General Practitioner's Experience of Public-Private Partnerships to Develop Team-Based Care: A Qualitative Study.

A tripartite public-private partnership was established between GPs' practices, public health authorities and a university department of family medicine, to develop multidisciplinary teams and integrate nurses into GPs' practices. The present paper describes the points of view of the GPs involved in this collaboration. We conducted a qualitative study, with data coming from eight interviews with GPs, one from each practice.

[Experience of an interprofessional family practice in a medical residency pathways].

This article is based on an experience during family medicine residency in a family medicine practice participating in the MOCCA project (Coordination model in family medicine practices). This new model of care integrates a family medicine nurse (FMN) into the team of each practice. Three clinical vignettes and an interview with the people involved provide a better understanding of the new role that the FMN can play in medical practices.

The role of general practitioners in managing the COVID-19 pandemic in a private healthcare system.

Background: The canton of Vaud's public health authorities, in Switzerland, invited general practitioners (GPs) to participate in managing suspected COVID-19 patients and continue caring for their non-COVID-19 patients. However, this course of action was not mandatory. The present study's objective was to describe and understand how involved GPs were in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic's first wave.

Influence of reconstruction parameters during filtered backprojection and ordered-subset expectation maximization in the measurement of the left-ventricular volumes and function during gated SPECT.

Unlabelled: A crucial method for investigating patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is the calculation of the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). It is, consequently, imperative to precisely estimate the value of LVEF--a process that can be done with myocardial perfusion scintigraphy. Therefore, the present study aimed to establish and compare the estimation performance of the quantitative parameters of the reconstruction methods filtered backprojection (FBP) and ordered-subset expectation maximization (OSEM).
