Laboratory tests play an integral role in the delivery of quality health care. However, evidence indicates variations in diagnostic testing, which can lead to patient safety risks. Electronic decision support systems are often identified as key to reducing diagnostic error. However, such tools are often introduced into a clinical setting with little understanding of clinician workflow and how tools are likely to impact this. This study reports a qualitative co-design methodology and results from the first phase in the design and development of an analytics-driven, dashboard approach to supporting clinician test ordering in the Emergency Department.

Introduction: While cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) remains a highly effective psychotherapy approach for managing Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), its potential is hindered by workforce shortages and access barriers. In response to these challenges, Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (iCBT) has emerged as an innovative solution that integrates the core CBT structure with technology. In iCBT, educational materials, therapist communication and progress dashboards can be centralized in a digital format, and delivered in a self-guided, therapist-guided or blended approach.

Background: The increase in severe acute respiratory coronavirus virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) cases due to the omicron strain led to reduced acute care hospital beds at the Veterans Administration (VA) Hospital, North Texas; veterans with non-severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease were managed at a community living center (CLC), a VA nursing home. The management of non-severe COVID-19 in VA nursing homes has not been extensively described.
Methods: We describe resident characteristics and outcomes, and infection control practices implemented during 2 COVID-19 outbreak periods (January 12-February 15, 2022, June 28-July 14, 2023).

Objectives: To predict the burden of HIV in the United States (US) nationally and by region, transmission type, and race/ethnicity through 2030.
Methods: Using publicly available data from the CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus dashboard, we generated 11-year prospective forecasts of incident HIV diagnoses nationally and by region (South, non-South), race/ethnicity (White, Hispanic/Latino, Black/African American), and transmission type (Injection-Drug Use, Male-to-Male Sexual Contact (MMSC), and Heterosexual Contact (HSC)). We employed weighted (W) and unweighted (UW) n-sub-epidemic ensemble models, calibrated using 12 years of historical data (2008-2019), and forecasted trends for 2020-2030.

Background And Aims: The escalating complexity of diseases and the burgeoning demand for proficient nurse anesthetists underscore the critical need for graduates optimally equipped to deliver competent care across varying patient conditions. Given the gap between the expected and actual clinical competencies among graduates, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of formative assessment coupled with immediate online feedback on the clinical competence of anesthesia nursing students in peri-anesthesia care.
Methods: This educational intervention was conducted with the participation of nurse anesthesia students who were enrolled into intervention and control groups.
