Article Synopsis
- The cancer incidence rates among adolescents and young adults (AYA) have risen by 30% since 1970, highlighting the need for discussing fertility preservation (FP) before gonadotoxic treatments.
- National guidelines recommend various FP options like oocyte, embryo, and ovarian tissue cryopreservation, with significant progress in the practice of these options since 2013.
- Despite advancements and recommendations, the use of FP services is inconsistent, and factors affecting decision-making—like financial constraints—remain important concerns for patients.
Objective: Delays in discharges have a downstream effect on emergency department admissions, wait times, intensive care unit transfers, and elective admissions. This quality improvement project's aim was to increase the percentage of discharges before noon from a hospital medicine service from 19% to 30% over a 6-month period and sustain the increase for 6 months.
Methods: Interventions included introduction of a dedicated patient flow provider (PFP), optimization of workflow, technology assistance with discharge tasks, and multidisciplinary education on patient flow.
Background: Advances in transcriptional profiling methods have enabled the discovery of molecular subtypes within and across traditional tissue-based cancer classifications. Such molecular subgroups hold potential for improving patient outcomes by guiding treatment decisions and revealing physiological distinctions and targetable pathways. Computational methods for stratifying transcriptomic data into molecular subgroups are increasingly abundant.
