Toward Healthcare System Digital Mission Engineering: A Multilevel Health Informatics Framework for AI Integration, Demonstrated Through Cardiovascular Risk Management

Artificial intelligence increasingly operates within interconnected healthcare information systems, but governance remains model-centered and weakly tied to institutional mission. Healthcare System Digital Mission Engineering (HSDME) adapts digital mission engineering to treat th...

Association Between Interhospital Transfer, Readmission, and Inpatient Mortality Among Older Adults

ABSTRACT Background Interhospital transfer (IHT) is a key strategy for providing access to specialty care; however, it is associated with multiple adverse outcomes, including prolonged length of stay, increased risk of inpatient mortality, and reduced rates of discharge home, par...

Heart failure‐induced reprogramming of salt‐evoked neurovascular coupling in the rat hypothalamus

Abstract Neurovascular coupling (NVC) is essential for matching cerebral blood flow to neuronal activity. While NVC has been extensively studied in the cerebral cortex, far less is known about its regulation in deep brain regions such as the hypothalamus, particularly under patho...

Enabling Functional Independence: A Scoping Review of Upper Extremity Assistive Devices for Adults With Progressive Neuromuscular Diseases

BACKGROUND: Assistive technology offers an important means of compensating for lost upper extremity function in adults with progressive neuromuscular diseases (NMD), enabling participation in daily activities, supporting independence, and promoting quality of life. However, the r...
