Linking theory and practice to advance sustainable healthcare: the development of maturity model version 1.0.

Background: Climate change and increased awareness of planetary health have made reducing ecological footprints a priority for healthcare organizations. However, improving healthcare's environmental impact remains difficult. Numerous researchers argue these difficulties are caused by healthcare's environmental impact being multidimensional, influenced throughout the healthcare chain, and often has downstream consequences that are hard to identify or to measure.

A one year follow-up on quality of adherent scars after autologous fat grafting processed by a filtration technique.

Autologous fat grafting (AFG), mostly in combination with adhesiolysis, has become the workhorse for reconstructing a dysfunctional or absent subcutaneous layer. In a previous study we showed that fat grafts isolated by centrifuging led to more than 20 % improvement in scar pliability. Nevertheless, there is still debate on which technique should be used to process and purify fat grafts.

Implementation of Green Lean Six Sigma in Dutch Healthcare: A Qualitative Study of Healthcare Professionals' Experiences.

The healthcare sector significantly contributes to environmental degradation, highlighting the need for sustainable practices. Green Lean Six Sigma (GLSS) offers a relevant and impactful approach to reduce healthcare's environmental footprint while improving efficiency. By incorporating environmental considerations into Lean Six Sigma, GLSS has the potential to mitigate healthcare's environmental impact and promote environmental sustainability.

Challenges in Teledermoscopy Diagnostic Outcome Studies: Scoping Review of Heterogeneous Study Characteristics.

Background: Teledermoscopy has demonstrated benefits such as decreased costs and enhanced access to dermatology care for skin cancer detection. However, the heterogeneity among teledermoscopy studies hinders the systematic reviews' synopsis of diagnostic outcomes, impeding trust and adoption in general practice and limiting overall health care benefits.

Objective: This study aims to improve understanding and standardization of teledermoscopy diagnostic studies, by identifying and categorizing study characteristics contributing to heterogeneity.

From Theory to Practice: Practical Applications of the MOLD-US Framework.

The MOLD-US framework has been developed to synthesize knowledge for (usability) researchers on aging- and disease-related barriers that can hamper the use of health information technology (HIT). However, dissemination in terms of practical applications of the framework is currently unknown and could inform industry and researchers for applying MOLD-US in practice, but also provide insights on the use of theoretical frameworks in HIT research. Therefore, a citation analysis was conducted on the paper presenting the MOLD-US framework.
