Compared with general commercial reverse logistics operators, the recovery and treatment of expired drugs and medical waste is a complex and highly technically difficult project. The qualifications required by the relevant service providers are also more stringent. For medical institutions, the selection of reverse logistics operators is always a critical issue. On the perspective of sustainability, this paper aims to investigate and explore the critical factors of selecting a medical reverse logistics service provider. Through the process of the Delphi method, the experts’ assessments were collected, and 24 factors affecting the selection of medical reverse logistics service provider were screened and summarized. Then, Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) was employed to calculate the total influence values and net influence values between factors that could be used to draw the visual causal map. Referring the causal map, “Green process operation level” and “Recycling process greening degree” are significantly higher than other factors in terms of total influence value and net influence value. Therefore, they can be regarded as crucial factors. This finding implies that medical reverse logistics providers must have the ability to improve the greening of facilities, as well as equipment, integrating existing processes to make it greener and environmentally friendly.

Abstract Background Antipsychotic medications are evidence-based treatments for schizophrenia that improve health outcomes and reduce costs. However, rates of non-adherence to oral antipsychotic medications can exceed 60%. We examined whether a simple checklist to identify individuals not receiving optimum benefit from current oral antipsychotic treatment (NOB Checklist) and The Multi-level Facilitation of Long-acting Antipsychotic Medication Program (MAP) could increase the appropriate use of long-acting injectable antipsychotic medication (LAI) in community clinics. Methods Two clinics in Texas and two in Ohio changed clinical procedures in one of two ways 1) NOB only clinics--providers used a five-item checklist to identify individuals with schizophrenia on oral antipsychotics who were Not receiving Optimum Benefit from current treatment and may therefore benefit from a switch to LAI. 2) MAP- providers used the NOB checklist AND received MAP; MAP is a novel behavior change intervention designed to improve the identification of individuals who could benefit from LAI, improve their outcomes and reduce inappropriate use of resources associated with poor adherence. MAP targets 3 stakeholder groups 1) the consumer for whom peer specialists showed a video describing shared decision making and how to make a choice between tablets and injections, and provided a balanced shared-decision making tool to assist them in choosing medication route,2) the provider who received academic detailing describing various LAI options, how to make good offers as part of a shared decision making dialogue, and important benefits of LAI including the ability to disentangle efficacy versus poor adherence and to help individuals with cognitive and practical problems that lead to poor adherence, and 3) the administrators who received information on how LAI could improve outcomes for individuals and clinic processes, how to encourage the use of LAI among providers and how to provide regular feedback to providers about prescribing practices. The primary outcome was the percentage of LAI versus oral antipsychotic medication prescribed to individuals with schizophrenia. Results Higher NOB checklist scores were associated with an increased provider likelihood of LAI offers and increased consumer acceptance of LAI. All clinics increased use of LAI over time. In Texas, where MAP was fully implemented, the MAP clinic had greater use of LAI over time (eventually reaching about 50% of all antipsychotic use) vs. the NOB only clinic. In Cleveland, the patient stakeholder curriculum was not delivered and there was no significant difference in LAI use between MAP and NOB clinics. Discussion The NOB checklist appears to be a useful tool to help identify patients who might be appropriate candidates for LAI and the full MAP program may help clinicians and consumers to work together to optimize the appropriate use of LAI in outpatient settings. Implementation must be customized for clinics and workflows to determine which parts of the MAP program are practical and appropriate. Participation of consumer stakeholders may be essential to delivery of the MAP Program.

Organizations make use of project management methodologies, which provide an effective manner to achieve managerial goals, maintain the strength of the companies in increasing competition. Efficiency in planning, budgeting, and scheduling are provided so that high quality outputs are obtained through these processes. Agile project management methodology, which has been emerged from unpredictability of customer requirements and changeable business environment, is apt to cope with the failures of traditional project management tools. Besides, lean six-sigma project management methodology has become a combination of lean and six-sigma, which were opponent methodologies previously. This paper aims to determine the most suitable outsourcing provider alternative by presenting a novel cognitive maps-based intuitionistic fuzzy decision making procedure. Interrelationships among evaluation criteria are weighted employing intuitionistic fuzzy cognitive map technique because of the causal links among evaluation criteria, vagueness, fuzziness, and hesitation in data. Moreover, the most appropriate provider alternative for both agile and lean six-sigma project management methodologies is identified by utilizing intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS method, which aims for minimizing the closeness to the ideal solution while maximizing the distance from the anti-ideal solution in hesitative environment. The case study is carried out in a bank that performs in Turkish banking sector.

Coastal ecosystems provide various ecosystem services in the form of natural resources, life support services, aesthetical values and comfort.The key ecosystems providing those services include estuaries, mangroves, coral reefs and seagrass beds.Some ecosystem services provided by the key coastal ecosystems function as producers, life supporters, wave absorbers, litter provider for detritus and decomposers, and carbon cycles regulator in the ecosystem. Though their roles are vital for Jakarta bay and its surrounding areas, ecosystem service aspect in Jakarta Bay is understudied. The previous limited studies focused mostly on economics valuation aspect and descriptive studies, ignoring the modeling and mapping aspects of the ecosystem services. InVEST (Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs) is a tool to map and model ecosystem services in an explicitly spatial representation.InVEST can be used to map and model changes in ecosystem servicess that will be affected by multi-scalechanges in the Jakarta Bay, particularlyland reclamation and what's so called as the Giant Sea Wall.The output generated through the spatial and temporal mapmodeling in inVESTcan account for ecosystem services in past, presentand future scenarios. In the context of various coastal development in Jakarta bay, the results of InVEST can be then be used asvaluableinput tocoastal management of Jakarta Bay, e.g. for mangrove management as a blue carbon ecosystem service provider.

IntroductionNudges, or low-effort interventions aimed at influencing behaviour, can improve provider medical decision-making through promoting adherence to practice guidelines. Strengthening provider–patient humanistic connection through nudges may increase provider satisfaction, mitigate burnout and improve patient satisfaction and outcomes. This scoping review aims to map the literature investigating provider-directed, low-effort interventions aimed at enhancing the provider–patient connection.Methods and analysisThe authors conducted a preliminary search to identify terms that will be used in the final search strategy. The search follows Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines and will be used to query Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO and Cochrane databases. Two authors will work independently to screen abstracts and full text. We will summarise the findings using descriptive statistics and narrative synthesis and will use SEIPS 2.0 as the anchoring framework.Ethics and disseminationAs a secondary analysis of published data, this study does not require ethics approval. The results will be submitted to relevant academic peer-reviewed journals and conferences. We anticipate that the interventions surveyed in this scoping review will have the potential to be incorporated into clinical practice at an individual and systemic level with the goal of enhancing providers’ sense of meaning connected to their work, mitigating burnout and improving the patient experience.

Background Language-concordant health care, or health care in a patient’s language of choice, is an important element of health accessibility that improves patient safety and comfort and facilitates an increased quality of care. However, prior research has found that linguistic minorities often face higher travel burdens to access language-concordant care compared to the general population. Objective This study intended to assess patient experiences and satisfaction with an online interactive physician map that allows patients to find family physicians who speak their preferred language in and around Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, as a means of identifying areas of improvement. Methods This study used an online survey with questions related to user satisfaction. Responses to Likert-scale questions were compiled as summary statistics and short-answer responses underwent thematic analysis. The study setting was Ottawa and Renfrew County, Ontario, and the surrounding region, including the province of Quebec. Results A total of 93 respondents completed the survey and self-identified as living in Ontario or Quebec. Overall, 57 (61%) respondents were “very satisfied” or “somewhat satisfied” with the map, 16 (17%) were “neither satisfied nor dissatisfied,” and 20 (22%) were “very dissatisfied” or “somewhat dissatisfied.” We found no significant differences in satisfaction by preferred language, age group, physician attachment, or intended beneficiary. A total of 56 respondents provided short-answer responses to an open-ended question about map improvements. The most common specific suggestion was to show which physicians are accepting new patients (n=20). Other suggestions included data refreshes (n=6), user interface adjustments (n=23), and additional languages (n=2). Some participants also provided positive feedback (n=5) or expressed concern with their inability to find a family physician (n=5). Several comments included multiple suggestions. Conclusions While most patients were satisfied with the online map, a significant minority expressed dissatisfaction that the map did not show which family physicians were accepting new patients. This suggests that there may be public interest in an accessible database of which family physicians in Ontario are currently accepting new patients.

Purpose: To describe a unique pharmacy intern program in a group of federally qualified health center (FQHC) outpatient primary care provider clinics. Summary: A pharmacy intern program was created at the North Central Nursing Clinics in Indiana, a group of four FQHC outpatient primary care provider facilities. Intern-performed tasks included: Prior authorization (PA) requests, medication assistance program (MAP) applications, sample procurement and inventory, and contraceptive devices for implantation inventory management. Interns interacted with clinic administration, nurse practitioners, and medical staff to complete their assigned responsibilities. Over a one-year period, the interns completed documentation on more than 2000 charts during a combined 12 h a week. Interns identified the interprofessional interactions as the most beneficial experience, while providers acknowledged no difference in the processing of paperwork during the transition of duties from pharmacy fellow to intern. Conclusion: This unique pharmacy intern program was successfully created and implemented in a primary care provider office, resulting in learning opportunities for pharmacy interns, as well as operational efficiencies to fellows, providers, and the organization.

Abstract Open-source data is open for anyone and everyone for access, modification, reuse, and sharing for particular application. Open-source data is compiled from various sources using public user collaboration. Open street map is one of open-source vector provider. The suitability study of the use of open-source data for the production of topographic maps of various scales is important as a new approach. The importance of the feasibility study of the use of open-source data can help improve the efficiency of the production of mapping products. Many methods of producing topographic maps of various scales use various state -of -the -art technologies for fast and efficient map production. The objective of the study is to check the planimetric accuracy and feature geometry of open-source vector datasets. Conventional methodologies for the production of multi -scale topographic maps are time consuming and involve high costs. Therefore, open-source data is an alternative source for the production of topographic maps of various scales. This data source shows the potential use for generation of multiple data layers such as roads, points, places, waterways, railways, natural, buildings and land use. The planimetric accuracy of open-source vector data is ranging from 2-5 m. The overlay analysis between reference dataset and open-source data show the similarity geometry for 1:50,000 map scale. This method shows a high level of suitability for the efficient updating of topographic data and the production of topographic maps for 1:50,000 map scale.

While CPA (Certified Public Accountant) firms utilize cloud auditing technologies to generate auditing reports and convey information to their clients in the Internet of Things (IoT) Era, they often cannot determine whether cloud auditing is a secure and effective form of communication with clients. Strategies related to cloud auditing provider evaluation and improvement planning are inherently multiple attribute decision making (MADM) issues and are very important to the auditor industry. To overcome these problems, this paper proposes an evaluation and improvement planning model to be a reference for CPA firms selecting the best cloud auditing provider, and illustrates an application of such a model through an empirical case study. The DEMATEL (decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory) approach is first used to analyze the interactive influence relationship map (IIRM) between the criteria and dimensions of cloud auditing technology. DANP (DEMATEL-based ANP) is then employed to calculate the influential weights of the dimensions and criteria. Finally, the modified VIKOR method is utilized to provide improvement priorities for performance cloud auditing provider satisfaction. Based on expert interviews, the recommendations for improvement priorities are privacy, security, processing integrity, availability, and confidentiality. This approach is expected to support the auditor industry to systematically improve their cloud auditing provider selection.

Abstract Some of the socio-economic benefits provided by the watershed are providing timber and non-timber forest products for the society, as a provider of water needs, as a provider of agricultural land, and others. However, due to intensive management and not implementing the principle of sustainability. Currently, the Merawu watershed is experiencing damage in terms of the criticality of the land. This research is categorized as renewable research related to the determination of critical land. Because, this study used data based on land problems. After combining the map of land susceptibility and map of critical land, an indicative map of critical land is obtained which shows the location with criticality factors. The Critical Land Indicative (CLI) location is indicated by its factors, namely the CLI for the erosion factor has an area of 734,56 ha, the CLI for the critical land factor has an area of 32,73 ha, the CLI for the slope factor has an area of 5.333,64 ha, the CLI for the critical land and erosion factors has an area of 2.247,78 ha, CLI of slope and erosion factors has an area of 4.114,30 ha, CLI of slope and critical land factors has an area of 18,17 ha, CLI of slope and shallow soil factors has an area of 175,87 ha, CLI of slope, critical land, and erosion factors has an area of 9.277,03 ha, CLI for slope, shallow soil, and erosion factors has an area of 558,84 ha, CLI for slope, shallow soil, and critical land factor has an area of 12,76 ha, and CLI for slope, shallow soil, critical land, and erosion factor has an area of 61,35 ha. The existence of an indicative map of this critical land can be used as a basis for consideration in planning forest and land rehabilitation activities.

Full textAbstract:
9 Background: For commercial insurance plans, there is often a requirement to obtain prior-authorization for specific services. Prior-authorization though intended to ensure medical necessity, can cause significant delays in patient care and create an unnecessary administrative burden. It often leads to undue anxiety in patients, dissatisfaction among providers and substantial waste in the system. To increase our efficiency and improve patient and provider experience, we partnered with one of our region’s largest commercial payors to eliminate prior-authorization. Methods: A Lean Six-sigma DMAIC approach was adopted: Define- created a process map. Measure- calculated baseline for prior-authorization denials. Analyze- conducted retrospective analysis to identify areas to improve. Improve- conducted provider training for appropriate imaging guidelines. Control- established internal auditing to check provider compliance. Results: At SCCA, we found that 94.8% of prior-authorizations were approved instantly or after providing more documentation, thus prior-authorization did not add value. Moreover, 2.15% were approved after peer-to-peer review that involves significant administrative burden and delay in care. Only 3% prior-authorizations did not meet medical necessity criteria, major reasons being- PET/CT and CT CAP ordered in combination, or PET/CT ordered without clear justification. 2.46% prior-authorizations led to a patient receiving a letter of denial. SCCA and the payor agreed to eliminate prior-authorizations for all imaging (except PET and PET/CT). This required all ordering providers to attest to completion of training on the NCCN Imaging Appropriate Use Criteria. In addition, a quarterly internal audit was put in place to check provider compliance to NCCN guidelines for ordering Imaging tests. SCCA achieved a 100% provider training completion rate and 100% provider compliance to NCCN guidelines in the first two internal audits. Conclusions: A strong partnership and shared vision with a payor enabled us to eliminate wasteful prior-authorizations.

One anesthesia provider is often responsible for prescribing, formulating, dispensing, administering, and documenting medications in the operating room. Unlike other hospital units, there are few safety interventions. Systems engineering approaches can provide important insights into improving patient safety during medication delivery processes (Kaplan et al., 2013; Reid et al., 2005). This study observed anesthesia medication delivery during 20 anesthetic cases in the OR and interviewed 10 anesthesia providers in a large midatlantic academic hospital using a Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS) framework to identify process risk in perioperative medication delivery (Holden et al., 2013). Anesthesia attendings, fellows, residents, and certified resident nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) were sampled based on who was in the OR during observations and who volunteered for interviews. Interviews were transcribed and coded through a consensus procedure. The medication delivery process was described using a SEIPS-based process map. Tasks were separated based on the anesthesia phase, though the tasks and phases are not linear; e.g: a provider may prepare for the next case during the maintenance phase.

Full textAbstract:
Background Oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is highly effective, but alternative delivery options are needed to reach more users. Microarray patches (MAPs), a novel drug-delivery system containing micron-scale projections or “microneedles” that deliver drugs via skin, are being developed to deliver long-acting HIV PrEP and as a multipurpose prevention technology to protect from HIV and unintended pregnancy. We explored whether MAP technology could meet user and health system needs in two African countries. Methods Researchers in South Africa and Uganda conducted 27 focus group discussions, 76 mock-use exercises, and 31 key informant interviews to explore perceptions about MAPs and specific features such as MAP size, duration of protection, delivery indicator, and health system fit. Participants included young women and men from key populations and vulnerable groups at high risk of HIV and/or unintended pregnancy, including adolescent girls and young women; female sex workers and men who have sex with these women; and men who have sex with men. In Uganda, researchers also recruited young women and men from universities and the community as vulnerable groups. Key stakeholders included health care providers, sexual and reproductive health experts, policymakers, and youth activists. Qualitative data were transcribed, translated, coded, and analyzed to explore perspectives and preferences about MAPs. Survey responses after mock-use in Uganda were tabulated to assess satisfaction with MAP features and highlight areas for additional refinement. Results All groups expressed interest in MAP technology, reporting perceived advantages over other methods. Most participants preferred the smallest MAP size for ease of use and discreetness. Some would accept a larger MAP if it provided longer protection. Most preferred a protection duration of 1 to 3 months or longer; others preferred 1-week protection. Upper arm and thigh were the most preferred application sites. Up to 30 minutes of wear time was considered acceptable; some wanted longer to ensure the drug was fully delivered. Self-administration was valued by all groups; most preferred initial training by a provider. Conclusions Potential users and stakeholders showed strong interest in/acceptance of MAP technology, and their feedback identified key improvements for MAP design. If a MAP containing a high-potency antiretroviral or a MAP containing both an antiretroviral and hormonal contraceptive is developed, these products could improve acceptability/uptake of protection options in sub-Saharan Africa.

Social support is a construct with multiple dimensions that can be approached at multiple levels. Findings from a variety of disciplines and recognition of its bidirectional nature can help map the construct. Bidirectionality is a process that requires attention to moderators, such as, gender, cultural change, and personal development, together with the relationship between the receiver and the provider of support. Both close personal ties and weaker ones that often are part of community involvement need to be taken into account in order to map the construct comprehensively.

Autism spectrum disorder and co-occurring symptoms often require lifelong services. However, access to autism spectrum disorder services is hindered by a lack of available autism spectrum disorder providers. We utilized geographic information systems methods to map autism spectrum disorder provider locations in Michigan. We hypothesized that (1) fewer providers would be located in less versus more populated areas; (2) neighborhoods with low versus high socioeconomic status would have fewer autism spectrum disorder providers; and (3) an interaction would be found between population and socioeconomic status such that neighborhoods with low socioeconomic status and high population would have few available autism spectrum disorder providers. We compiled a list of autism spectrum disorder providers in Michigan, geocoded the location of providers, and used network analysis to assess autism spectrum disorder service availability in relation to population distribution, socioeconomic disadvantage, urbanicity, and immobility. Hypotheses were supported. Individuals in rural neighborhoods had fewer available autism spectrum disorder providers than individuals in suburban and urban neighborhoods. In addition, neighborhoods with greater socioeconomic status disadvantage had fewer autism spectrum disorder providers available. Finally, statistically significant spatial disparities were found; wealthier suburbs had good provider availability while few providers were available in poorer, urban neighborhoods. Knowing autism spectrum disorder providers’ availability, and neighborhoods that are service deserts, presents the opportunity to utilize evidence-based dissemination and implementation strategies that promote increased autism spectrum disorder providers for underserved individuals.

Full textAbstract:
Maternal nutrition is essential for the development and lifelong health of the offspring. Antenatal care provides unique opportunities for nutrition communication, and health promotion tools (e.g., guidelines, instruments, packages, or resources) might help to overcome several concurrent barriers. We conducted a systematic literature review to map tools that are available for the promotion of a healthy dietary intake in healthy pregnant women in Western countries, and to identify what makes these tools feasible and effective for these women and their healthcare providers. Seventeen studies were included, evaluating tools with various delivery modes, content, and providers. Nine studies employed multiple, complementary delivery methods and almost all studies (n = 14) tailored the content to varying degrees, based on the individual characteristics and lifestyle behaviors of the participants. We found that the feasibility of a tool was dependent on practical issues, time investment, and providers’ motivation, skills, and knowledge, while the effectiveness was related more to the type of provider and the content. Most effective interventions were provided by dietitians and nutritionists, and were highly tailored. Based on the results of this review, we believe that custom tools that are sensitive to inequalities are needed to support all women in obtaining or maintaining a healthy diet during pregnancy.

IntroductionGovernance is one of the most important aspects for strong primary healthcare (PHC) service delivery. To achieve the targets for the Sustainable Development Goals, good governance may play a prime role in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). This evidence gap map (EGM) explored the available evidence in LMICs to identify the knowledge gap concerning PHC policy and governance in these settings.MethodsWe followed the standard 3ie EGM protocol, finalising the scope of the EGM through a stakeholder workshop. We searched a total of 32 bibliographic databases, systematic review databases, impact evaluation databases, and donor and bilateral agency databases using a comprehensive search strategy. Two reviewers screened retrieved studies, extracted data and performed quality assessment. We plotted the interventions and outcomes derived from the included studies in a dynamic platform to build the interactive EGM and conducted a stakeholder consultation with nominal group technique methods to prioritise the identified gaps.ResultsThe EGM included 24 systematic reviews and 7 impact evaluations focusing on PHC policy and governance in LMICs. Most of the sources emphasised workforce management and supervision. There were noticeable evidence gaps regarding accountability and social responsibility. The most highly prioritised themes were the role of accountability, the role of public–private partnerships and the role of user–provider communication in PHC governance.ConclusionsThis EGM identified some important aspects of PHC policy and governance such as accountability, social responsibility, public–private partnership, user–provider communication through the methodological approaches of evidence synthesis and stakeholder consultation. Identified gaps will provide directions for an implementation research plan to improve the governance of PHC in LMICs.

Full textAbstract:
Accurate and up-to-date digital road maps are the foundation of many mobile applications, such as navigation and autonomous driving. A manually-created map suffers from the high cost for creation and maintenance due to constant road network updating. Recently, the ubiquity of GPS devices in vehicular systems has led to an unprecedented amount of vehicle sensing data for map inference. Unfortunately, accurate map inference based on vehicle GPS is challenging for two reasons. First, it is challenging to infer complete road structures due to the sensing deviation, sparse coverage, and low sampling rate of GPS of a fleet of vehicles with similar mobility patterns, e.g., taxis. Second, a road map requires various road properties such as road categories, which is challenging to be inferred by just GPS locations of vehicles. In this paper, we design a map inference system called coMap by considering multiple fleets of vehicles with Complementary Mobility Features. coMap has two key components: a graph-based map sketching component, a learning-based map painting component. We implement coMap with the data from four type-aware vehicular sensing systems in one city, which consists of 18 thousand taxis, 10 thousand private vehicles, 6 thousand trucks, and 14 thousand buses. We conduct a comprehensive evaluation of coMap with two state-of-the-art baselines along with ground truth based on OpenStreetMap and a commercial map provider, i.e., Baidu Maps. The results show that (i) for the map sketching, our work improves the performance by 15.9%; (ii) for the map painting, our work achieves 74.58% of average accuracy on road category classification.

Full textAbstract:
Background Individuals who experience a hip fracture have numerous care transitions. Improving the transition process is important for ensuring quality care; however, little is known about the priorities of different key interest groups. Our aim was to gather recommendations from these groups regarding care transitions for hip fracture. Methods We conducted a concept mapping study, inviting persons with lived experience (PWLE) who had a hip fracture, care partners, healthcare providers, and decision-makers to share their thoughts about ‘what is needed to improve care transitions for hip fracture’. Individuals were subsequently asked to sort the generated statements into conceptual piles, and then rate by importance and priority using a five-point scale. Participants decided on the final map, rearranged statements, and assigned a name to each conceptual cluster. Results A total of 35 participants took part in this concept mapping study, with some individuals participating in multiple steps. Participants included 22 healthcare providers, 7 care partners, 4 decision-makers, and 2 PWLE. The final map selected by participants was an 8-cluster map, with the following cluster labels: (1) access to inpatient services and supports across the care continuum (13 statements); (2) informed and collaborative discharge planning (13 statements); (3) access to transitional and outpatient services (3 statements); (4) communication, education and knowledge acquisition (9 statements); (5) support for care partners (2 statements); (6) person-centred care (13 statements); (7) physical, social, and cognitive activities and supports (13 statements); and (8) provider knowledge, skills, roles and behaviours (8 statements). Conclusions Our study findings highlight the importance of person-centred care, with active involvement of PWLE and their care partners throughout the care journey. Many participant statements included specific ideas related to continuity of care, and clinical knowledge and skills. This study provides insights for future interventions and quality improvement initiatives for enhancing transitions in care among hip fracture populations.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Health system fragmentation contributes to poor health and social outcomes for older adults with multimorbidity and their care partners. Integrated team-based models of care are recommended to improve health service delivery to older adults with complex needs. Standardized assessment instruments deployed on digital platforms are considered a necessary component of integrated care, as they can facilitate information sharing and development of a shared care plan. Previous research in community services and geriatric medicine settings found that using standardized self-report instruments is feasible and has the potential to support system integration, however suboptimal collaboration between sectors persists, highlighting the need for intentional planning around instrument use. The aim of this study was to develop implementation strategies for a digital wellness instrument, the interRAI Check Up Self Report, to support integrated health and social care for older adults and their care partners in a community in Ontario, Canada. Methods: A steering committee of older adults, co-investigators, and primary care, home care, and community service providers provided study oversight. Group concept mapping, a participatory mixed-methods approach, was conducted. Participants included older adults, care partners, and representatives from: home care, community services, specialized geriatric services, primary care, and health informatics. In a series of virtual meetings, participants generated ideas to support the use of the interRAI Check Up as part of a care approach with older adults and rated the relative importance of these ideas. Hierarchical cluster analysis was used to map the ideas into clusters of similar statements. Participants reviewed and interpreted the map to co-create an action plan. Results: Forty-one participants contributed to creation of a cluster map of ten action areas: engagement of older adults and care partners, instrument’s ease of use, accessibility of the assessment process, person-centred process, how to use the Check Up, training and education for providers, provider coordination, health information integration, health system decision support and quality improvement, and privacy and confidentiality. Health system decision support was rated as the lowest relative importance and health information integration was rated as the highest relative importance. The action plan included implementation strategies for the optimal use of the Check Up, for example, developing workflow plans for using the Check Up in care processes, including providers’ roles and responsibilities. Strategies were also developed to foster health and social care provider coordination, such as providing education on how to work as a team on a shared care plan, informed by a standardized self-report instrument. Conclusion: The introduction of digital instruments requires preparation, intervention, and evaluation at person, provider, and system levels. An instrument’s thoughtful selection is as important as developing an implementation plan that supports development of necessary processes and skills for older adults and care providers to adopt the tool into routine practice and evaluate the impact. Next steps: As communities implement digital instruments, such as the interRAI Check Up, this co-designed plan of ten action areas can be used to inform implementation planning and evaluation of practical strategies to support community, team-based integrated care.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Parks and other public green spaces (hereafter “urban green spaces”) provide many benefits to urban dwellers, but some residents receive few benefits due to a lack of urban green spaces nearby their home/workplace. Understanding spatial variations in urban green space accessibility is thus important for urban planning. As a case study, here we mapped urban green space accessibility in Japan’s highly urbanized Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefectures using a Gravity Model (GM). As the inputs for the GM, we used georeferenced datasets of urban green spaces obtained from various sources, including national government (Ministry of Land, Transportation, Infrastructure, and Tourism; MLIT), a commercial map provider (ESRI Japan Corporation), and a crowdsourcing initiative (OpenStreetMap). These datasets all varied in terms of their spatial and thematic coverage, as could be seen in the urban green space accessibility maps generated using each individual dataset alone. To overcome the limitations of each individual dataset, we developed an integrated urban green space accessibility map using a maximum value operator. The proposed map integration approach is simple and can be applied for mapping spatial accessibility to other goods and services using heterogeneous geographic datasets.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Introduction One of the current challenges in long-term care homes (LTCH) is to identify the optimal model of care, which may include specialty physicians, nursing staff, person support workers, among others. There is currently no consensus on the complement or scope of care delivered by these providers, nor is there a repository of studies that evaluate the various models of care. We conducted a rapid scoping review to identify and map what care provider models and interventions in LTCH have been evaluated to improve quality of life, quality of care, and health outcomes of residents. Methods We conducted this review over 10-weeks of English language, peer-reviewed studies published from 2010 onward. Search strategies for databases (e.g., MEDLINE) were run on July 9, 2020. Studies that evaluated models of provider care (e.g., direct patient care), or interventions delivered to facility, staff, and residents of LTCH were included. Study selection was performed independently, in duplicate. Mapping was performed by two reviewers, and data were extracted by one reviewer, with partial verification by a second reviewer. Results A total of 7,574 citations were screened based on the title/abstract, 836 were reviewed at full text, and 366 studies were included. Studies were classified according to two main categories: healthcare service delivery (n = 92) and implementation strategies (n = 274). The condition/ focus of the intervention was used to further classify the interventions into subcategories. The complex nature of the interventions may have led to a study being classified in more than one category/subcategory. Conclusion Many healthcare service interventions have been evaluated in the literature in the last decade. Well represented interventions (e.g., dementia care, exercise/mobility, optimal/appropriate medication) may present opportunities for future systematic reviews. Areas with less research (e.g., hearing care, vision care, foot care) have the potential to have an impact on balance, falls, subsequent acute care hospitalization.

This research addresses current gaps in knowledge about local news provision: it considers the method for best understanding the robustness of a local news ecosystem, and it identifies the structural features of a community that are correlated with its level of local news provision. Most local news assessments to date have used the geographic location of the news provider as a proxy for coverage; here, I use (self-reported) coverage area as the marker of local news provision, allowing a more accurate representation of the communities being served. I find that median household income, population density, and the percentage of the population that is Hispanic are positively correlated with the number of outlets that cover a municipality, and are therefore significant indicators of local news provision. I further identify certain local news providers as “local news originators,” and map the number of LNOs for the 565 municipalities that make up the state of New Jersey, making this the first study to map local news provision at this level of detail for an entire state.

Bandung District is one of crop provider for West Java Province. About 31.158,22 ha is used for crop. However, some of them are not maintained well due to lack of vegetation map information. Local authority has tried to map the vegetation in their area by using free license satellite images, and aerial images from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Despite both images being able to provide large plantation area images, both are unable to classify the vegetation type in those images. Telkom University with Bandung Agriculture Regional Office (Dinas Pertanian Kabupaten Bandung) has conducted joint research to develop algorithm based on 50-layer residual neural network (ResNet50) to classify the vegetation type. The input is of this algorithm is primarily aerial images are captured from different type, height, and position of crops. Seven different ResNet50 configurations have been set and simulated to classify the crop images. The result is the configuration with resized images, employing triangular policy of cyclic learning rate with rate 1.10−7 – 1.10−4 comes out as the best setup with more than 95% accuracy and relatively low loss.

Islamic boarding schools play a role in developing the independent character of students, however, in addition to the large role of boarding schools, there are still many obstacles, namely the difficulty of obtaining accurate information about the existence of boarding schools. Currently, to obtain information about Islamic boarding schools in Pandeglang Regency, they still use conventional methods, like coming directly to the location of the boarding school. There are even some boarding schools whose information cannot be found, so we need a solution to solve these problems by utilizing information technology and computers. Researchers offer a solution to overcome this problem by utilizing information system technology, namely Geographic Information Systems by utilizing Google Maps as a map provider and Dijkstra's Algorithm as a method to find the shortest path from one point to another on a graph. This research produces a digital map application on the web by utilizing the Google Maps API and Web Service using the Apache Web Server to retrieve data from the MySQL database.The goal to be achieved in this research is to build a Geographic Information System (GIS) for boarding schools that can be used to provide information about the map of the location of boarding schools in the Pandeglang Regency area along with other supporting information in the boarding schools.

Background Black cisgender women (hereafter referred to as “women”) experience one of the highest incidences of HIV among all populations in the United States. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an effective biomedical HIV prevention option, but uptake among women is low. Despite tailored strategies for certain populations, including men who have sex with men and transgender women, Black women are frequently overlooked in HIV prevention efforts. Strategies to increase PrEP awareness and use among Black women are needed at multiple levels (ie, community, system or clinic, provider, and individual or patient). Objective This study aimed to identify barriers and facilitators to PrEP uptake and persistence among Black cisgender women and to map implementation strategies to identified barriers using the CFIR (Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research)-ERIC (Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change) Implementation Strategy Matching Tool. Methods We conducted a secondary analysis of previous qualitative studies completed by a multidisciplinary team of HIV physicians, implementation scientists, and epidemiologists. Studies involved focus groups and interviews with medical providers and women at a federally qualified health center in Chicago, Illinois. Implementation science frameworks such as the CFIR were used to investigate determinants of PrEP use among Black women. In this secondary analysis, data from 45 total transcripts were analyzed. We identified barriers and facilitators to PrEP uptake and persistence among cisgender women across each CFIR domain. The CFIR-ERIC Implementation Strategy Matching Tool was used to map appropriate implementation strategies to address barriers and increase PrEP uptake among Black women. Results Barriers to PrEP uptake were identified across the CFIR domains. Barriers included being unaware that PrEP was available (characteristics of individuals), worrying about side effects and impacts on fertility and pregnancy (intervention characteristics), and being unsure about how to pay for PrEP (outer setting). Providers identified lack of training (characteristics of individuals), need for additional clinical support for PrEP protocols (inner setting), and need for practicing discussions about PrEP with women (intervention characteristics). ERIC mapping resulted in 5 distinct implementation strategies to address barriers and improve PrEP uptake: patient education, provider training, PrEP navigation, clinical champions, and electronic medical record optimization. Conclusions Evidence-based implementation strategies that address individual, provider, and clinic factors are needed to engage women in the PrEP care continuum. Tailoring implementation strategies to address identified barriers increases the probability of successfully improving PrEP uptake. Our results provide an overview of a comprehensive, multilevel implementation strategy (ie, “POWER Up”) to improve PrEP uptake among women.

Abstract: Web Services are materialized as a major technology carried out for automated interaction between distributed and miscellaneous applications. It is defined as a software service that provides business solutions consumed by different service requester. It can be accessed by a standard web protocol. Service composition is the mechanism used for selecting, reusing and combining existing web services to build new web services. With immense increase in web services, quality assessment plays an essential role in the selection approach. QoS is defined as the ability to guarantee the requirements like latency, reliability, bandwidth, etc. in order to satisfy a service level agreement between an application provider and end-user. QoS based dynamic service composition leads to the upward growth of an organization that implements multiple services to provide its business solution. The proposed research work elaborates the research work on different methodologies of QoS prediction with its implications to provide a proper road map for future research on efficient service composition. Keywords: SOA, service reuse, scalable, web services, QoS.

"Map your Burden of Treatment (MyBoT): an arts-based digital communication aid for young people with a chronic condition and their care providers." International Journal of Integrated Care 23, S1 (2023): 104. http://dx.doi.org/10.5334/ijic.icic23039.
Full textAbstract:
Background: Young people with a chronic somatic condition receive treatment to reduce symptoms, but treatment can pose a heavy burden and affect their quality of life. Despite this, they rarely discuss this so-called treatment burden with care providers. Discussing treatment burden can help to identify treatment barriers and personalize care. We developed the digital tool MyBoT to improve communication about treatment burden.
 Methods: MyBoT was developed for young people (aged 16-25) who undergo treatment for a chronic condition and their care providers. It was designed and developed by a team of academic researchers, care providers, young people with a chronic condition and a design studio. Additionally, other young people and care providers were invited to advise during the project. The development took place in four stages. The first consisted of a literature study, a design session with young people with a chronic condition and an interview with a care provider. Based on this, the team designed a paper prototype – an initial design of the tool on paper. In the second stage, this prototype was digitalized. This was an iterative process in which team members provided feedback on several versions. During the third stage, a demo version of the tool was applied in six workshops with young people with a chronic condition. Based on their experiences the tool was finalized. In the fourth stage, a dialogue session with young people with a chronic condition and care providers was organized to discuss implementation.
 Results: In MyBoT, young people portray their treatment burden by making a 'body map'. This is an image of a body, in which users indicate the impact of treatment on their lives and wellbeing with photos, icons and text. A chatbot asks questions about how they are doing, what they like to do and the impact of treatment on this. Users can print their body map and discuss it with their care provider. Users reported positive experiences with MyBoT. They considered it a useful visual aid to discuss treatment-related topics that are difficult to express in words, such as future planning and non-adherence. Users noted that the tool helps to take control and introduce topics that matter to them during consultations with care providers, because it results in a tangible product (a body map) they can show. They appreciated that the chatbot in the tool treated them as a person rather than a patient, because it covered topics like hobbies, friends and dreams.
 Conclusion: Digital body mapping exercises can be a valuable aid in discussing treatment burden. It helps young people with a chronic condition to tell their stories, as they can visualize and show their experiences before they discuss them. This is especially helpful in discussing sensitive topics.
 Next steps: MyBoT is being used in a rehabilitation center and other options for implementation are currently explored. Because of the positive experiences, we are now also developing an arts-based digital communication aid for young people with a mental chronic condition.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Medication errors are a leading safety concern, especially for families with limited English proficiency and health literacy, and patients discharged on multiple medications with complex schedules. Integration of a multilanguage electronic discharge medication platform may help decrease medication errors. This quality improvement (QI) project’s primary aim (process measure) was to increase utilization in the electronic health record (EHR) of the integrated MedActionPlanPro (MAP) for cardiovascular surgery and blood and marrow transplant patients at hospital discharge and for the first clinic follow-up visit to 80% by July 2021. Methods: This QI project occurred between August 2020 and July 2021 on 2 subspecialty pediatric acute care inpatient units and respective outpatient clinics. An interdisciplinary team developed and implemented interventions, including integration of MAP within EHR; the team tracked and analyzed outcomes for discharge medication matching, and efficacy and safety MAP integration occurred with a go-live date of February 1, 2021. Statistical process control charts tracked progress. Results: Following the implementation of the QI interventions, there was an increase from 0% to 73% in the utilization of the integrated MAP in the EHR across the acute care cardiology unit-cardiovascular surgery/blood and marrow transplant units. The average user hours per patient (outcome measure) decreased 70% from the centerline of 0.89 hours during the baseline period to 0.27 hours. In addition, the medication matching between Cerner inpatient and MAP inpatient increased significantly from baseline to postintervention by 25.6% (P < 0.001). Conclusion: MAP integration into the EHR was associated with improved inpatient discharge medication reconciliation safety and provider efficiency.

ObjectivesThe current research project sought to map out the regulatory landscape for patient safety in the English National Health Service (NHS).MethodWe used a systematic desk-based search using a variety of sources to identify the total number of organisations with regulatory influence in the NHS; we researched publicly available documents listing external inspection agencies, participated in advisory consultations with NHS regulatory compliance teams and reviewed the websites of all regulatory agencies.ResultsOur mapping revealed over 126 organisations who exert some regulatory influence on NHS provider organisations in addition to 211 Clinical Commissioning Groups. The majority of these organisations set standards and collect data from provider organisations and a considerable number carry out investigations. We found a multitude of overlapping functions and activities. The variability in approach and overlapping functions suggest that there is no overall integrated regulatory approach.ConclusionRegulation potentially provides a variety of benefits in terms of maintaining the safety and quality of care by providing an external perspective on the care being delivered. However, the variability, extent and fragmentation of the regulatory system of the NHS make it hard for regulators to act effectively and places a massive burden on NHS provider organisations. Overlapping regulatory requests may distract locally driven initiatives to improve safety and quality. Further research is needed to understand the full extent of regulatory activity and the true benefits and costs incurred.

This research aims to determine the food carrying capacity and environmental suitability of Kemingking Dalam Village in Muaro Jambi Regency for maintaining food security amidst planned modern industrial developments. Designated as a strategic national area, this village is set to become the first modern industrial zone in Jambi Province. The study employed Geospatial Information System (GIS) methods to assess and map food carrying capacity, particularly focusing on rice production. Findings indicate that the area is currently capable of meeting its food needs.The food provision ecosystem services were categorized into five levels, from very low to very high. The study revealed that 71% (1,874.32 hectares) of the village falls under the “very high” category for food provision. However, a significant portion of the planned industrial area, about 995 hectares or 68.47% of the total, overlaps with these high to very high food provision zones.The policy implication is that areas that have the high-very high category in providing food are not recommended to become modern industrial areas in order to maintain food security.

Full textAbstract:
Primary healthcare institutions (PHIs) in China have experienced a sizable decline in medical services in recent years. Despite the large regional disparities in China, there is a lack of evidence on the differential patterns of medical services offered by PHIs, especially from a spatial perspective. This study examines whether residents in more remote areas use more medical services offered by township healthcare centers (THCs), a main type of PHIs. Linking medical visits to 923 THCs in a western Chinese province in 2020 with the driving time and geographic coordinates from the Gaode map, a leading map navigation provider in China, we applied a multilevel linear model and a geographically weighted regression to examine spatial heterogeneity in medical service utilization. We showed that a one-hour increase in the shortest driving time between THCs and the local county hospitals was associated with an average 6% increase in THCs outpatient visits and a 0.6% increase in THCs inpatient visits. Our findings suggest that THCs located in more remote areas provided more medical services, especially outpatient services. This study may improve our understanding of the spatial disparity in medical services provision for THCs in western China. We suggest that more attention should be paid to enhance the quality of THCs in remote areas, which deserve a higher priority in the process of improving the quality of primary healthcare. Health policymaking in developing regions such as western China should take geographic factors into account.

Full textAbstract:
This paper describes one healthcare system’s approach to strategically deploying genetic specialists and pharmacists to support the implementation of a precision medicine program. In 2013, Sanford Health initiated the development of a healthcare system-wide precision medicine program. Here, we report the necessary staffing including the genetic counselors, genetic counseling assistants, pharmacists, and geneticists. We examined the administrative and electronic medical records data to summarize genetic referrals over time as well as the uptake and results of an enterprise-wide genetic screening test. Between 2013 and 2020, the number of genetic specialists employed at Sanford Health increased by 190%, from 10.1 full-time equivalents (FTEs) to 29.3 FTEs. Over the same period, referrals from multiple provider types to genetic services increased by 423%, from 1438 referrals to 7517 referrals. Between 2018 and 2020, 11,771 patients received a genetic screening, with 4% identified with potential monogenic medically actionable predisposition (MAP) findings and 95% identified with at least one informative pharmacogenetic result. Of the MAP-positive patients, 85% had completed a session with a genetics provider. A strategic workforce staffing and deployment allowed Sanford Health to manage a new genetic screening program, which prompted a large increase in genetic referrals. This approach can be used as a template for other healthcare systems interested in the development of a precision medicine program.
