Two reliable models for predicting the success of change initiatives have been developed through the same research process. One model represents what is important in order to conduct successful improvements in the United States. The other model has been developed to predict successful improvement initiatives in Sweden. Through qualitative comparison between two reliable models we found some similarities and differences framing the underlying management heuristics for driving improvement initiatives. These findings are important pieces in transnational knowledge acquirement on quality improvements. They contribute a basis for discussions on transferability of management change concepts, and prompts for areas in need of considerations of adaptation before using different improvement ideas in other contexts than those for which they were developed.

Background: Clinical decision support systems leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) are increasingly integrated into health care practices, including pharmacy medication verification. Communicating uncertainty in an AI prediction is viewed as an important mechanism for boosting human collaboration and trust. Yet, little is known about the effects on human cognition as a result of interacting with such types of AI advice.

Department of Psychology, University of Bath, Bath, United Kingdom.
Background: Mental health problems in university students are associated with many negative outcomes, yet there is a gap between need and timely access to help. Single-session interventions (SSIs) are designed to be scalable and accessible, delivering core evidence-based intervention components within a one-off encounter.
Objective: COMET (Common Elements Toolbox) is an online self-help SSI that includes behavioral activation, cognitive restructuring, gratitude, and self-compassion.
An mHealth Intervention With Financial Incentives to Promote Smoking Cessation and Physical Activity Among Black Adults: Protocol for a Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial.
JMIR Res Protoc
January 2025
University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, OK, United States.
Background: Black adults in the United States experience disproportionately high rates of tobacco- and obesity-related diseases, driven in part by disparities in smoking cessation and physical activity. Smartphone-based interventions with financial incentives offer a scalable solution to address these health disparities.
Objective: This study aims to assess the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a mobile health intervention that provides financial incentives for smoking cessation and physical activity among Black adults.

Blood flow restriction exercise (BFRE) is a therapeutic approach traditionally used to facilitate muscular strength and hypertrophy. Emerging evidence has identified its benefits on other systems and metabolic processes. The emphasis of this study was to examine potential impact of BFRE on serum levels of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA).
