Resilience, the capacity to recover from a setback or adversity, is a concept that has received considerable recent attention. An individual's resilience predicts their life trajectory following stressful events and this has increasingly been shown in a wide variety of applications. Our understanding of the degree to which we can modify our resilience, and the optimal means to do so, remains in its infancy. The US military has embraced extensive efforts to quantify and build resilience in service members in an effort to preserve the fighting force. We specifically look at the understanding of resilience as it relates to the athletes in terms of competition and return from injury. This article explores the concept of resilience, the efforts to build resilience, lessons learned from the military and applications of the resilience concept to surgical and trauma patients.

During public health crises such as pandemics, governments must rapidly adopt and implement wide-reaching policies and programs ("public policy interventions"). A key takeaway from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was that although numerous randomized controlled trials (RCTs) focussed on drugs and vaccines, few policy experiments were conducted to evaluate effects of public policy interventions across various sectors on viral transmission and other consequences. Moreover, many quasi-experimental studies were of spurious quality, thus proving unhelpful for informing public policy.

Department of Surgery, University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences.
Background: PSI-90, a composite measure comprising ten indicators, reflects the quality of care during hospital stays. The Hospital-Acquired Condition Reduction Program (HACRP), a Centers for Medicare and Medical Services (CMS) program, assesses hospital performance based on quality measures, including PSI-90, with financial implications for poor performers.
Objectives: To evaluate PSI events, establish workflows for accurate documentation, and foster collaboration across clinical and administrative teams, with the ultimate objective of reducing PSI events.

School of Global Public Health, New York University, New York, NY, USA.
Background: Community access to evidence-based information is critical, especially during a pandemic, as it can impact knowledge and adoption of health behaviors that affect health disparities. The field of dissemination and implementation (D&I) science is ideally positioned to address this need through its focus on reducing the research-to-practice gap through improved distribution of information. The purpose of this paper is to describe the creation of a weekly webinar series about COVID-19 directed toward community members, and the extent to which webinars were found useful and increased awareness of evidence-based information and services.

Rift Valley Fever is endemic in Sudan, with a notable outbreak declared in 2019, affecting multiple states. In this study, we examine the Red Sea State, Sudan's experience in applying the One Health approach, to contain Red-Sea RVF outbreak. A retrospective analysis of national and sub-national data and a review of literature were conducted to assess the application of One Health response and to derive lessons learned.
