Objective: We describe our experience in implementing enterprise-wide standardized structured reporting for chest radiographs (CXRs) via change management strategies and assess the economic impact of structured template adoption.
Methods: Enterprise-wide standardized structured CXR reporting was implemented in a large urban health care enterprise in two phases from September 2016 to March 2019: initial implementation of division-specific structured templates followed by introduction of auto launching cross-divisional consensus structured templates. Usage was tracked over time, and potential radiologist time savings were estimated. Correct-to-bill (CTB) rates were collected between January 2018 and May 2019 for radiography.
Results: CXR structured template adoption increased from 46% to 92% in phase 1 and to 96.2% in phase 2, resulting in an estimated 8.5 hours per month of radiologist time saved. CTB rates for both radiographs and all radiology reports showed a linearly increasing trend postintervention with radiography CTB rate showing greater absolute values with an average difference of 20% throughout the sampling period. The CTB rate for all modalities increased by 12%, and the rate for radiography increased by 8%.
Discussion: Change management strategies prompted adoption of division-specific structured templates, and exposure via auto launching enforced widespread adoption of consensus templates. Standardized structured reporting resulted in both economic gains and projected radiologist time saved.

Background: Objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) are a widely recognized and accepted method to assess clinical competencies but are often resource-intensive.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a virtual reality (VR)-based station (VRS) compared with a traditional physical station (PHS) in an already established curricular OSCE.
Methods: Fifth-year medical students participated in an OSCE consisting of 10 stations.

The process of regional economic development is marked by a sustained exposure to external disturbances. In today's unpredictable and tumultuous global environment, such disturbances have become increasingly common, underlining the need to advance a region's economic resilience and foster adaptive mechanisms to handle environmental flux. Comparing the typical provinces in eastern, central, western and northeastern regions during the COVID-19 epidemic period, it found that the economic resilience performance of Henan Province, which is a representative of the central region, has the following characteristics.

Significance: Optimal meibography utilization and interpretation are hindered due to poor lid presentation, blurry images, or image artifacts and the challenges of applying clinical grading scales. These results, using the largest image dataset analyzed to date, demonstrate development of algorithms that provide standardized, real-time inference that addresses all of these limitations.
Purpose: This study aimed to develop and validate an algorithmic pipeline to automate and standardize meibomian gland absence assessment and interpretation.

The Nursing and Midwifery Council's (SSSA), introduced in 2018, shifted from a mentorship model to a coaching model, creating new roles for practice supervisors, assessors, and academic assessors. This study explores the experiences of nursing students, practice assessors, and supervisors working with the SSSA. Using a qualitative approach, 14 semi-structured interviews were conducted with nursing students and staff.

Objectives: To explore the perspectives of stakeholders on the General Pharmaceutical Council's revised Standards for the Initial Education and Training of Pharmacists that enable pharmacists to prescribe at the point of registration, from 2026.
Methods: This qualitative study used the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) to develop schedules for structured interviews that were conducted with various stakeholders and recorded via Microsoft Teams. Recordings were transcribed verbatim, checked for accuracy, and then analysed using the Framework approach, facilitated by NVIVO® software.
