Published: August 2003

Process mapping is a qualitative tool that allows service providers, policy makers, researchers, and other concerned stakeholders to get a "bird's eye view" of a home health care organizational network or a very focused, in-depth view of a component of such a network. It can be used to share knowledge about community resources directed at the older population, identify gaps in resource availability and access, and promote on-going collaborative interactions that encourage systemic policy reassessment and programmatic refinement. This article is a methodological description of process mapping, which explores its utility as a practice and research tool, illustrates its use in describing service-providing networks, and discusses some of the issues that are key to successfully using this methodology.

Mapping the landscape of Hospital at home (HaH) care: a validated taxonomy for HaH care model classification.

BMC Health Serv Res

Institute Patient-Centered Digital Health, Bern University of Applied Sciences, Quellgasse 21, Biel, 2502, Switzerland.

Background: Hospital at home (HaH) care models have gained significant attention due to their potential to reduce healthcare costs, improve patient satisfaction, and lower readmission rates. However, the lack of a standardized classification system has hindered systematic evaluation and comparison of these models. Taxonomies serve as classification systems that simplify complexity and enhance understanding within a specific domain.

Tests for segregation distortion in tetraploid F1 populations.

Theor Appl Genet

January 2025

Horticultural Sciences Department, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, 32611, USA.

In tetraploid F1 populations, traditional segregation distortion tests often inaccurately flag SNPs due to ignoring polyploid meiosis processes and genotype uncertainty. We develop tests that account for these factors. Genotype data from tetraploid F1 populations are often collected in breeding programs for mapping and genomic selection purposes.

The alteration of neurovascular coupling (NVC), where acute localized blood flow increases following neural activity, plays a key role in several neurovascular processes including aging and neurodegeneration. While not equivalent to NVC, the coupling between simultaneously measured cerebral blood flow (CBF) with arterial spin labeling (ASL) and blood oxygenation dependent (BOLD) signals, can also be affected. Moreover, the acquisition of BOLD data allows the assessment of resting state (RS) fMRI metrics.

Identifying biologically significant protein complexes from protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks and understanding their roles are essential for elucidating protein functions, life processes, and disease mechanisms. Current methods typically rely on static PPI networks and model PPI data as pairwise relationships, which presents several limitations. Firstly, static PPI networks do not adequately represent the scopes and temporal dynamics of protein interactions.

cis-regulatory elements (CREs) control gene transcription dynamics across cell types and in response to the environment. In asthma, multiple immune cell types play an important role in the inflammatory process. Genetic variants in CREs can also affect gene expression response dynamics and contribute to asthma risk.
