Exploring Gaps in Concussion Knowledge and Knowledge Translation Among Coaches of Youth Female Hockey.

Electronic health records (EHRs) and consumer health portals have implications for improving the quality and cost-effectiveness of healthcare and make it much easier for patients and families to access health information in a timely and convenient manner. However, the accessibility of information afforded by EHRs and health portals changes the dynamic of control over health information in very significant ways. Institutions and their clinicians have typically been the caretakers of these documents; therefore, the introduction of portals represents a major cultural shift in healthcare. The efforts of both clinicians and patients are needed to effectively make this shift, as the implementation of new technology is uniquely challenging within a healthcare setting. An interactive workshop was facilitated to understand clinicians' perceived challenges of this shift with a specific focus on the implications of increased transparency and patients' increased access to health information.

Clinical Documentation in an Era of Increasing Transparency: The Impact of Electronic Portals on Care.

Heart rate variability (HRV) is a non-invasive neurophysiological measure of autonomic nervous system regulation emerging in concussion research. To date, most concussion studies have focused on the university-aged athlete with no research examining healthy active youths. Corroborating changes in HRV alongside traditional subjective self-report measures (concussion symptoms) in the non-concussed state provides a foundation for interpreting change following concussion. The objectives were to (1) explore the influence of age and sex on HRV and (2) examine the relationship between HRV and baseline/pre-injury concussion symptom domains (physical, cognitive, emotional, and fatigue) in healthy youth athletes.
