Visit Experience and Fulfillment of Care Needs in Primary Care Differs for Video Visits Compared to In-person and Chat Visits.

Background: There is a lack of research comparing patient experience and to what extent patients' care needs are fulfilled in telemedicine compared to in-person care.

Objective: To investigate if patient experience and fulfillment of care needs differ between video and chat visits with direct to consumer telemedicine providers compared to in-person visits.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Individual Patient Factors Associated with the Use of Physical or Digital Primary Care in Sweden.

Escape to the future - a qualitative study of physicians' views on the work environment, education, and support in a digital context.

Background: The use of remote services such as video consultations (VCs) has increased significantly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. In Sweden, private healthcare providers offering VCs have grown substantially since 2016 and have been controversial. Few studies have focused on physicians' experiences providing care in this context.

The Future of Online Video Consultations in Primary Care: A Qualitative Study.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased the use of remote services such as video consultations (VCs). In Sweden, private healthcare providers offering VCs have grown substantially since 2016 and have been controversial. Few studies have focused on physicians' experiences of providing care in this context.

Socioeconomic, medical and demographic characteristics of early adopters of digital primary care.

Aims: In this paper, we investigated which socioeconomic and demographic groups first adopted digital primary care video consultations when they became accessible to the entire population in Sweden.

Methods: We analysed data on all patients (378,000) who had a consultation with the largest provider of digital healthcare in Sweden - Kry - in the first years of national availability of the service, 2016-2018. We studied their income, education, demographics, and diagnosis backgrounds using matched registry data.

Nurses' experience of using video consultation in a digital care setting and its impact on their workflow and communication.

Sweden as many other countries uses video consultation to increase patients' access to primary healthcare services particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Working in digital care settings and using new technologies, in this case video consultations, require learning new skills and adoption to new workflow. The aim of this study is to explore nurses' experience of using video consultation in a digital care setting and its impact on their workflow and communication.

Evaluation of interprofessional teamwork modules implementation in an emergency department - A mixed-methods case study of implementation fidelity.

Background: The need for interprofessional collaboration has been emphasized by health organizations. This study was part of a mixed-methods evaluation of interprofessional teamwork modules implementation in an emergency department (ED), where a major intervention was didactic training of team roles and behaviours in combination with practice scenarios. The aim of the study was to evaluate the implementation of interprofessional teamwork modules from a staff perspective and focus on how implementation fidelity may be sustained.

Can dedicated emergency team and area for older people reduce the hospital admission rate? - An observational pre- and post-intervention study.

Background: Emergency department (ED) care of older patients is often complex. Geriatric ED guidelines can help to meet this challenge. However, training requirements, the use of time-consuming tools for comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA), a lack of golden standard to identify the frail patients, and the weak evidence of positive outcomes of using CGA in EDs pose barriers to introduce the guidelines.

Interprofessional teamwork versus fast track streaming in an emergency department-An observational cohort study of two strategies for enhancing the throughput of orthopedic patients presenting limb injuries or back pain.

Objective: To compare two strategies, interprofessional teams versus fast track streaming, for orthopedic patients with limb injuries or back pain, the most frequent orthopedic complaints in an emergency department.

Methods: An observational before-and-after study at an adult emergency department from May 2012 to Nov 2015. Patients who arrived on weekdays from 8 am to 9 pm and presented limb injury or back pain during one year of each process were included, so that 11,573 orthopedic presentations were included in the fast track period and 10,978 in the teamwork period.

Can interprofessional teamwork reduce patient throughput times? A longitudinal single-centre study of three different triage processes at a Swedish emergency department.

Objective: To determine the impact on emergency department (ED) throughput times and proportion of patients who leave without being seen by a physician (LWBS) of two triage interventions, where comprehensive nurse-led triage was first replaced by senior physician-led triage and then by interprofessional teamwork.

Design: Single-centre before-and-after study.

Setting: Adult ED of a Swedish urban hospital.

Forecasting emergency department visits using internet data.

Study Objective: Using Internet data to forecast emergency department (ED) visits might enable a model that reflects behavioral trends and thereby be a valid tool for health care providers with which to allocate resources and prevent crowding. The aim of this study is to investigate whether Web site visits to a regional medical Web site, the Stockholm Health Care Guide, a proxy for the general public's concern of their health, could be used to predict the ED attendance for the coming day.

Methods: In a retrospective, observational, cross-sectional study, a model for forecasting the daily number of ED visits was derived and validated.

Swedish emergency department triage and interventions for improved patient flows: a national update.

Background: In Scandinavia, emergency department triage and patient flow processes, are under development. In Sweden, the triage development has resulted in two new triage scales, the Adaptive Process Triage and the Medical Emergency Triage and Treatment System. Both these scales have logistic components, aiming to improve patient flows.

Experimental treatment for focal hyperglycemic ischemic brain injury in the rat.

Hyperglycemia aggravates ischemic brain injury, possibly due to the activation of signaling pathways involving reactive oxygen species, Src and mitogen-activated protein kinases. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the spin trap agent alpha-phenyl-N-tert-butyl nitrone (PBN), the Src family kinase inhibitor PP2 and the MEK1-inhibitor U0126 on focal hyperglycemic ischemic brain injury. Temporary middle cerebral artery occlusion (90 min) was induced in four groups of rats (PBN, PP2, and U0126 vs.
