Background: Quality of care can be measured in several dimensions: different clinical disciplines, structures/processes/outcomes of care (SPO), and also different domains of quality (effectiveness, safety, care coordination, patient-centeredness, efficiency, timeliness, and community/population health). To our knowledge, no previous study has compared different sets of performance measures in terms of how well they cover these different aspects of quality.
Objective: Compare the content coverage of major quality measure sets from Israel, the US, and the UK.

Background: The definition of 'recovery' has evolved beyond merely control of problem substance use to include other aspects of health and wellbeing (known as 'recovery capital') which are important to prevent relapse to problematic alcohol or other drug (AOD) use. Developing a Recovery Oriented System of Care (ROSC) requires consideration of interventions or services (Recovery Support Services, RSS) designed to build recovery capital which are often delivered alongside established treatment structures. Lived experience and its application to the process of engaging people, changing behaviour and relapse prevention is an essential part of these services.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to clarify the impact of an intervention combining exercise, lifestyle guidance, and community-building activities on the walking function of community-dwelling elderly individuals.
Methods: A total of 391 elderly participants (362 females, 29 males), aged 65 and above, were involved in a one-year intervention consisting of physical activities in a health exercise club, community-building activities, and dementia cafes. The walking function was assessed using an artificial intelligence (AI)-based gait analysis tool and health status was evaluated using a questionnaire.

Background: Active surveillance (AS) is the guideline-recommended treatment for low-risk prostate cancer and involves routine provider visits, lab tests, imaging, and prostate biopsies. Despite good uptake, adherence to AS, in terms of receiving recommended follow-up testing and remaining on AS in the absence of evidence of cancer progression, remains challenging.
Objective: We sought to better understand urologist, primary care providers (PCPs), and patient experiences with AS care delivery to identify opportunities to improve adherence.
