Exploring Patient, Proxy, and Clinician Perspectives on the Value and Impact of an Inpatient Portal: A Reflexive Thematic Analysis.

Background: Research exploring perspectives on inpatient portals reports that patients desire the information affordances of inpatient portals, and clinicians recognize their value for improving patient experience but also express caution regarding sharing aspects of the medical record. This study contributed to the existing literature on inpatient portals by considering the psychosocial dimension of clinician resistance to information sharing with inpatients and the power dynamic associated with clinician-patient information asymmetry. Along with the information affordances commonly discussed in this area, this study explored perspectives on the novel option to audio record consultations via an inpatient portal.

Enabling awareness, agency and participation: Haematology patient experiences of an (in)patient portal's information affordances.

This study examines patient experiences of an inpatient portal's information affordances, including access to results, notes, vital signs, medication information and a schedule. Patient participants were recruited from an inpatient ward primarily catering to patients with haematological malignancies including leukaemia and bone marrow transplant recipients at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. Although focused on the inpatient experience of a portal's information affordances accessed via a hospital-provided tablet, due to limited patient access to notes in the inpatient context, this study also explored patient experiences of their outpatient portal notes accessed via their smartphone.

Feasibility of an allied health led, workplace delivered Long COVID service for hospital staff: a mixed-methods study.

Objective This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a workplace-delivered outpatient multidisciplinary service (ReCOV) for staff experiencing post COVID-19 condition ('Long COVID'). Methods A mixed-methods study of staff at a large, tertiary hospital with Long COVID who attended the service was conducted. Participants completed questionnaires to determine baseline symptoms and were offered allied health appointments for up to 12weeks each based on clinical indication.

Recovering from COVID-19 (ReCOV): Feasibility of an Allied-Health-Led Multidisciplinary Outpatient Rehabilitation Service for People with Long COVID.

Background: A multidisciplinary approach is required for the management of long COVID. The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility (demand, implementation, practicality, acceptability, and limited efficacy) of an allied-health-led multidisciplinary symptom management service (ReCOV) for long COVID.

Methods: A single-group observational cohort feasibility study was conducted to determine demand (referrals), acceptability (survey), implementation (waitlist times, health professions seen), practicality (adverse events), and limited efficacy (admission and discharge scores from the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Scale, Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ), Patient Health Questionnaire, and EuroQol 5D-5L).

The Canadian Hypoglycemia During Hospitalization Score Is Externally Valid in the Australian Diabetes IN-hospital: Glucose & Outcomes (DINGO) Cohort.

Objectives: The Hypoglycemia During Hospitalization (HyDHo) score predicts hypoglycemia in a population of Canadian inpatients by assigning various weightings to 5 key clinical criteria known at the time of admission, in particular age, recent presentation to an emergency department, insulin use, use of oral hypoglycemic agents, and chronic kidney disease. Our aim in this study was to externally validate the HyDHo score by applying this risk calculator to an Australian population of inpatients with diabetes.

Methods: This study was a retrospective data analysis of a subset of the Diabetes IN-hospital: Glucose & Outcomes (DINGO) cohort.
