Interprofessional education (IPE) has increasingly been delivered online using synchronous and asynchronous mediums; however, little research focuses on facilitation strategies in the synchronous environment. We explored whether the perceived strategies used by facilitators in online synchronous IPE facilitation are similar to those used in face-to-face and online asynchronous IPE facilitation, and if the strategies are used to a similar degree online in both synchronous and asynchronous environments. Following completion of an online IPE course, students and facilitators were invited to complete an anonymous questionnaire exploring their perceptions of the facilitation strategies used in their synchronous and asynchronous IPE experiences. Responses were received from 118 students and 21 facilitators. Descriptive statistics indicate that students and facilitators perceived facilitation strategies are being used in online synchronous settings that have previously been recognized in asynchronous and face-to-face IPE settings. This included strategies linked to communicating about the design/organization of the experience, providing direct instruction, facilitating and encouraging interprofessional interaction, and contextualizing IPE. Wilcoxon Signed-Rank tests demonstrated a perception that these strategies were being used to a greater extent in the synchronous than asynchronous environment. This knowledge is useful to further refine the training of online IPE facilitators in both synchronous and asynchronous settings.

Aim: To implement and evaluate an Advanced Practice Nurse-led transitional care model (AdvantAGE) to reduce rehospitalisation rates in frail older adults discharged from a Swiss geriatric hospital.

Design: The study adopts an effectiveness-implementation hybrid design (Type 1) to simultaneously evaluate the effectiveness of the care model and explore the implementation process.

Methods: The primary outcome, the 90-day rehospitalisation rate, will be evaluated using a matched-cohort design with a prospective intervention group and a retrospective control group.

Mortality data systems are upstream determinants of health, providing critical information on causes of death and population health trends and influencing health outcomes by shaping policies, research, and resource allocation. Moreover, the gender-related deaths of women and girls are significantly underrepresented or underrecognized in mortality data across many countries. This paper seeks to identify potential barriers and facilitators to improving the representation of femicide data.

Advancements in screening technologies employing small organisms have enabled deep profiling of compounds in vivo. However, current strategies for phenotyping of behaving animals, such as zebrafish, typically involve tedious manipulations. Here, we develop and validate a fully automated in vivo screening system (AISS) that integrates microfluidic technology and computer-vision-based control methods to enable rapid evaluation of biological responses of non-anesthetized zebrafish to molecular gradients.
