Anna Fraifeld, DNP, CRNA, is a certified registered nurse anesthetist from South Carolina. She has been in health care for nearly a decade after completing a Bachelor of Public Health from the University of North Florida, Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Johns Hopkins University, and Doctor of Nursing Practice from Duke University. Her previous areas of experience include intensive care unit care, code and rapid response teams, and emergent vascular access, and she has served on nursing shared governance committees to improve patient care.

Placement of peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) is a frequent occurrence. Yet, PIVCs consistently require multiple attempts for successful cannulation, leading to an increased use of resources and risk of complications. Even though hospitals have established vascular access teams to improve outcomes and increase longevity of PIVCs, not every facility has one, and some struggle to meet demand.

Methods: We conducted in-depth, structured interviews of 18 patients, primary care clinicians, and other select informants. They were asked to discuss optimal, acceptable, and suboptimal uses of telemedicine for delivering care relative to in-person care delivery.

J Am Board Fam Med
June 2022
From Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Department of Medicine, Baltimore, MD (JBS); Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Department of Health Policy and Management, Baltimore, MD (JBS, VD, SD).
Introduction: Telemedicine has been implemented in many health systems by necessity, yet evidence is sparse about its appropriate use for the delivery of primary care. We sought to understand what clinicians and patients consider to be appropriate use of telemedicine in primary care to inform future development of a framework that should be valuable to diverse stakeholders.
Methods: We conducted in-depth, structured interviews of patients, clinicians who deliver primary care, and other select informants.

August 2021
From Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (C.B., D.M.), Baltimore, MD; Division Cancer and Genetics (M.U.), Cardiff University; Genomic Medicine (D.G.E.), University of Manchester, UK; Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders (A.K.), Children's National Hospital, Washington, DC; and Faculty of Health, Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences (C.O.H.), Institute of Translational and Stratified Medicine, University of Plymouth, UK.
Objective: Because clinically validated biomarkers for neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) and neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) have not been identified, we aimed to determine whether genotype-phenotype correlations are useful in clinical trials in NF1 and NF2.
Methods: The Response Evaluation in Neurofibromatosis and Schwannomatosis (REiNS) Biomarker Group first performed a systematic literature search and reviewed existing data on genetic biomarkers in NF1 and NF2 and in in malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors. The group then met during a series of consensus meetings to develop a joint report.
