"We got there in the end…. somehow, we got there": a qualitative study of healthcare professionals providing care in the community to people with chronic aphasia, and how technology could assist.

Purpose: Little is known about the experience of healthcare professionals (HCPs) in the community providing healthcare to people with aphasia. In this study we aimed to explore the experiences of community HCPs in healthcare conversations with people with aphasia, and whether a high-tech, purpose-built aphasia app could assist.

Methods: A generic qualitative study was conducted.

What is visible is fixable: Visual dashboards for multi-domain assessment of organ procurement organization performance.

With stakeholder focus on the United States organ procurement system, there is a need for tools that permit comparative assessment of organ procurement providers. We developed a public-facing dashboard for organ procurement organizations (OPOs), using data from multiple sources, to create an online, readily accessible visualization of OPO practice conditions and performance for the period 2010-2020. With this tool, OPOs can be compared on the CMS metric of donors procured per 100 donation-consistent deaths, as well as donation after circulatory death procurement, procurement of older and minority patient populations, procurement in smaller hospitals, and procurement of patients without a significant drug history.
