Implementation of RxNorm as a terminology mediation standard for exchanging pharmacy medication between federal agencies.

AMIA Annu Symp Proc

Department of Defense, Tricare Management Activity, Falls Church, Virginia, USA.

Published: September 2007

The federal government is working toward its goal of achieving interoperability between health information systems through several multi-agency efforts. While some interoperability partnerships exist between federal agencies, only a few systems are involved and these projects have proven difficult to implement. This paper describes the process of implementing an interoperable standard for exchanging computable pharmacy data between the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Nursing staff and supervisors perceptions on stress and resilience: a qualitative study.

BMC Nurs

January 2025

Department of General Internal Medicine and Psychosomatics, University Hospital Heidelberg, Im Neuenheimer Feld 410, Heidelberg, 69120, Germany.

Background: Supervisor-subordinate relationship is high relevant in dealing with work-related stress and providing a compassionate, high-quality, and safe nursing care while meeting the needs of the hospital. Our aim was to assess the predisposing risk and resilience factors of the stress of nursing staff as well as to explore the common and distinctive perceptions of these factors between nurses without a managerial position (nursing staff) and employees in a supervising position (nurse managers, ward nurses).

Design: Generic qualitative study using half-standardized interviews.

Background: Obesity is a growing global epidemic, with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists emerging as effective pharmacological solutions for weight loss. However, these medications raise concerns in the context of aesthetic and reconstructive surgery due to their effects on wound healing, adipose tissue metabolism, and their potential impact on surgical outcomes.

Objective: To report two cases of delayed wound healing and fat necrosis in patients undergoing breast surgery while receiving GLP-1 receptor agonists for weight management.

Examining implementation outcomes in health information exchange systems: A scoping review.

J Biomed Inform

University of Toronto, Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, 155 College Street, Toronto, Ontario M5T 1P8, Canada. Electronic address:

Background: Health information exchange (HIE) facilitates the secure exchange of digital health data across disparate health systems and settings. The implementation of information technology projects in healthcare is complex, further complicated by the fact that implementation success, through the measure of implementation outcomes, has been inconsistently defined and evaluated. There is no known scoping review examining implementation success through implementation outcomes in the field of HIE technologies.

Effects of Variable Ventilation on Gas Exchange in an Experimental Model of Capnoperitoneum: A Randomized Crossover Study.

Anesth Analg

January 2025

From the Unit for Anaesthesiological Investigations, Department of Anaesthesiology, Pharmacology, Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine, University of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland.

Background: The rapid advancement of minimally invasive surgical techniques has made laparoscopy a preferred alternative because it reduces postoperative complications. However, inflating the peritoneum with CO2 causes a cranial shift of the diaphragm decreasing lung volume and impairing gas exchange. Additionally, CO2 absorption increases blood CO2 levels, further complicating mechanical ventilation when the lung function is already compromised.
