Validity of the Johns Hopkins Adjusted Clinical Groups system on the utilisation of healthcare services in Norway: a retrospective cross-sectional study.

Background: The Adjusted Clinical Groups (ACG) System is a validated electronic risk stratification system. However, there is a lack of studies on the association between different ACG risk scores and the utilisation of different healthcare services using different sources of input data. The aim of this study was therefore to assess the validity of the association between five different ACG risk scores and the utilisation of a range of different healthcare services using input data from either general practitioners (GPs) or hospitals.

Development of Recommendations for the Digital Sharing of Notes With Adolescents in Mental Health Care: Delphi Study.

Background: In many countries, health care professionals are legally obliged to share information from electronic health records with patients.

Objective: The aim was to reach a consensus among authors of scientific papers on recommendations for health care professionals' digital sharing of notes with adolescents in mental health care and to investigate whether staff at child and adolescent specialist mental health care clinics agreed with the recommendations.

Healthcare professionals' experiences of interdisciplinary collaboration in pain centres - A qualitative study.

Objectives: The complexity of chronic pain requires interdisciplinary collaboration. Although this is recognisable in the framework for pain centres, few studies have investigated how interdisciplinary collaboration in pain centres is experienced by healthcare professionals, including the facilitators and barriers to interdisciplinary collaboration. The aim of the current study was therefore to investigate experiences of interdisciplinary collaboration in the treatment of patients with chronic pain among healthcare professionals in tertiary care pain centres.

The effect of using desktop VR to practice preoperative handovers with the ISBAR approach: a randomized controlled trial.

Aim: The aim was to investigate whether second-year undergraduate nursing students practicing the Identification-Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation (ISBAR) communication approach in a desktop virtual reality (VR) application had a non-inferior learning outcome compared with the traditional paper-based method when sorting patient information correctly based on the ISBAR structure.

Methods: A non-inferior parallel group assessor blinded randomized controlled trial, conducted in simulation sessions as part of preparation for clinical placements in March and April 2022. After a 20-minute introductory session, the participants were randomized to self-practice the ISBAR approach for 45 minutes in groups of three in either an interactive desktop VR application (intervention) or traditional paper-based (TP) simulation.
