Vanderbilt is using AI to tackle obesity care. The $1M project will dig into why patients stop treatment & create new tools to help them stay on track. #AIinHealthcare #HealthTech news.vumc.org/2025/09/17/van…
Genes matter for side effects. Analyzing 250k genomes at VUMC, we found CYP2C19 & CYP3A4 help explain omeprazole-related myopathy. Details in our new paper: accpjournals.onlinelibrary.w… #precisionmedicine #pharmacogenomics #xingyiguo #PharmacoJournal

Excited to share our new Perspective in npj Health Systems. Integrating clinician-EHR interaction data with patient data opens a powerful, underutilized avenue for building AI that is both context-aware and care-centered. Amazing team @ZXinmeng @TKannampallil @j_r_a_m @ohpenlab

One of our recent drug interaction studies was highlighted by All of Us: "Checking Medicine Safety with All of Us". They have both English and Spanish versions 👍. @vumcdbmi

New research alert 📣 Excited to share our latest study on the association between patient portal engagement and weight loss after #BariatricSurgery. jmir.org/2024/1/e56573. @ohpenlab @vumcdbmi @VUMCSurgery 1/3
Excited to share our new paper on AI’s role in modern care coordination, exploring digital information ecosystems and patient care pathways. Grateful to @bradmalin , @culehmann for their support. Read it here: jmir.org/2024/1/e60258?text=… out this fascinating article by @jmirpub!
Can we extract unrecognized severe adverse reactions with known pharmacokinetic mechanisms from biomedical literature using NLP tools and validate the signals through real-world data? See our paper accepted to #CPTJournal. ascpt.onlinelibrary.wiley.co… #ASCPTJournalFamilyDiscovering

Thrilled to share that I've been promoted to Associate Professor with tenure! A heartfelt thank you to my students, colleagues, and mentors who've supported me on this journey. Here's to continuing to explore, and make an impact! @vumcdbmi @bradmalin @trentrosenbloom @embimd

Inbasket unbearable? Involuntary, never-ending, after-hours 2nd job? Shanafelt, Ripp & I suggest health systems:
1. Measure IB volume
2. Turn off low-value notifications
3. Delegate to upskilled team
4. Pay for the work
5. Research safety & Q of IB care

Great recs to assess for “undivided” attention in clinician-pt interaction (direct pt contact) & clinician-EHR interaction (EHR tasks). Breaks in attention w/in these two units ⬆️ clinicians’ cognitive workload, which can contribute to burnout. @ohpenlab @ChristineSinsky @j_r_a_m
We recently published specifications for a proxy measure of cognitive attention ("undivided attention") using EHR audit-log data, as called for in this @JAMANetwork article. @kbjohnsonmd @j_r_a_m @ohpenlab pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3583…

Undivided attention could be measured! Nice to work with @j_r_a_m and @ChristineSinsky. Hope the metrics published in @ACI_Journal can be used for both operational improvements and research.Thanks for support from @culehmann @vumcdbmi @AMIAinformatics

Interesting article by @ChristineSinsky and Jeff Panzer on the tension between "solution shop" (ex: address sx, built trust) and "production line" in clinical practice.
"The tension between these two poles contributes to moral distress and burnout"
