Objectives: The Public Health Quality Improvement Exchange(PHQIX) is a free, openly available online community that supports public health practitioners in the rapidly evolving landscape of public health quality improvement (QI). This article's objective is to describe the user-centered development of PHQIX and its current content and examine how elements of a QI initiative may vary by an organization's characteristics or QI experience.
Methods: PHQIX was developed by taking a user-centered iterative design approach, seeking early and continued input from users to gather requirements for the website.
Purpose: Psychological interventions are labor-intensive and expensive, but e-health interventions may support them in primary care. In this study, we systematically reviewed the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of e-health interventions for depressive and anxiety symptoms and disorders in primary care.
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Cochrane library, Embase, and PsychINFO until January 2018, for randomized controlled trials of e-health interventions for depression or anxiety in primary care.
Context: Researchers and analysts have not completely examined word frequency analysis as an approach to creating a public health quality improvement taxonomy.
Objective: To develop a taxonomy of public health quality improvement concepts for an online exchange of quality improvement work.
Design: We analyzed documents, conducted an expert review, and employed a user-centered design along with a faceted search approach to make online entries searchable for users.
To survey advances in public and population health and epidemiology informatics over the past 18 months. We conducted a review of English-language research works conducted in the domain of public and population health informatics and published in MEDLINE or Web of Science between January 2015 and June 2016 where information technology or informatics was a primary subject or main component of the study methodology. Selected articles were presented using a thematic analysis based on the 2011 American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) Public Health Informatics Agenda tracks as a typology.
