Summary: Despite the importance of ambulatory care training in primary care residency programs, the study found that the percentage of time spent in ambulatory care by PGY-1 residents varies due to factors such as program size, funding sources, and patient populations. Larger ACGME-accredited family medicine and internal medicine programs, as well as those receiving federal THC GME funding, had more PGY-1 time spent in ambulatory care settings.

Summary: The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationships between eHealth literacy (eHL) and patient portal awareness, use, and attitudes among hospitalized patients. The results showed that low eHL was associated with less awareness, use, and perceived usefulness of portals. Interestingly, although patients' perceived usefulness of portals increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, their eHL did not. Interventions tailored for patients with low eHL could ensure greater equity in health care delivery through the COVID-19 pandemic.

Summary: The study aimed to describe multimodal pain management practices at US children's hospitals and evaluate the association between non-opioid pain management strategies and pediatric patient-reported outcomes. The use of postoperative non-opioid analgesics has been widely adopted, while preoperative non-opioid analgesics and regional anesthetic blocks are less frequently used. Regional anesthetic blocks and biobehavioral interventions may help mitigate postoperative nervousness in children, but there was no significant association between non-opioid pain control modalities and pain-related functional disability or health-related quality of life.
