Founded in 1870, the NIH conducts its own scientific research through its Intramural Research Program (IRP), which supports approximately 1,200 principal investigators and more than 4,000 postdoctoral fellows conducting basic, translational and clinical research. In this blog,…Advancing laboratory medicine in hospitals through health information exchange: A survey of specialist physicians in Canada
This February 2020 paper published in BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making examines the state of health information exchange in Québec and other parts of Canada and how its application to laboratory medicine might be improved. In particular, laboratory information exchange (LIE) systems that "improve the reliability of the laboratory testing process" and integrate "with other clinical information systems (CISs) physicians use in hospitals" are examined in this work. Surveying hospital-based specialist physicians, Raymond et al. paint a picture of how varying clinical information management solutions are used, what functionality is being used and not used, and how physicians view the potential benefits of the clinical systems they use. They conclude that there is very much a "complementary nature" between systems and that "system designers should take a step back to imagine a way to design systems as part of an interconnected network of features."

The current official stance is that there is no real treatment for COVID-19. If you get it, you are told to just go home and tough it out…until/unless you start finding it hard to breathe, or develop other severe symptoms requiring hospitalization. Fortunately, in the vast majority of cases (something like 80%) symptoms are mild, moderate or non-existent. And, moreover, the mortality rate...
