Background: The impact of cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) on functional dependency (FD) is well established, but the temporal effect of FD on CMM and its mechanisms remain underexplored.
Design: A multicohort study pooled data from three international cohorts.
Setting: Data were sourced from the Health and Retirement Study (USA), the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (China) and the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in 18 European countries.
Article Synopsis
- - Empathic care is beneficial for both patients and healthcare practitioners, but fostering empathy requires more than just training; it needs a supportive environment and strong leadership.
- - Practitioner burnout and negative work conditions can hinder empathy, especially when dealing with dissatisfied patients.
- - To improve empathy in healthcare, it's essential to address systemic issues, including staff education, leadership quality, and workspace design, alongside individual practitioner training.
Background: Brazil's Universal Health System is the world's largest and covers every citizen without out-of-pocket costs. Nonetheless, healthcare inequities across regions have never been systematically evaluated.
Methods: We used government databases to compare healthcare resource utilization, outcomes, expenditure, and years of life lost between 2016 and 2019.
Three healthcare revolutions and four medical paradigm shifts have had a profound impact on the development of healthcare system, which has greatly improved human health, however, the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed hidden dangers and problems in the construction of the healthcare system. In this paper, we made a brief introduction of population medicine and value-based healthcare for the purpose of suggesting new ideas and directions for the future development of healthcare system.

Purpose: Decision-makers are looking for innovative approaches to improve patient experience and outcomes with the finite resources available in healthcare. The concept of value-based healthcare has been proposed as one such approach. Since unsafe care hinders patient experience and contributes to waste, the purpose of this paper is to investigate how the value-based approach can help broaden the existing concept of patient safety culture and thus, improve patient safety and healthcare value.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The recent emphasis on value-based health care (VBHC) is thought to provide new opportunities for shared decision-making (SDM) in the Netherlands, especially when using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in routine medical encounters. It is still largely unclear about how PROMs could be linked to SDM and what we expect from clinicians in this respect.
Aim: To describe approaches and lessons learned in the fields of SDM and VBHC implementation that converge in using PROMs in medical encounters.
