Goal: A lack of healthcare worker well-being is a serious threat to patient care quality and safety, as well as to the overall operational performance of hospitals in the US healthcare delivery system. Extreme resilience depletion and compassion fatigue are known to negatively influence individual well-being and have contributed to the rise in turnover in the healthcare workforce. The primary aim of this research was to identify interventions that health system leaders can use to combat resilience depletion and exhaustion among healthcare workers.

Importance: The kidney transplant (KT) evaluation process is particularly time consuming and burdensome for Black patients, who report more discrimination, racism, and mistrust in health care than White patients. Whether alleviating patient burden in the KT evaluation process may improve perceptions of health care and enhance patients' experiences is important to understand.
Objective: To investigate whether Black and White participants would experience improvements in perceptions of health care after undergoing a streamlined, concierge-based approach to KT evaluation.

Community care is a creative way of thinking about health care that mobilizes resources within a community and consists of four core principles: recognition of the urgency of access-to-care for the veterinary profession, collaboration within community networks, family-centered health care, and redefining the gold standard of care. The AAHA Community Care Guidelines for Small Animal Practice offer strategies to help busy veterinary practitioners increase access to care within their practice and community by optimizing collaborative networks. While these guidelines do not claim to provide exhaustive solutions to access-to-care issues, they propose a starting point from which private practices can explore and implement workable solutions for their community and their practice.

Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the effectiveness of a virtually delivered mind-body program called VDTQM, which combines tai chi, qigong, and meditation, in treating low back pain (LBP) among adults.
- The study involved 350 participants, who were divided into a treatment group receiving 12 weeks of VDTQM classes and a waitlist control group, with outcomes measured primarily by pain-related disability and secondary factors like pain intensity and quality of life.
- Results indicated that the treatment group experienced significant improvements in pain-related disability and other outcomes at various points after treatment, suggesting that VDTQM could be a beneficial option for managing LBP.

Although the concept of Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) has been around for more than two decades, teaching methods and standards of curricula for nursing education related to SDOH are relatively new concepts. Here, we explore pedagogical frameworks, national standards, and recent progress in the study and implementation of SDOH curricula and the top teaching strategies implemented in various nursing and healthcare disciplines and across educational levels (undergraduate and graduate programs). Selected examples are used to illustrate lessons learned across disciplines in effective teaching strategies related to SDOH.
