Scoping review of outpatient dementia care programs in the U.S. from 2011-2023.

Objective: Mainstream primary care settings are suboptimal for providing high quality, accessible outpatient care for persons living with dementia (PLWD). To enhance dementia care quality and access, interprofessional dementia care programs have been implemented. We sought to review the characteristics of these programs.

The Impact of a Planned Change to Nurse Staffing Levels in Emergency Departments: A Pre-Test, Post-Test Design.

Aim: To examine burnout levels, nurse perceptions of the work environment, job satisfaction, intention to stay and quality of care for nurses working in emergency departments before and following a planned change to nurse staffing levels.

Design: A pre-post observational design.

Methods: A systematic approach (Nursing Hours per Patient Presentation) was introduced to determine nurse staffing levels based on patient presentations resulting in adjustments to nurse staffing.

Why vital signs observations are delayed and interrupted on acute hospital wards: A multisite observational study.

Background: Vital signs monitoring is key to identifying deteriorating hospital patients. However, adherence to monitoring protocols is limited, with observations frequently missed or delayed. Previous studies of interruptions and delays to vital signs observations have been descriptive, with none attempting to conceptualise the types of tasks that are prioritised over vital signs observations.

Teamwork between registered nurses and unlicensed assistive personnel in acute care settings: A scoping review.

Background: Unlicensed assistive personnel are increasingly employed to support the nursing workforce in providing bedside care.

Aim: To scope the literature on the factors influencing teamwork between registered nurses and unlicensed assistive personnel in acute care settings.

Methods: A scoping review was conducted using the Arksey and O'Malley (2005) framework.

Federated and reusable processing of Earth observation data.

The unprecedented and continuously growing volume of Earth Observation (EO) and geospatial data has necessitated a paradigm change where compute is collocated with the data archives in public clouds. However, as no single cloud platform can host all of this data, federated processing solutions that work across multiple cloud platforms are becoming increasingly relevant. A community-based approach to federated processing has started using openEO, a common Application Programming Interface (API) and set of well-defined processes that simplifies reuse and provides a valuable level of abstraction when handling large EO data volumes.
