Introduction This quality improvement (QI) initiative aimed to improve the clinical documentation of daily progress notes in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) by applying a standardized documentation template and conducting regular cycles of audit and feedback to ensure compliance and improvement. Methods Firstly, to better assess documentation practices impacting patient care, members of the NICU auditing team identified seven key points in medical records. These points were then used for the audit of 30 randomly selected "progress notes" for infants admitted to the NICU between January and June 2022.

Introduction: The introduction of process innovations in healthcare organizations faces challenges in knowledge sharing and incorporating best practices due to a strong professional autonomy, leading to resistance to change. The healthcare paradigm is shifting towards value-based organizations with a patient-centered approach, requiring multidisciplinary care. Change management is crucial, but current approaches are often limited.

Nylon 12 is valued for its exceptional properties and diverse industrial applications. Traditional chemical synthesis of nylon 12 faces significant technical challenges and environmental concerns, while bioproduction from plant-extracted decanoic acid (DDA) raises issues related to deforestation and biodiversity loss. Here, we show the development of an engineered Escherichia coli cell factory capable of biosynthesizing the nylon 12 monomer, ω-aminododecanoic acid (ω-AmDDA), from glucose.

Aims: Prolonged waits for hip and knee arthroplasty have raised questions about the equity of current approaches to waiting list prioritization for those awaiting surgery. We therefore set out to understand key stakeholder (patient and surgeon) preferences for the prioritization of patients awaiting such surgery, in order to guide future waiting list redesign.
Methods: A combined qualitative/quantitative approach was used.
