has dropped since introduction of routine Hib vaccination. In England and Wales, the incidence of 2 other serotypes, Hie and Hif, is increasing; during 2001-2010, there was an 11.0% year-on-year increase in Hif and a 7.4% increase in Hie. In 2009-2010, Hif incidence was 0.090/100,...

OBJECTIVE To assess physicians' attitudes toward health information exchange (HIE) and physicians' willingness to pay to participate in HIE. DESIGN We conducted a cross-sectional mail survey of 1296 licensed physicians (77% response rate) in Massachusetts in 2007. MEASUREMENTS Perceptions of the potential effects of HIE on healthcare costs, quality of care, clinicians' time, patients' priva...

BACKGROUND Moderate-intensity exercise improves blood glucose (BG), but most people fail to achieve the required exercise volume. High-intensity exercise (HIE) protocols vary. Maximal cycle ergometer sprint interval training typically requires only 2.5 minutes of HIE and a total training time commitment (including rest and warm up) of 25 minutes per session. The effect of brief high-intensity e...

OBJECTIVES We aimed to develop a common health information exchange (HIE) platform that can provide integrated services for implementing the HIE infrastructure in addition to guidelines for participating in an HIE network in South Korea. METHODS By exploiting the Health Level 7 (HL7) Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) and Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) Cross-enterprise Document...
