Objective: Routine primary care data may be used for the derivation of clinical prediction rules and risk scores. We sought to measure the impact of a decision support system (DSS) on data completeness and freedom from bias.
Materials and Methods: We used the clinical documentation of 34 UK General Practitioners who took part in a previous study evaluating the DSS. They consulted with 12 standardized patients. In addition to suggesting diagnoses, the DSS facilitates data coding. We compared the documentation from consultations with the electronic health record (EHR) (baseline consultations) vs. consultations with the EHR-integrated DSS (supported consultations). We measured the proportion of EHR data items related to the physician’s final diagnosis. We expected that in baseline consultations, physicians would document only or predominantly observations related to their diagnosis, while in supported consultations, they would also document other observations as a result of exploring more diagnoses and/or ease of coding.
Results: Supported documentation contained significantly more codes (IRR=5.76 [4.31, 7.70] P<0.001) and less free text (IRR = 0.32 [0.27, 0.40] P<0.001) than baseline documentation. As expected, the proportion of diagnosis-related data was significantly lower (b=-0.08 [-0.11, -0.05] P<0.001) in the supported consultations, and this was the case for both codes and free text.
Conclusions: We provide evidence that data entry in the EHR is incomplete and reflects physicians’ cognitive biases. This has serious implications for epidemiological research that uses routine data. A DSS that facilitates and motivates data entry during the consultation can improve routine documentation.

Data/code files for the following project: I study the viability of Twitter-based measures for measuring public attitudes about the police. I find that Twitter-based measures track Gallup's measure of public attitudes starting around 2014, when Twitter user base stabilized, but not before 2014. Increases in Black Lives Matter protests are also associated with increases in negative sentiment measures from Twitter. The findings suggest that Twitter-based measures can be used to acquire granular evaluations of police performance, but they can be more useful in analyzing panel data of multiple agencies over time than in tracking a single geographical area over time.

The California System Performance Measures (CA SPMs) are a series of metrics developed by the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH), pursuant to Health and Safety Code §50220.7, that help the state and local jurisdictions assess their progress toward preventing, reducing, and ending homelessness. All measures except for Measure 1b are generated using data from the state’s Homelessness Data Integration System. Measure 1b and Point in Time (PIT) Count data are sourced from each Continuum of Care’s PIT Count. Measure 1b and PIT Count data are not shown for 2021 because of irregularities in that year’s counts. Measure 3 is not shown for the most recent period (period from 4/1/25 - 3/31/25) due to data discrepancies.

BackgroundNational Health Systems managers have been subject in recent years to considerable pressure to increase concentration and allow mergers. This pressure has been justified by a belief that larger hospitals lead to lower average costs and better clinical outcomes through the exploitation of economies of scale. In this context, the opportunity to measure scale efficiency is crucial to address the question of optimal productive size and to manage a fair allocation of resources.Methods and findingsThis paper analyses the stance of existing research on scale efficiency and optimal size of the hospital sector. We performed a systematic search of 45 past years (1969–2014) of research published in peer-reviewed scientific journals recorded by the Social Sciences Citation Index concerning this topic. We classified articles by the journal’s category, research topic, hospital setting, method and primary data analysis technique. Results showed that most of the studies were focussed on the analysis of technical and scale efficiency or on input / output ratio using Data Envelopment Analysis. We also find increasing interest concerning the effect of possible changes in hospital size on quality of care.ConclusionsStudies analysed in this review showed that economies of scale are present for merging hospitals. Results supported the current policy of expanding larger hospitals and restructuring/closing smaller hospitals. In terms of beds, studies reported consistent evidence of economies of scale for hospitals with 200–300 beds. Diseconomies of scale can be expected to occur below 200 beds and above 600 beds.

October 31, 2025 (Final DWR Data)
The 2018 Legislation required DWR to provide or otherwise identify data regarding the unique local conditions to support the calculation of an urban water use objective (CWC 10609. (b)(2) (C)). The urban water use objective (UWUO) is an estimate of aggregate efficient water use for the previous year based on adopted water use efficiency standards and local service area characteristics for that year.
UWUO is calculated as the sum of efficient indoor residential water use, efficient outdoor residential water use, efficient outdoor irrigation of landscape areas with dedicated irrigation meter for Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional (CII) water use, efficient water losses, and an estimated water use in accordance with variances, as appropriate. Details of urban water use objective calculations can be obtained from DWR’s Recommendations for Guidelines and Methodologies document (Recommendations for Guidelines and Methodologies for Calculating Urban Water Use Objective - https://water.ca.gov/-/media/DWR-Website/Web-Pages/Programs/Water-Use-And-Efficiency/2018-Water-Conservation-Legislation/Performance-Measures/UWUO_GM_WUES-DWR-2021-01B_COMPLETE.pdf).
The datasets provided in the links below enable urban retail water suppliers calculate efficient outdoor water uses (both residential and CII), agricultural variances, variances for significant uses of water for dust control for horse corals, and temporary provisions for water use for existing pools (as stated in Water Boards’ draft regulation). DWR will provide technical assistance for estimating the remaining UWUO components, as needed. Data for calculating outdoor water uses include:
• Reference evapotranspiration (ETo) – ETo is evaporation plant and soil surface plus transpiration through the leaves of standardized grass surfaces over which weather stations stand. Standardization of the surfaces is required because evapotranspiration (ET) depends on combinations of several factors, making it impractical to take measurements under all sets of conditions. Plant factors, known as crop coefficients (Kc) or landscape coefficients (KL), are used to convert ETo to actual water use by specific crop/plant. The ETo data that DWR provides to urban retail water suppliers for urban water use objective calculation purposes is derived from the California Irrigation Management Information System (CIMIS) program (https://cimis.water.ca.gov/). CIMIS is a network of over 150 automated weather stations throughout the state that measure weather data that are used to estimate ETo. CIMIS also provides daily maps of ETo at 2-km grid using the Spatial CIMIS modeling approach that couples satellite data with point measurements. The ETo data provided below for each urban retail water supplier is an area weighted average value from the Spatial CIMIS ETo.
• Effective precipitation (Peff) - Peff is the portion of total precipitation which becomes available for plant growth. Peff is affected by soil type, slope, land cover type, and intensity and duration of rainfall. DWR is using a soil water balance model, known as Cal-SIMETAW, to estimate daily Peff at 4-km grid and an area weighted average value is calculated at the service area level. Cal-SIMETAW is a model that was developed by UC Davis and DWR and it is widely used to quantify agricultural, and to some extent urban, water uses for the publication of DWR’s Water Plan Update. Peff from Cal-SIMETAW is capped at 25% of total precipitation to account for potential uncertainties in its estimation. Daily Peff at each grid point is aggregated to produce weighted average annual or seasonal Peff at the service area level. The total precipitation that Cal-SIMETAW uses to estimate Peff comes from the Parameter-elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM), which is a climate mapping model developed by the PRISM Climate Group at Oregon State University.
• Residential Landscape Area Measurement (LAM) – The 2018 Legislation required DWR to provide each urban retail water supplier with data regarding the area of residential irrigable lands in a manner that can reasonably be applied to the standards (CWC 10609.6.(b)). DWR delivered the LAM data to all retail water suppliers, and a tabular summary of selected data types will be provided here. The data summary that is provided in this file contains irrigable-irrigated (II), irrigable-not-irrigated (INI), and not irrigable (NI) irrigation status classes, as well as horse corral areas (HCL_area), agricultural areas (Ag_area), and pool areas (Pool_area) for all retail suppliers.
