Article Synopsis
- Integrated behavioral health programs, like the PHLOW Program, help reduce costs and improve patient outcomes, but funding challenges hinder their widespread adoption.
- The PHLOW Program uses a collaborative care model to provide accessible psychiatric care through primary care providers, demonstrating effective patient outcomes through brief episodes of care.
- Results show reductions in anxiety and depression, lower mental health claims, and increased financial support, suggesting a viable model for other organizations to implement similar integrated behavioral health programs.
Article Synopsis
- An error grid is a tool that helps compare glucose levels measured by devices to see if they are correct and to identify any risks.
- Experts created a new error grid called the DTS Error Grid that works for both blood glucose monitors (BGMs) and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), organizing accuracy into five risk zones.
- The results showed that the DTS Error Grid provides a clearer picture of how accurate these devices are and includes a separate matrix to evaluate how well CGMs track glucose trends over time.
Purpose: The incidence, patient features, risk factors and outcomes of surgery-associated postoperative acute kidney injury (PO-AKI) across different countries and health care systems is unclear.
Methods: We conducted an international prospective, observational, multi-center study in 30 countries in patients undergoing major surgery (> 2-h duration and postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) or high dependency unit admission). The primary endpoint was the occurrence of PO-AKI within 72 h of surgery defined by the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria.
Purpose: To determine what research evidence exists for the use of residual limb supports (RLSs) for people with transtibial amputations and to describe clinicians' use of such supports in Nova Scotia.
Methods: Scoping review of published and gray literature using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews as a guide and an anonymous online and paper-based clinician survey.
Results: We identified 22 publications meeting criteria for review.
Objective: The objective of this review was to determine whether electronic health (eHealth) educational interventions about infant procedural pain and pain management impact parental outcomes (eg, mental health, knowledge uptake), eHealth outcomes (eg, acceptance, use), and pain management outcomes (eg, parental involvement, infant pain response).
Introduction: Pain in infants is a common concern for parents. Routine postpartum care for infants in early life requires them to endure painful procedures, such as immunizations, yet infants often receive little to no pain management.
