Introduction: There is growing evidence within the healthcare sector that employee investigations can harm individuals involved in the process, an organization's culture and the delivery of its services.

Methods: This paper details an intervention developed by an NHS Wales organization to reduce the number of its employee investigations through an organization-wide focus that promoted a 'last resort' approach and introduced the concept of 'avoidable employee harm'. A range of associated improvement initiatives were developed to support behavior change among those responsible for determining whether an employee investigation should be initiated.

Background: Inner context organizational factors proximally shape therapist experiences with evidence-based practice (EBP) implementation and may influence therapist self-efficacy, which has been linked to sustained use of EBPs in community mental health settings. Research has primarily focused on constructs such as implementation leadership and climate. However, the effects of such factors may depend upon other inner context dimensions, such as psychological safety.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent advancements in extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy have led to low-pressure wide focus systems, which improve stone fragmentation compared to traditional methods.
  • A study compared two shockwave sources (Xinin Lithotripter - XL and Siemens Lithoskop - SL) using sound field measurements and observing stone fragmentation results.
  • While XL showed a more homogeneous disintegration with reduced trauma, it required more shockwaves and time for complete fragmentation, whereas SL was quicker but provided less uniform results.
