Mental health service use and shortages among a cohort of women living with HIV in Canada.

Background: The prevalence of mental health conditions among women with HIV in Canada ranges between 29.5% and 57.4%, highlighting the need for accessible mental health care.

Prevalence of Physical Health, Mental Health, and Disability Comorbidities among Women Living with HIV in Canada.

Life expectancy for people living with HIV has increased, but management of HIV is now more complex due to comorbidities. This study aimed to measure the prevalence of comorbidities among women living with HIV in Canada. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using data from the 18-months survey (2014−2016) of the Canadian HIV Women’s Sexual and Reproductive Health Cohort Study (CHIWOS).

Continuing Patient Care during Electronic Health Record Downtime.

Introduction: Electronic health record (EHR) downtime is any period during which the EHR system is fully or partially unavailable. These periods are operationally disruptive and pose risks to patients. EHR downtime has not sufficiently been studied in the literature, and most hospitals are not adequately prepared.

Identification of Design Criteria to Improve Patient Care in Electronic Health Record Downtime.

Objective: Design criteria specifications (needs, obstacles, and context-of-use considerations) for continuing safe and efficient patient care activities during downtime were identified by using phenomenological analysis.

Methods: Interview transcripts from medical personnel who had experience with downtime incidents were examined using a phenomenological approach. This process allowed for the identification of design criteria for performing downtime patient care activities.

Stakeholder Perceptions of Risk in Construction.

Safety management in construction is an integral effort and its success requires inputs from all stakeholders across design and construction phases. Effective risk mitigation relies on the concordance of all stakeholders' risk perceptions. Many researchers have noticed the discordance of risk perceptions among critical stakeholders in safe construction work, however few have provided quantifiable evidence describing them.
