Leveraging the electronic health record to identify delivery of goal-concordant care.

Background: Goal-concordant care (GCC) is recognized as the highest quality of care and most important outcome measure for serious illness research, yet there is no agreed-upon or validated method to measure it.

Objective: Assess feasibility of measuring GCC using clinical documentation in the electronic health record (EHR).

Design: Retrospective chart review study.

Perceptions of multi-cancer early detection tests among communities facing barriers to health care.

Marginalized racial and ethnic groups and rural and lower income communities experience significant cancer inequities. Blood-based multi-cancer early detection tests (MCEDs) provide a simple and less invasive method to screen for multiple cancers at a single access point and may be an important strategy to reduce cancer inequities. In this qualitative study, we explored barriers and facilitators to MCED adoption among communities facing health care access barriers in Alaska, California, and Oregon.

A mixed-method exploration of functioning in Safe Schools/Healthy Students partnerships.

This paper presents a mixed-method approach to measuring the functioning of Safe Schools/Healthy Students (SS/HS) Initiative partnerships. The SS/HS national evaluation team developed a survey to collect partners' perceptions of functioning within SS/HS partnerships. Average partnership functioning scores were used to rank each site from lowest to highest.
