Distribution of mHealth applications in Germany: analysis of the FeverApp registry.

Objective: In this observational study, we determined the distribution of mHealth applications (apps) in Germany using data from the FeverApp registry.

Methods: The registry data were processed to assess general monthly trends in app distribution, and a seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average model was decomposed to investigate time series. A sample comparison was made matching data from cold-called against self-registered distributers of the FeverApp.

Factors contributing to diabetic ketoacidosis readmission in hospital settings in the United States: A scoping review.

Background: Hospitalization of patients with DKA creates a significant burden on the US healthcare system. While previous studies have identified multiple potential contributors, a comprehensive review of the factors leading to DKA readmissions within the US healthcare system has not been done. This scoping review aims to identify how access to care, treatment adherence, socioeconomic status, race, and ethnicity impact DKA readmission-related patient morbidity and mortality and contribute to the socioeconomic burden on the US healthcare system.

Comparing different scoping and mapping review methodologies: A practical example using the nursing mobile workstation.

Aims: To provide (1) an overview of core characteristics of scoping and mapping review methodologies and (2) to illustrate the differences and similarities of these methodologies using literature on nursing mobile workstations.

Design: Systematic review.

Methods: Systematic searches were conducted to identify (1) scoping and mapping review methodologies used in the field of nursing and (2) literature on nursing mobile workstations.

Navigating the Future of Organisational Health Services Research in Germany and beyond: a Position Paper.

Background: Recent analyses have shown that in health services research in Germany, healthcare organisations are often considered primarily as a study setting, without fully taking their complex organisational nature into account, neither theoretically nor methodologically. Therefore, an initiative was launched to analyse the state of Organisational Health Services Research (OHSR) in Germany and to develop a strategic framework and road map to guide future efforts in the field. This paper summarizes positions that have been jointly developed by consulting experts from the interdisciplinary and international scientific community.
