Does a Community Care programme reach a high health need population and high users of acute care hospital services in Melbourne, Australia? An observational cohort study

Brendan Shannon, Kelly-Ann Bowles, Cylie Williams, Tanya Ravipati, Elise Deighton, Nadine Andrew

Summary: The Community Care programme aims to reduce hospitalisations and emergency department visits among patients with complex needs. This study found that factors associated with enrolment in the programme include age, frequent hospitalisations and emergency department visits, and chronic diseases. However, individuals residing in residential aged care homes were not adequately represented in the programme.

Residents transitioning between hospital and care homes: protocol for codesigning a systems-level response to safety issues (SafeST study)

Jason Scott, Katie Brittain, Kate Byrnes, Pam Dawson, Stephanie Mulrine, Michele Spencer, Justin Waring, Lesley Young-Murphy

Summary: This study aims to investigate incident reporting during transitions in care between hospital and care home, and to develop a system-level response to safety issues. The study will develop a taxonomy of incident reporting in care homes through interviews, scoping review, and policy review, and will analyze data and develop service specifications. The findings of this study will contribute to the improvement of integrated care.

Shifting paradigms: Developmental milestones for integrated care

James Shaw, Jennifer Gutberg, Paul Wankah, Mudathira Kadu, Carolyn Steele Gray, Ann McKillop, G. Ross Baker, Mylaine Breton, Walter P. Wodchis

Summary: This article introduces a novel strategy for conceptualizing integrated care and presents a typology of milestones based on analysis of cases in Canada and New Zealand. By analyzing interviews with managers and leaders, the authors generate a detailed timeline of integrated care development and propose a comprehensive framework of developmental milestones. This framework can assist policymakers and healthcare leaders in supporting the implementation of integrated care.

Relationship between patient safety culture and patient experience in hospital settings: a scoping review protocol

Adel Alabdaly, Deborah Debono, Reece Hinchcliff, Su-Yin Hor

Summary: This article describes a protocol for a scoping review of the relationship between patient safety culture and patient experience in hospital settings, aiming to provide an overview of this relationship, map key concepts, and identify research gaps. The study will follow Arksey and O'Malley's framework with five stages, as well as the Population, Concept and Context Framework for data extraction and analysis. Ethical review is not required, and results will be disseminated through publication in a peer-reviewed journal and conference presentations.

4D Printing of Glass Fiber-Regulated Shape Shifting Structures with High Stiffness

Shayuan Weng, Xiao Kuang, Qiang Zhang, Craig M. Hamel, Devin J. Roach, Ning Hu, H. Jerry Qi

Summary: The research demonstrates a method to design and manufacture self-morphing structures with large deformation and high modulus using composite inks printed by multimaterial direct ink writing (DIW). The anisotropic mechanical properties achieved through aligned glass fibers enable shape shifting during printing, and postphotocuring increases stiffness significantly. The structures show potential for applications in morphing lightweight structures with load-bearing capabilities.

Underserved population acceptance of combination influenza-COVID-19 booster vaccines

Robert P. Lennon, Ray Block, Eric C. Schneider, Laurie Zephrin, Arnav Shah

Summary: Recent data suggests increasing hesitancy towards both COVID-19 and influenza vaccination. Among US adults, acceptance rates for a COVID-19 booster alone, an influenza vaccine alone, and a combination influenza-COVID-19 booster vaccine were 45%, 58%, and 50% respectively. Acceptance was lower among female, Black/African American, Native American/American Indian, and rural respondents, while higher acceptance was found among those with college and post-graduate degrees.

The distillation method: A novel approach for analyzing randomized trials when exposure to the intervention is diluted

John L. Adams, Anna C. Davis, Eric C. Schneider, Michaela M. Hull, Elizabeth A. McGlynn

Summary: This article introduces a novel analytical approach for underpowered randomized controlled trials, which addresses the issue of low participant enrollment or engagement. The Distillation Method increases the power of the trial by redefining the estimand to subpopulations with higher enrollment probabilities and stronger treatment effects, while maintaining the original randomization.
