Unlabelled: The study of patient satisfaction from primary health care is a part of the broader project focused on assessment of the quality of health care system in Poland in the time of reforms.

The Aim Of The Study: To evaluate how Warsaw units of primary health care satisfy patients' needs concerning to accession, conditions and procedures of treatment and relations with staff.

Material And Methods: The investigations were undertaken in Epidemiology and Health Promotion Department at Public Health School of the Medical Centre for Postgraduate Education in collaboration with Mazovian Public Health Centre and Health Promotion and Postgraduate Department of the National Institute of Hygiene. The data were obtained from randomly selected sample of 191 patients waiting on visits to general practitioner in primary health care units. The original questionnaire was elaborated in Public Health School of the Medical Centre for Postgraduate Education. The questionnaire consist of demographic information and twenty three core questions containing general assessment of primary health care, accession, conditions and procedures of treatment and relation to the staff.

Results: Majority of waiting patients highly evaluated quality of services given them. The patients only one aspect of the primary health care assessed negatively, less then 50% of them stated that general practitioner took into account their economical situation.

Conclusions: (1) Collected data confirm the high level of patients' satisfaction with the units of primary health care. (2) Elaborated questionnaire seems to be useful measure for study of patients' satisfaction with health care services.

Retinal image registration is essential for monitoring eye diseases and planning treatments, yet it remains challenging due to large deformations, minimal overlap, and varying image quality. To address these challenges, we propose RetinaRegNet, a multi-stage image registration model with zero-shot generalizability across multiple retinal imaging modalities. RetinaRegNet begins by extracting image features using a pretrained latent diffusion model.

Background: Although existing disease preparedness and response frameworks provide guidance about strengthening emergency response capacity, little attention is paid to health service continuity during emergency responses. During the 2014 Ebola outbreak, there were 11,325 reported deaths due to the Ebola virus and yet disruption in access to care caused more than 10,000 additional deaths due to measles, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. Low- and middle-income countries account for the largest disease burden due to HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria and yet previous responses to health emergencies showed that HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria service delivery can be significantly disrupted.

Background: Monitoring vital signs in hospitalized patients is crucial for evaluating their clinical condition. While early warning scores like the modified early warning score (MEWS) are typically calculated 3 to 4 times daily through spot checks, they might not promptly identify early deterioration. Leveraging technologies that provide continuous monitoring of vital signs, combined with an early warning system, has the potential to identify clinical deterioration sooner.

Background: Health care systems and the nursing profession worldwide are being transformed by technology and digitalization. Nurses acquire digital competence through their own experience in daily practice, but also from education and training; nursing education providers thus play an important role. While nursing education providers have some level of digital competence, there is a need for ongoing training and support for them to develop more advanced skills and effectively integrate technology into their teaching.

Background: Longitudinal cohort studies have traditionally relied on clinic-based recruitment models, which limit cohort diversity and the generalizability of research outcomes. Digital research platforms can be used to increase participant access, improve study engagement, streamline data collection, and increase data quality; however, the efficacy and sustainability of digitally enabled studies rely heavily on the design, implementation, and management of the digital platform being used.

Objective: We sought to design and build a secure, privacy-preserving, validated, participant-centric digital health research platform (DHRP) to recruit and enroll participants, collect multimodal data, and engage participants from diverse backgrounds in the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) All of Us Research Program (AOU).
