Data-Driven Assessment of Potentially Inappropriate Medication in the Elderly.
Multimorbid patients taking polypharmacy represent a growing population at high risk for inappropriate prescribing. Various lists for identifying potentially inappropriate medication are spread across scientific journals and difficult to access. ⋯ PIMBase is meant to be a web-based system and starting point for the data-driven assessment of polypharmacy to identify inappropriate medication and to improve the quality of prescribing. PIMBase is available at https://pimbase.kalis-amts.de.

Learning Healthcare Systems in Pediatrics: Cross-Institutional and Data-Driven Decision-Support for Intensive Care Environments (CADDIE).
The vast amount of data generated in healthcare can be reused to support decision-making by developing clinical decision-support systems. Since evidence is lacking in Pediatrics, it seems to be beneficial to design future systems towards the vision of generating evidence through cross-institutional data analysis and continuous learning cycles. ⋯ Our approach has great potential to establish our vision of learning systems, which support decision-making in PICU by analyzing cross-institutional data and giving insights back to both, their own knowledge base and clinical care, to continuously learn about practices and evidence in Pediatrics.
