Changes in Primary Care Health Services During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Longitudinal Analysis of Data From Ontario.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted primary care, but its effect on quality of care is not well understood. We used health administrative data to understand the changes in quality-of-care measures for primary care between October 2018 and April 2022. We examined the following domains: cancer screening, chronic disease (diabetes) management, high-risk prescribing, continuity of care and capacity of primary care services.

Assessment of neurovascular uncoupling: APOE status is a key driver of early metabolic and vascular dysfunction.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia worldwide, with apolipoprotein Eε4 (APOEε4) being the strongest genetic risk factor. Current clinical diagnostic imaging focuses on amyloid and tau; however, new methods are needed for earlier detection.

Methods: PET imaging was used to assess metabolism-perfusion in both sexes of aging C57BL/6J, and hAPOE mice, and were verified by transcriptomics, and immunopathology.

Patient Experience With Resident Versus Staff Physicians: Results From a Cross-Sectional Patient Survey From Canadian Family Medicine Residencies.

Background And Objectives: We compared experiences of patients who reported usually being seen by a resident with those usually seen by a staff physician.

Methods: We analyzed responses to a patient experience survey distributed at 13 family medicine teaching practices affiliated with the University of Toronto between May and June 2020. We analyzed responses to seven questions pertaining to timely access, continuity, and patient-centeredness.

Assessment of Neurovascular Uncoupling: Status is a Key Driver of Early Metabolic and Vascular Dysfunction.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia worldwide, with apolipoprotein ε4 () being the strongest genetic risk factor. Current clinical diagnostic imaging focuses on amyloid and tau; however, new methods are needed for earlier detection.

Methods: PET imaging was used to assess metabolism-perfusion in both sexes of aging C57BL/6J, and h mice, and were verified by transcriptomics, and immunopathology.

Developing an Audit and Feedback Dashboard for Family Physicians: User-Centered Design Process.

Background: Audit and feedback (A&F), the summary and provision of clinical performance data, is a common quality improvement strategy. Successful design and implementation of A&F-or any quality improvement strategy-should incorporate evidence-informed best practices as well as context-specific end user input.

Objective: We used A&F theory and user-centered design to inform the development of a web-based primary care A&F dashboard.
