"Bupe by the Book": A study protocol for a pilot randomized controlled trial of library-facilitated telehealth to increase buprenorphine treatment among unstably housed individuals.

Background: Accessing opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment is difficult for individuals in unstable housing. This population often uses public libraries for computer and internet access, which could provide telehealth access to OUD treatment. Therefore, we developed a novel 12-week library-facilitated telehealth intervention study called "Bupe by the Book" (BBB), which uses library resources to facilitate the initiation and retention of OUD treatment with buprenorphine.

Investigating the impact of a multicomponent positive participatory organisational intervention on burnout in New Zealand emergency department staff: a prospective, multisite, before and after, mixed methods study.

Introduction: The well-being of healthcare workers (HCWs) is critical to providing excellent care. Recent evidence concerns the well-being of emergency department (ED) HCWs in New Zealand, with high levels of burnout found in a 2020 survey. This threat to providing high-quality acute care warrants improvement interventions.

A retrospective claims data analysis of health care utilization and cost among patients receiving multi-injection intraarticular hyaluronic acid.

Background: With the rising costs for knee arthroplasty, therapies that allow patients to avoid or delay surgery following knee osteoarthritis (KOA) may help in reducing overall health care costs. Multiple intraarticular hyaluronic acid (HA) products are available on the market, varying by formulation, molecular weight, and number of injections, but clinical and economic benefits may differ by product. To evaluate the all-cause and KOA-related health care resource utilization (HCRU) and costs among newly diagnosed patients with KOA treated with multi-injection HA.
