Aim: The purpose was to evaluate an innovative Prospective Hiring Equation to determine registered nurse hiring needs.
Background: The American Organization for Nursing Leadership identifies human resource management as a competency for nurse managers, yet calculations to determine when and how many registered nurses to hire are not readily available.
Methods: We implemented an educational intervention to teach nurse mangers the Prospective Hiring Equation. We evaluated the processes (adoption and confidence) and outcomes (vacancy rates) using a pre-evaluation/postevaluation design in a single cohort of nurse managers (n = 9). We used a statistical process control chart to depict mean differences in vacancy rate at baseline and 6-month postimplementation.
Results: Participants (n = 9) were on average 43 years' old, female, and had 2.94 (SD = 2.66) years' of nurse manager experience. Following implementation of the intervention, the combined vacancy rates of the intensive care units improved by 11.8% (SD = 7), and use of agency nurses decreased by 42.5% (premedian = 7.2, interquartile ratio = 3.6, 10.8; postmedian = 1.8, interquartile ratio 0.9, 8.55).
Conclusions: The Prospective Hiring Equation may be a useful tool to improve nurse managers human resource management competencies.
Implications For Nursing Management: The Prospective Hiring Equation may help nurse managers improve accuracy when evaluating hiring needs.

A Multi-Scale Computational Model of the Hepatic Circulation Applied to Predict the Portal Pressure After Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS).

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a widely used surgery for portal hypertension. In clinical practice, the diameter of the stent forming a shunt is usually selected empirically, which will influence the postoperative portal pressure. Clinical studies found that inappropriate portal pressure after TIPS is responsible for poor prognosis; however, there is no scheme to predict postoperative portal pressure.

Introduction: Screening diabetic retinopathy (DR) for timely management can reduce global blindness. Many existing DR screening programs worldwide are non-digital, standalone, and deployed with grading retinal photographs by trained personnel. To integrate the screening programs, with or without artificial intelligence (AI), into hospital information systems to improve their effectiveness, the non-digital workflow must be transformed into digital.

Article Synopsis
- Discrimination in the workplace significantly affects mental health, and this study focuses on the specific impact of workplace gender discrimination (WGD) on depressive symptoms in Korean female employees.
- The research involved over 3500 female employees and examined their experiences of WGD across various dimensions, finding that 15-20% reported such discrimination.
- Results indicated that experiencing WGD related to wages was associated with a higher likelihood of developing depressive symptoms, highlighting the need for policy interventions to address gender equality in the workplace.
The role of healthcare professionals' communication in trial participation decisions: a qualitative investigation of recruitment consultations and patient interviews across three RCTs.

Background: Although the challenges of recruiting to randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are well documented, few studies have focused on the impact that the communication between recruiters and patients has on patients' participation decisions. Recruiters are thought to influence patient decision-making, but the mechanisms by which this occurs are unclear. The aim of this research was to investigate how patients interpret and use the information conveyed to them by healthcare professionals (HCPs) in trial participation decisions.

Introduction: Quantitative Gait Analysis (QGA) is the gold-standard for detailed study of lower-limb movement, angles and forces, especially in pediatrics, providing a decision aid for treatment and for assessment of results. However, widespread use of QGA is hindered by the need for specific equipment and trained personnel and high costs. Recently, the OpenPose system used algorithms for 2D video movement analysis, to determine joint points and angles without any supplementary equipment or great expertise.
