Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Objective: Accelerate adoption of clinical research technology that obtains electronic health record (EHR) data through HL7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR). Materials and Methods: Based on experience helping institutions implement REDCap-EHR integration and surveys of users and potential users, we discuss the technical and organizational barriers to adoption with strategies for remediation. Results: With strong demand from researchers, the 21st Century Cures Act Final Rule in place, and REDCap software already in use at most research organizations, the environment seems ideal for REDCap-EHR integration for automated data exchange. However, concerns from information technology and regulatory leaders often slow progress and restrict how and when data from the EHR can be used. Discussion and Conclusion: While technological controls can help alleviate concerns about FHIR applications used in research, we have found that messaging, education, and extramural funding remain the strongest drivers of adoption.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
