Transformation to a Patient Centred Medical Home in an Urban Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service: A Qualitative Study Using Normalisation Process Theory.

Rationale: The Patient-Centred Medical Home (PCMH) is a model of team-based care that is patient centred, coordinated, accessible, and focused on quality and safety. To learn how this model of healthcare works in an Indigenous primary health care setting in Australia, we explored the experiences of health staff in an urban Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service (ACCHS) transitioning to an adapted model of a PCMH. Normalisation Process Theory (NPT) was applied to better understand factors enabling and inhibiting implementation of the PCMH, and the work required to deliver it.

Lessons Learned From Ventilated and Proned Patients With COVID-19: A Multisite Retrospective Study to Identify Predictive Factors for Facial Pressure Injuries.

Background: Many patients critically ill with COVID-19 develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) necessitating mechanical ventilation and proning. Although proning is lifesaving, it has been linked to the occurrence of facial pressure injuries (PIs).

Objectives: To evaluate the incidence and use of prevention strategies and identify predictors of facial PIs in patients who received ventilator and proning treatments in COVID-designated intensive care units at 2 large quaternary medical centers in the Midwest.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members' experiences of care in an urban Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service transforming to a Patient Centred Medical Home.

Background Few studies have examined patient experiences of the Patient Centred Medical Home (PCMH). This qualitative study explores the experiences of patients of an urban Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service during its transition to a model of a PCMH. Methods Twenty-eight community members who were registered as patients of an urban Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service were purposively recruited to participate in yarning interviews.

A New Automated Technology for Cerebrospinal Fluid Cell Counts: Comparison of Accuracy and Clinical Impact of GloCyte, Sysmex XN, and Manual Methods.

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to compare the performance of GloCyte (Advanced Instruments, Norwood, MA), a new semiautomated instrument for cerebrospinal fluid cell counting, with the manual hemocytometer method and the automated Sysmex XN (Sysmex, Kobe, Japan) body fluid mode. The clinical impact of replacing the manual method with either automated method was determined.

Methods: Fifty-seven samples from 38 patients were analyzed by all three methods.

"We wouldn't of made friends if we didn't come to Football United": the impacts of a football program on young people's peer, prosocial and cross-cultural relationships.

Background: Sport as a mechanism to build relationships across cultural boundaries and to build positive interactions among young people has often been promoted in the literature. However, robust evaluation of sport-for-development program impacts is limited. This study reports on an impact evaluation of a sport-for-development program in Australia, Football United(®).

Social cohesion through football: a quasi-experimental mixed methods design to evaluate a complex health promotion program.

Unlabelled: Social isolation and disengagement fragments local communities. Evidence indicates that refugee families are highly vulnerable to social isolation in their countries of resettlement. Research to identify approaches to best address this is needed.
