All the information obtained from the UH database was subsequently complemented with electronic health record (EHR) information captured via EMERSE (Electronic Medical Record Search Engine) in order to obtain the most accurate and complete information per patient, avoiding high missingness. |

We used EMERSE (Electronic Medical Record Search Engine) to identify relevant terms in all EHR notes (unstructured data) from the inpatient, outpatient, pathology, and radiology systems...In addition to the ability to search for specific terms, EMERSE allows for the easy searching of synonyms included within the tool (e.g. "depression" and "depressed mood" can be considered synonyms). EMERSE also allows for the creation of term bundles with Boolean logic to more efficiently search for relevant terms and exclude other terms. |

EMERSE suggests variations for ‘terms’ to assist in capturing constructs that may be written differently by numerous providers including potential for common misspelling (e.g., ‘suicide,’ ‘suicid,’ ‘sucide’). A total of 83 suicide-related search terms were suggested and used...EHRs of the 3429 patients were reviewed in EMERSE to confirm inclusion criteria were met. |

We used the Electronic Medical Record Search Engine (EMERSE) database and a series of predefined search terms listed in Table1 to facilitate thorough chart review. Reviewers used the EMERSE search tool to ensure thorough review of the available documentation...

The tool used in this study, EMERSE...specifically searches clinical documentation within the electronic medical records...searching through >2 million unique patients. By utilizing the rich and complex data contained in the clinicians' visit notes, the tool avoids the pitfalls of diagnostic inaccuracy seen with tools querying on ICD and billing codes, which are particularly limited in the case of catatonia.

Utilizing EMERSE to identify natural language elements in patient charts as our reference standard, which has been previously reported, allowed for efficient processing of a large number of patient charts.

Term bundles for food insecurity included terms such as food stamps, food pantry, and meals on wheels. Examples of terms related to homelessness included housing assistance, emergency shelter, and living in their car. EMERSE served as an innovative digital tool and essential component of this research study. EMERSE...has the potential to help practitioners, researchers, and administrators more effectively gather EHR data quickly and efficiently.

NSAID use data were abstracted...using EMERSE... which permitted the text of clinical notes and other documentation to be queried within 30 days of C. difficile testing. Keywords included a comprehensive list of terms for NSAIDs, including trade names.

Since the ISTH are strictly clinical criteria and there is no validated algorithm to help electronically identify bleeding cases according to these criteria, bleeding events were adjudicated and classified by trained clinicians who reviewed all participants' medical notes using EMERSE

Data abstraction was supported by the use of the University of Michigan Electronic Medical Record Search Engine, which has been used for a wide variety of peer-reviewed publications, and provides software features to comprehensively scan all clinical documents from our electronic health record system for keywords and phrases to ensure that even rarely mentioned events are detected.

The EMERSE data identification and collection tool allows for unstructured clinical notes (dictated or typed) from Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems to be searched by using various terms used in the EHR. EMERSE suggests variations for 'terms' to assist in capturing constructs that may be written differently by numerous providers including potential for common misspellings (e.g., "suicide," "suicid," "sucide").

To enhance the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the obtained information for each patient, additional data from Electronic Health Records (EHR) were incorporated using the Electronic Medical Record Search Engine (EMERSE).

This study has several strengths. We recorded incidence of RIs longitudinally, two years before and after PAP usage. Detailed chart queries for each patient provided granular data regarding RI events and PAP use. Finally, objective information on PAP use was abstracted from medical charts and confirmed PAP usage and adherence.

A retrospective cohort was obtained through use of...EMERSE...Cohort 1 contained one previously diagnosed patient with comorbid 22q11.2DS and TDD, and this patient was identified as high risk using this screening system and demonstrated the efficacy of the screening methodology.

Despite these limitations, strengths of this study include the use of EMERSE to identify eligible patients, collection of PROs immediately before and after treatments within an academic fertility center, and our ability to characterize an abundance of treatment characteristics using EHR documentation.

As mentioned above, one of the strengths of this study was the utilization of EMERSE. New information retrieval tools such as EMERSE have been instrumental in improving chart review efficiency for research and have demonstrated high levels of sensitivity and specificity.

Once the cohort was identified, a manual search confirmed all diagnoses and fractures. This was done by searching individual medical records with the assistance of an internally developed software, Electronic Medical Records Search Engine (EMERSE). EMERSE is a text- based search software that scans all medical re-cords. Researchers enter terms and phrase bundles to identify variables of interest on the corresponding record, which can then be viewed in full. This semiautomated process allows for the confirmation of whether a fracture diagnosis was due to an actual fracture event or a physician billing code for reimbursement of clinical tests to investigate if a fracture occurred.
