This paper reports the outcomes of a study on an integrated situational alignment framework for picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) labeled as PISA. Following the design research cycle, complementary validation methods and pilot cases were used to assess the proposed framework and its operationalized survey. In this paper, the authors outline (a) the process of the framework' development, (b) the validation process with its underlying iterative steps, (c) the outcomes of pilot cases, and (d) improvement opportunities to refine and further validate the PISA framework. Results of this study support empirical application of the framework to hospital enterprises in order to gain insights into their PACS maturity and alignment. We argue that the framework can be applied as a valuable tool for assessments, monitoring and benchmarking purposes and strategic PACS planning.

A Comparative Study Between Posterolateral Lumbar Fusion and Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion for Degenerative Lumbar Spondylolisthesis.

Introduction Degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) is a degenerative condition characterized by subluxation of one vertebral body anterior to the adjacent inferior vertebral body with an intact pars. Conservative treatment approaches, such as steroid injections and physical therapy, may work well at first, but in resistant situations, surgery is frequently necessary. Posterolateral lumbar fusion (PLF) has been widely used, but transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) offers theoretical advantages such as improved alignment and enhanced fusion rates.

Introduction: Genomic medicine has features that make it preference sensitive and amenable to model-based health economic evaluation. Preferences of patients, caregivers, and clinicians related to the uptake and delivery of genomic medicine technologies and services that are not captured in health state utility weights can affect the intervention's cost-effectiveness and budget impact. However, there is currently no established or agreed-on approach for integrating preference information into economic evaluations.

The University of West London Centre for Evidence-Based Healthcare: A JBI Centre of Excellence, College of Nursing, Midwifery and Healthcare, University of West London, London, United Kingdom.
Objective: The objective of this guidance paper is to describe data transformation involving qualitization, including when and how to undertake this process, and to clarify how it aligns with data extraction in order to expand on the current guidance for JBI convergent integrated mixed methods systematic reviews (MMSRs).
Introduction: The convergent integrated approach to MMSRs involves combining extracted data from both quantitative studies (including the quantitative components of mixed methods studies) and qualitative studies (including the qualitative components of mixed methods studies). This process requires data transformation, which can occur either by converting qualitative data into quantitative data (ie, quantitizing) or converting quantitative data into qualitative data (ie, qualitizing).
Professional training of prison service workers in the Czech Republic: historical development, aspects of importance and current challenges.
Int J Prison Health (2024)
January 2025
Department of Pedagogy, AMBIS vysoká škola, a.s./ AMBIS University, Prague, Czech Republic.
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to analyse the historical development and current challenges of professional training for prison service staff in the Czech Republic. This study focuses on the transition from a repressive system under communism to a democratic approach emphasising human rights, ethics and professionalisation. It aims to assess the effectiveness of the current training programmes and their alignment with international standards, highlighting their impact on safety, recidivism reduction and prisoner re-socialisation.

Specific research questions were as follows: Is the translated versions reliable? Is there a correlation between VCM and another questionnaire measuring discomfort to enhance the validity of VCM? The three versions of Visual CARE measure (VCM) were translated following the principles of good practice for translation and cultural adaptation of patient-reported outcome measures, according to the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR). Cognitive debriefing interviews with children, parents, and healthcare professionals were carried out.
