2 DuVall, Scott L.Creation of an open source master person index from proprietary code: the open source "care data exchange" projectFrom 1998 to 2004 the ""Care Data Exchange"" (CDE) software was developed as a proprietary product by CareScience for the California HealthCare Foundation (CHCF). In 2005 CHCF asked Forrester Research to study the feasibility of releasing the CDE software assets under a free, open source license.

4 Narus, Scott P.; Hales, Joseph W.; Poynton, Mollie Rebecca; Evans, R. ScottEnhancing continuity of care through an emergency medical card at Intermountain Healthcare: using the continuity of care record standardComplex and fragmented healthcare systems hamper provision of effective care where it is needed most. 1 In most instances, continuity of care is rarely considered during referral, transfer, or discharge of patients from one caregiver to another. 2,3 The dearth of pertinent current and historical hea...Continuity of care; Emergency medical card; Trapeze Interactive Poster2009
5 Camp, Nicola J.Genetic susceptibility of prostate cancer: genome-wide screen of "non-aggressive" diseaseResearch has consistently shown that genetics plays a critical role in prostate cancer (CaP) development, but the identification of CaP genes has proven to be very difficult. Hereditary prostate cancer is a complex disease believed to involve numerous genes and variable penetrance. It has been propo...CaP genes; Prostate cancer; Non-aggressive; Utah Population Database; Trapeze Interactive Poster2009
6 Camp, Nicola J.Genome-wide linkage analysis for aggressive prostate cancer in Utah high risk pedigreesResearch has consistently shown that genetics plays a critical role in prostate cancer (CaP) development, but the identification of CaP genes has proven to be very difficult. Hereditary prostate cancer is a complex disease involving numerous genes and variable phenotypic expression. This heterogene...Linkage analysis; Aggressive prostate cancer; CaP genes; ICPCG; Utah; Trapeze Interactive Poster2009
7 DuVall, Scott L.Identifying data set specific duplicate patient recordsProbabilistic models are commonly used in the identification of duplicate records. These methods are usually more accurate than deterministic methods, but are exponentially more computationally complex. Thus to make them computationally feasible, they rely on deterministic blocking strategies. Th...Probabilistic models; Duplicate records; Duplicate patient records; Trapeze Interactive Poster2009
8 Kestle, John R. W.; Simon, Tamara DanielleInfection rates following initial cerebrospinal fluid shunt placement across pediatric hospitals in the United StatesObject. Reported rates of CSF shunt infection vary widely across studies. The study objective was to determine the CSF shunt infection rates after initial shunt placement at multiple US pediatric hospitals. The authors hypothesized that infection rates between hospitals would vary widely even after ...Shunt placement; Pediatric neurosurgery2009
9 Mitchell, Joyce A.Integrating genetic information resources with an EHRThe integration between the electronic health record (HER) and on0line information resources, using tools such as "infobuttons", is considered a promising solution to fulfill clinicians' information needs at the point-of-care. This article describes the implementation of "infobutton" links from a...Electronic health record; HER; Infobutton links; Genetics Home Reference; GHR; GeneTests; Genetic information resources; Trapeze Interactive Poster2009
10 Dailey, Andrew T.Magnesium efficacy in a rat spinal cord injury modelObject. Magnesium has been shown to have neuroprotective properties in short-term spinal cord injury (SCI) studies. The authors evaluated the efficacy of magnesium, methylprednisolone, and magnesium plus methylprednisolone in a rat SCI model. Methods. A moderate-to-severe SCI was produced at T9-10 ...Methylprednisolone; Spinal cord injury; Rat model2009
11 Couldwell, William T.; Harnsberger, H. RicOronasopharyngeal chordomasBackground: Chordomas are rare tumors derived from notochordal remnants. The authors report on a series of three cases of primary familial oronasopharyngeal chordomas treated at our institution. Methods: A retrospective chart review was completed of the three cases of primary familial oronasopharyng...Oronasopharyngeal; Chordoma; Pharynx; Notochord; Transoral; Skull base2009
12 DuVall, Scott L.Preserving academic poster contentPosters are an important way to share information between academia and industry. They are presented at national conferences, regional meetings, and even in university departments. There were almost 75,000 calls for poster submissions last year alone. Most posters are presented for only a few hours...Poster preservation; Trapeze Interactive Poster2009

14 Wever Pinzon, Omar EnriqueSudden cardiac death in young competitive athletes due to genetic cardiac abnormalitiesSudden cardiac death (SCD) in young athletes is generally caused by inherited cardiac disorders. While these events are relatively few compared to other cardiac deaths, they are tragic in that death occurs in a young, otherwise healthy person. The genetic abnormalities most associated with SCD are h...2009
15 Camp, Nicola J.SumLINK statistic for linkage analysis: application to the ICPCG pooled linkage resourceWe propose a novel, genome-wide, linkagebased statistic, "sumLINK," for identification of disease susceptibility loci. Our approach focuses primarily on "linked" pedigrees (those with pedigree-specific LOD ? 0.588; equivalent to unadjusted p ? 0.05) to identify regions of extreme consistency across ...SumLINK; Linkage analysis; ICPCG; Disease susceptibility loci; Trapeze Interactive Poster2009
16 Camp, Nicola J.Survey of excess familiality in prostate cancerProstate cancer (PCa) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among men, and has long been recognized to occur in familial clusters. However, identification of genes predisposing individuals to prostate cancer has been difficult. Putative PCa predisposition loci identified by genetic linkage have been...Prostate cancer; Utah Population Database; Linkage analysis; Familial compotent; Excess familiality; Trapeze Interactive Poster2009
17 Dailey, Andrew T.Thoracolumbar spine trauma classification: the Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity Score system and case examplesObject.

18 Dailey, Andrew T.; Brodke, Darrel S.Timing and influence of MRI on the management of patients with cervical facet dislocations remains highly variable: a survey of members of the Spine Trauma Study GroupBackground: Traumatic cervical facet dislocations are potentially devastating injuries. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an excellent means of assessing ligamentous disruption, disk herniation, and compression of the neural elements. However, despite an improved understanding of these facet dislo...Cervical facet dislocations; MRI; Spine Trauma Study Group2009
19 DuVall, Scott L.Understanding the profile of errors that cause duplicate entries in a patient registryDuplicate records are detrimental to the cost-effective and efficient delivery of health care.
