The California collaborative network to promote data driven care and improve outcomes in early psychosis (EPI-CAL) project: rationale, background, design and methodology.

Background: A prolonged first episode of psychosis (FEP) without adequate treatment is a predictor of poor clinical, functional, and health outcomes and significant economic burden. Team-based "coordinated specialty care" (CSC) for early psychosis (EP) has established effectiveness in promoting clinical and functional recovery. However, California's CSC program implementation has been unsystematic and could benefit from standardizing its processes and data collection infrastructure.

Workplace support for physicians during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Did it affect burnout?

Background: A concern before 2020, physician burnout worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic. Little empirical data are available on pandemic workplace support interventions or their influence on burnout. We surveyed a national sample of frontline physicians on burnout and workplace support during the pandemic.

Case-control study exploring the short-term association of bronchiolitis with high blood pressure and hypertension in hospitalized children.

Background: Unlike in adults, there are limited pediatric data exploring the association between acute respiratory illnesses and blood pressure abnormalities. The aim of our study was to explore the association of bronchiolitis, a common respiratory illness, with elevated blood pressure in hospitalized children.

Methods: In this single center retrospective case-control study, we evaluated the association between bronchiolitis and elevated blood pressure and hypertension in hospitalized children, compared to a control group admitted with nonrespiratory conditions, using multivariate regression analyses.

The care and keeping of clinicians in quality improvement.

Objective: Although frontline clinicians are crucial in implementing and spreading innovations, their engagement in quality improvement remains suboptimal. Our goal was to identify facilitators and barriers to the development and engagement of clinicians in quality improvement.

Design: A 25-item questionnaire informed by theoretical frameworks was developed, tested and disseminated by email.
