PROBLEM: Given the complex interaction among patients, individual providers, health care teams, and the clinical environment, patient safety events with serious consequences are most likely to occur in intensive care units, operating rooms, and emergency departments (EDs). With low-frequency, high-risk events such as pediatric resuscitations, health care teams working in EDs may not have the clinical opportunity to identify deficiencies, review and reinforce knowledge and skills, and problem solve in authentic clinical conditions...

OBJECTIVES: Evidence linking end-of-life-care quality in ICUs to bereaved family members' psychologic distress remains limited by methodological insufficiencies of the few studies on this topic. To examine comprehensively the associations of family surrogates' severe anxiety and depressive symptoms with end-of-life-care quality in ICUs over their first 6 months of bereavement. DESIGN: Prospective, longitudinal, observational study. SETTING/PARTICIPANTS: Family surrogates (n = 278) were consecutively recruited from seven medical ICUs at two academically affiliated medical centers in Taiwan...

The study examines whether physicians' framing of clinical interactions is related to patient shared decision-making (SDM) satisfaction when using a clinical decision support tool (CDST) concerning mammographic screening. To answer this question, we combined (a) system log data from a CDST, (b) content coding of the physicians' message framing while using the CDST, and (c) a post-visit patient survey to assess SDM satisfaction concerning screening mammography. Results suggest that two types of message frames - consequence frames and numerical frames - moderated the relationship of the CDST on SDM satisfaction...

BACKGROUND: Palliative care interventions in the ED capture high-risk patients at a time of crisis and can dramatically improve patient-centered outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To understand the facilitators that contributed to the success of the Primary Palliative Care for Emergency Medicine (PRIM-ER) quality improvement pilot intervention. DESIGN: Effectiveness was evaluated through semi-structured interviews. Reach outcomes were measured by percent of all full-time emergency providers (physicians, physician assistants, nurses) who completed the intervention education components and baseline survey assessing attitudes and knowledge on end-of-life care...

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has affected the public health associations to a greater extent thus creating both opportunities and challenges for the public health associations across the world. Therefore, it is imperative to review the existing agendas, vision, mission, and objectives of well-known public health associations across the globe and how COVID-19 might change these agendas in the future. We appraised the existing agendas, vision, mission, scope, objectives, and priorities of public health associations and highlighted how these agendas might change over time following this pandemic...

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare disease. Regardless, patients with HAE have access to multiple state-of-the-art medications available for on-demand use and prevention that reduce the frequency and burden of HAE attacks. These treatments have greatly reduced the burden of disease and helped patients achieve improved quality of life. However, with greater numbers of therapeutic options, HAE care has become more complex. In this review, we addressed essential elements of an individualized comprehensive management plan for a patient with HAE...

We talk, text, email all day. Do we perceive things correctly? Do we need to improve the way we communicate? It is a truism that providing insufficient information about a patient results in delays and errors in management. How can we best communicate urgent triage or urgent changes in the patient condition? There is no substitute for a face-to-face conversation but what would the receiving end want to know? One starting point for those practicing acute neurology and neurocritical care is a new mnemonic TELL ME (Time course, Essence, Laboratory, Life-sustaining interventions, Management, Expectation), which will assist physicians in standardizing their communication skills before they start a conversation or pick up a phone...

OBJECTIVES: The current study sought to evaluate the communication skills of Iraqi physicians from a patient perspective, differentiating between "interpersonal" and "content" components of communication. In the past century, the doctor-patient relationship has changed considerably, shifting from a paternalistic, physician-dominated approach to a more dynamic and patient-centered. In such a context, effective communication skills have become even more crucial for good medical practice and most accreditation organizations urge medical schools to teach and evaluate communication skills...

Objective : Acupuncture is one of the most widely used treatments of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) within the military's health system. The success of CAM integration is partially dependent on both providers' and patients' perceptions that acupuncture is health-promoting. The aim of this research was to identify turning points, or changes, across treatments that enhanced or inhibited physicians' and patients' perception of acupuncture as health-promoting. Materials and Methods : Using a retrospective-interview approach, interviews were conducted with 15 family medicine physicians practicing medical acupuncture in a family medicine setting and with 17 patients ( N  = 32)...

OBJECTIVE: In current objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs), simulated encounters lacking realism reduce authenticity of assessment as students can take the OSCEs with a search-and-scan approach and trained empathy. Accordingly, patient-centeredness, the fundamental goal of OSCE, is not well assessed. This study evaluated the effect of a change in the OSCE scenario and checklist with respect to detecting students' patient-centeredness. METHODS: A scenario script for valid representation of a real clinical encounter was developed and defined as authenticated scenario...

OBJECTIVE:  This study demonstrates application of human factors methods for understanding causes for lack of timely follow-up of abnormal test results ("missed results") in outpatient settings. METHODS:  We identified 30 cases of missed test results by querying electronic health record data, developed a critical decision method (CDM)-based interview guide to understand decision-making processes, and interviewed physicians who ordered these tests. We analyzed transcribed responses using a contextual inquiry (CI)-based methodology to identify contextual factors contributing to missed results...
