The study objective was to (1) develop a statistical model that creates a novel patient engagement score (PES) from electronic medical records (EMR) and health claim data, and (2) validate this developed score using health-related outcomes and charges of patients with multiple chronic conditions (MCCs). This study used 2014-16 EMR and health claim data of patients with MCCs from Sanford Health. Patient engagement score was created based on selected patients' engagement behaviors using Gaussian finite mixture model. The PES was validated using multiple logistic and linear regression analyses to examine the associations between the PES and health-related outcomes, and hospital charges, respectively. Patient engagement score was generated from 5095 patient records and included low, medium, and high levels of patient engagement. The PES was a significant predictor for low-density lipoprotein, emergency department visit, hemoglobin A, estimated glomerular filtration rate, hospitalization, and hospital charge. The PES derived from patient behaviors recorded in EMR and health claim data can potentially serve as a patient engagement measure. Further study is needed to refine and validate the newly developed score.

This methodological paper explores the intricacies of implementing evidence-based medicine in the health care sector specifically focusing on the clinical practice guideline (CPG) published by the American Physical Therapy Association's Academy of Oncologic Physical Therapy for diagnosing upper quadrant lymphedema secondary to cancer (diagnosis CPG). Although CPGs are widely available, their implementation into clinical practice remains inconsistent, slow, and complex. To address this challenge, this paper employs the Knowledge-to-Action framework, offering a detailed description of the seven stages through the lens of an in-progress case study on the implementation of the diagnosis CPG.

Background: Older adults and Hispanic individuals are increasingly turning to social media platforms to access health-related information. The purpose of this project was to evaluate a social media campaign to disseminate information from decision aids (DAs) on hip and knee osteoarthritis to Spanish-speaking adults.
Methods: A social media marketing team helped create an 8-mo campaign posted across 3 social media platforms to promote visits to a Web site offering free multilingual DAs for treatment of hip or knee osteoarthritis.

Aim Preventing leaving-without-being-seen (LWBS) in children is crucial due to their inability to seek medical care independently. Because there are no studies of LWBS in Japan, the extent of this problem in Japan and its impacts on healthcare are uncertain. The present study seeks to fill this gap by investigating LWBS after triage and identifying the associated factors.

Like many low- or middle-income countries (LMICs), Rwanda experiences delays related to lack of efficient prehospital communication and formal guidelines to triage patients for hospital care. This paper describes the protocol to develop, roll out, and evaluate the effectiveness of a Destination Decision Support Algorithm (DDSA) integrated in an electronic communication platform, '912Rwanda'.
