Breastfeeding (BF) is vital for maternal and infant health, yet post-hospital discharge support remains a challenge. The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) provides BF peer counseling prenatally and up to 1-year postpartum among low-income women in the United States. The Lactation Advice Through Texting Can Help (LATCH) intervention is an evidence-based two-way text messaging intervention that provides BF education and support in the WIC peer counseling program.

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the effect of opioid prescribing guideline implementation for elective spine surgery cases on prescribing and consumption behaviors in a multisite academic hospital system. The effectiveness of an automated text messaging system as a tool to monitor postoperative opioid use and pain outcomes and inform guideline development and deployment is also evaluated.
Methods: The authors conducted a prospective study of postoperative opioid use behaviors and patient-reported outcomes for 2101 elective spine surgery cases between December 2018 and March 2022, prior to and following the implementation of opioid-prescribing guidelines in February 2021 at three urban hospital sites within a large academic health system.

Introduction Our pilot Emergency Department Discharge Center (EDDC) facilitates post-discharge appointments, and screens for social determinants of health (SDoH) with a long, paper-based tool. No criteria guide which patients to refer to EDDC for appointment-making. Patients screening positive for SDoH are texted or emailed a list of community-based organizations (CBOs) to contact; the screening tool doesn't assess patients' interest or ability to contact CBOs.
