Unveiling sub-populations in critical care settings
Background: Disease presentation and progression can vary greatly in heterogeneous diseases, such as COVID-19, with variability in patient outcomes, even within the hospital setting. This variability underscores the need for tailored treatment approaches based on distinct clinical subgroups. Objectives: This study aimed to identify COVID-19 patient subgroups with unique clinical characteristics using real-world data (RWD) from electronic health r…
Wrangling Real-World Data
Data-driven approaches to clinical research are necessary for understanding and effectively treating infectious diseases. However, challenges such as issues with data validity, lack of collaboration, and difficult-to-treat infectious diseases (e.g., those that are rare or newly emerging) hinder research. Prioritizing innovative methods to facilitate the continued use of data generated during routine clinical care for research, but in an organized…
I Don’t Want to Go to Work”
During the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare workers (HCW) were categorized as "essential" and "non-essential", creating a division where some were "locked-in" a system with little ability to prepare for or control the oncoming crisis.

The purpose of this study was to systematically gather data over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic from HCW through an interprofessional le…

Neglecting physician desires to teach at an academic medical facility

The current study aimed to expound upon this finding, focusing specifically on the role of teaching in promoting meaning and preventing burnout. METHOD: A total of 428 physicians at a large academic healthcare institution completed an online survey that included me…
HIV Preexposure Prophylaxis Care Continuum Among Individuals Receiving Medication for Opioid Use Disorder, South Carolina, 2020–2021
We implemented the HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) care continuum among individuals receiving medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD). We screened HIV-negative MOUD participants for PrEP eligibility by assessing injection drug use risk factors and sexual behaviors. Implementation of the PrEP care continuum was challenging; less than a third of MOUD participants were aware of PrEP, and very few initiated PrEP. Findings should promote the deve…
