Full textAbstract:
Transportation research is often open ended and difficult to measure in that its beneficiaries may not know how they have been served by research activities and results. This research project sought to ( a) obtain feedback from Ohio Department of Transportation (Ohio DOT) constituents; ( b) develop a strategic communication plan that supports Ohio DOT's overall mission and goals, keeping in mind research office resources; and ( c) develop a communication template that other departments of transportation could model or use. To accomplish those objectives, existing knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors concerning Ohio DOT's research office were obtained through a number of surveys. Those surveyed included the Ohio general public, internal DOT constituents (technical liaisons, administrators and directors, district deputy directors, district research contacts, and FHWA regional center directors), and external DOT constituents (consultants, contractors, transportation committee legislators, and college civil engineering department heads). In addition, a nationwide survey of department of transportation research office directors was conducted to determine the constituents with whom these offices communicate and the means by which they do so. Common areas of interest among constituents were identified; from those, key research-office message points were proposed, as were constituents’ preferred methods of receiving research office information. The study also found that most research office directors believed that they communicated well internally but did not communicate effectively to external audiences. Part of this problem could lie in their failing to utilize communication office personnel, who have the expertise and contacts to spread the word about transportation research.

33 Background: Cancer survivors may require specialized medical care to address their unique needs. However, there are few reports of nationally-representative outpatient-care patterns among survivors. Methods: We examined adult cancer survivors’ outpatient medical visits using data from the 2010 & 2012 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS), a survey of U.S. physician office-based visits. Survivors were identified as individuals with medical visits related to cancer (based on physician diagnosis codes or patient-supplied reasons for visit) but who did not currently have cancer. Weights from the NAMCS were used to produce results corresponding to the overall U.S. population. Results: The NAMCS data included 477 survivor visits, corresponding to a two-year nationally-representative weighted total of 7,435,753 visits. Most survivors were White (75%); 13% were Black and 8% Hispanic. Most survivors had private insurance (49%) or Medicare (40%); 4% had Medicaid. Almost all (99%) saw a physician during the recorded visit. Only 20% of survivor’s outpatient visits were with oncologists; 20% were with primary care physicians, 12% with OB/GYN physicians, 5% with general surgeons, and more than one-third (35%) with other physician specialties. The most common services received during survivors' visits include general physical exams (57%) and imaging studies (20%). Visits with oncologists were less likely to include depression screening or counseling regarding nutrition, exercise, stress management, tobacco use, or weight reduction than were visits with other types of physicians. Conclusions: Cancer survivors experience diverse outpatient medical care interactions; only a minority of these are with oncologists. Oncologist visits are less likely to involve important counseling services. The NAMCS represents an important data source for examining outpatient care patterns among survivors.

Research background: Globalization has significantly affected the way a territory communicates its offer. Only public administration, which is innovative and at the same time effective in its activities, can adapt and respond to the ever-changing conditions and requirements of today’s society and its members. Innovation and its activities, research and development are the result of proliferation and they are considered to be the driving force behind the growth of the economy, in the form of new knowledge. Those regions that have spent more money and effort on innovation activities in the past are now at a more advanced level. These are the main reasons to focus on this topic and bring the results of our research. Purpose of the article: The aim of the article is to present the findings which show the level of communication between the municipality and the public and the possibilities of using communication tools towards their more effective usage. Methods: It presents the results of a questionnaire survey realized at the level of local governments in the Trnava region. The results of the questionnaire survey with a description and explanation are shown graphically. The offices we asked were the following: Trnava City Office, Trnava Self-Governing Region Office, Trnava District Office. Findings and value added: The article presents the findings of a survey that was carried out for the purpose of the dissertation which deals with regional marketing communications.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility of multisite community-based outcomes research. DESIGN: Prospective observational study of variations in treating acute external otitis by otolaryngologists and primary care practitioners. SETTING: Community-based independent otolaryngology practices. PARTICIPANTS: Patients with external otitis treated by otolaryngologists in Project Solo, a nonprofit, grassroots organization of independent physicians united for quality, patient advocacy, and cost containment. METHODS: Confidential (bar-coded), disease-specific outcomes questionnaires completed by patients (12 items) and by participating physicians (15 items). Response to treatment was measured with a follow-up patient questionnaire (3 items). RESULTS: Nine patients were recruited from 5 of 29 enrolled otolaryngologists. Primary care practitioners were more likely to prescribe oral antimicrobials than otolaryngologists (100% vs. 44%, p = 0.03), but less likely to insert a wick in the external auditory canal (11 % vs. 78%, p = 0.02). Poor recruitment was caused by an overly long and complex survey, data collection at multiple time points, lack of time during office hours, cumbersome data collection requirements, inadequate ongoing communication, and a lack of enthusiasm for the project. CONCLUSIONS: Future efforts at implementing a multisite outcomes study will require shorter questionnaires, smoother integration of the survey process with regular office flow, simplified procedures for data exchange, frequent communication with data collection sites, and motivational programs for participating physicians and their office staff.

150 Background: In 2013, a patient reported satisfaction survey indicated 19% of patients waited 20-40 minutes, 8% 40-60 minutes and 4% over 1 hour. We initiated a project to objectively quantify the components of wait times to investigate opportunities for improvement. Methods: Utilizing existing technology in the practice management system, clinic staff use the Day List feature to capture time stamps as patients move through the clinic. We focused on provider appointments but these visits could also include business office, labs, infusion and diagnostics. It was important to define where the wait(s) occurred. The Time Stamp durations measured are as follows: Arrival to Depart – duration of each appointment; Arrival to site to Exam Start – duration of activity until ready to be seen by the provider, includes rooming, labs and business office activity. Used to compare to the patient satisfaction survey responses; Exam Start to Depart – the provider portion of the office visit, includes patient wait plus exam time. Three reports are generated: Time Stamp Error Report indicating the completeness of data collection; Average Wait Times Report with appointment counts by physician by site and average durations; Provider Wait Times Report with office visit counts, Wait Time Category counts ( < 10 min, 10-20, 20-40, 40-60, and > 1 hour ) and average durations. Results: There was a correlation calculation to the patient satisfaction survey of .779, with long wait times more likely to be underreported by patients. Site and physician data were available for review at site Quality Committees. The data can be used by the site to improve processes, such as lab and infusion room scheduling. Time stamps are used to communicate patient readiness for next steps in the office visit. The time stamps provide objective data to discuss patient complaints with staff. Conclusions: Patient wait times are a valued measure of patient satisfaction and quality. Full utilization of the Day List and supporting technology allows us to objectively monitor and improve this aspect of patient care. Table 1: Sample Provider Report [Table: see text]

Full textAbstract:
This research is motivated by the fact that an office as a forum for activities depends on the type of business being carried out, where the conditions of the office will determine the credibility and synergy of a business entity, guaranteeing the performance and productivity of its employees. This study aims to formulate an interior design concept based on Post Occupancy Evaluation with the Mixed Methods Research (MMR) approach, which emphasizes the meaning of empiric based on relevant field data. The research method used the case study method with the MMR approach in data collection and analysis. The research step was started by analyzing the physical space conditions based on the design results that were compared with standardization, then a satisfaction survey was carried out using a questionnaire that was submitted to the employees as respondents. The MMR approach is intended to ensure the level of significance of the quality of the work environment in the room, the quality of the workplace, and the performance of employees. The research object is the Haleyora Powerindo office building, Jakarta. The results of the study show that the work environment quality is high and responds positively. According to the workplace quality, satisfaction is mainly related to workspace area and quality, comfort and style of furniture, circulation, and accessibility to the work table, effectiveness and efficiency of workplace layout, ICT implementation, and HVAC and maintenance. Social space and entertainment facilities provide flexibility in interacting between officers of different divisions that were not in the previous office. Based on the results of multiple regression calculations, the in-door environment and the officer workspace quality have a significant effect on officer performance. These are 3 main factors critical in conducting systematic evaluations to obtain results from office space design. This study is expected to be a strategic reference for planning and designing a similar spatial atmosphere in different locations or cases. Further research needs to be developed in the future on the ergonomic aspect through the human-centered design approach to obtain a single guideline for office design based on post-occupancy space performance and user participation.

ABSTRACTThe Aedes aegypti index in the buffer area of the Class 1 Surabaya Port Health Office was in accordance with the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) as stated in the Regulation of the Indonesian Ministry of Health Number 431 of 2007 (431/MENKES/SK/IV/2007) on Technical Guidelines for Control of Environmental Health Risks in Ports/Airports/Cross-Border in the Context of Health Quarantine. The Port Health Office has responsibilities to control environmental risks, one of which was the Aedes aegypti mosquitos in the borders. This study was descriptive observational and aimed to analyze the managerial components in Aedes aegypti mosquito control in the buffer area ofthe Class 1 Surabaya Port Health Office in Surabaya. The research variables (factors that determine control activities) were manpower, money, methods, materials, markets, machines, and information. The research subjects were two officers at Class 1 Surabaya Port Health Office and five cadres who monitored larva. Data were analyzed descriptively. The results explained that manpower, money, materials, market, technology, and information were all in accordance with the SOP of the Surabaya Port Health Office. However, the larva survey method did not comply with the SOP as officers still used the visual method. It was concluded that managerial components in Aedes aegypti control by Class 1 Surabaya Port Health Office followed the SOP except in their larva survey method. The researchers recommended carrying out a larva survey method by taking 1 larva from each container (single larva) at a time. Keywords: Aedes aegypti, control vector, managerial components.

<p><strong>Introduction:</strong> The primary objective of this study was to compare surgical management options for various urolithiasis scenarios that urologists would choose for themselves vs. the options they would recommend for their patients. The secondary objective was to identify the common recommended treatments for upper urinary tract stones of various sizes and locations.</p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> Two surveys were sent by the Clinical Research Office of the Endourological Society (CROES) to members of the Endourological Society. Standard demographic information was collected. The first survey asked the urologists to recommend treatment for urolithiasis in 10 different scenarios assuming that they were the patient with stone disease. The second survey, sent eight months later, asked urologists to recommend treatment for the same 10 scenarios for a theoretical patient. Only urologists who responded to the first and the second survey were included. Recommended treatment options were compared between the surveys. Agreement between the two scenarios was measured with Cohen’s kappa. Surveys were conducted on the Internet using SurveyMonkey™. All statistical analyses were performed using R statistical program version 2.12.2.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> The two surveys had response rates of 78% (160/205) and 84% (172/205), respectively with urologists from 38 countries. Median experience of respondents was seven years (range: 2‒30). The majority of respondents, 117 (75%), were affiliated with academic hospitals. Recommended treatments for stone disease in different scenarios were not entirely consistent when the urologists considered themselves as the patients compared to the choice they might recommend for their patients. Cohen’s kappa ranged from 0.292‒0.534 for the different scenarios. Overall, shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) and ureteroscopy (URS) were the most commonly chosen treatment options, with medical expulsive therapy (MET) and laparoscopy being the least recommended by urologists for themselves, as well as for their patients.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Although urologists were not entirely consistent in their recommendations for stone treatment, they generally followed the “golden rule” and treated their patients as they would want to be treated. The most commonly recommended treatments for upper urinary tract stones were SWL and URS.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to quantify fitout churn in office buildings to more accurately evaluate the recurrent embodied energy in life cycle assessment studies. Design/methodology/approach Three research methods were used in the context of Central Business District (CBD) office buildings in Sydney. Method 1 involved leasing records from 528 office buildings; method 2, a leasing history from a selective sample of three prime grade office buildings; method 3, a targeted survey of 21 property professionals concerning fitout churn cycle estimates. Findings Prime buildings are the area of most interest to fitout churn because they represent a large proportion of total office floor area. The churn rate differs according to office tenancy type (as defined by small, medium and large leased areas). Large tenants occupy the majority of floor space. Lease duration as obtained from Method 1, offers a reasonable proxy for predicting fitout churn. Using this method coupled with weighted-average calculations, the data indicate a fitout churn rate of 8.2 years. Research limitations/implications Variability concerning the situational context of Sydney CBD office buildings restricts broad generalisability of the findings. However, the research method used in this study would enable broad-based comparison and the potential for verification. Originality/value The main contribution of the research is to improve the ability to accurately predict fitout churn cycles as previous work only involves limited case studies and arbitrary estimates, thus lacking a strong evidence based.

227 Background: The objective of this work was to develop a reliable and valid survey measuring aspects of cancer care important to patients to be used in both inpatient and outpatient settings, and that allows comparisons of patient experiences across treatment centers and treatment modalities (medical oncology, radiation, surgery). Other objectives included testing various modes of data collection and developing a standardized sampling methodology based on ICD diagnosis and procedure codes. Methods: We conducted focus groups with patients who had received cancer treatment and with family members of cancer patients. We convened a panel of experts representing quality improvement, oncology, shared decision-making, patient safety, and patient advocacy to obtain feedback on the development of the survey. We interviewed stakeholder groups representing oncology associations to obtain feedback on focal provider, attribution and sampling. We then conducted a field test of the survey among six cancer centers around the country, conducted psychometric analyses, revised the survey, conducted a second field test among four community oncology practices in CA, re-analyzed the data, and finalized the survey. Results: Final survey content was determined using results of the formative research, psychometric analyses, and input from the CAHPS Consortium. The core survey includes 56 questions, 23 of which map to eight composites: Provider Communication, Enabling Patient Self-management, Team Available to Provide Information, Access to Care, Care Coordination, and Office Staff. Supplemental item sets include seven items assessing Shared Decision Making, four items measuring Keeping Patients Informed, and two additional Access to Care items. Mail-only, mail-telephone mixed-mode, and web-mail mixed-mode are recommended methods of data collection. The survey and all recruiting materials are available in English and Spanish. Conclusions: The CAHPS Cancer Care Survey is a rigorously developed, well-tested, reliable and valid survey of patient experiences with their cancer care. The survey and supporting materials are available free of charge on the CAHPS website (www.ahrq.gov/cahps).

Due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on dental treatments, the present research aimed to assess the infection rate among dental practitioners from Romania and to analyze the economic impact of Covid-19 on dental offices. We designed a web-based survey distributed to dental practitioners from Romania. The survey included questions that assessed demographic data from the dentists who completed the questionnaire, along with economic aspects and epidemiological aspects related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on dental practitioners. Five hundred and seven dentists completed the survey. Three-quarters of the assessed dental offices reported a decrease in the income and patient volume compared to 2019. More than half of the patients visiting the dental office paid more attention to the risk of infection and to prevention methods. Most dental offices implemented specific protective equipment for doctors. Three thousand seven hundred thirty-five dental practitioners were working in the 507 assessed dental offices, and among them, 238 COVID-19 cases of contamination were recorded. High contamination rates were registered in October (48, 20.1%), November (66, 27.7%), and December 2020 (52, 21.85%). Contamination mostly took place at home (114 cases, 47.8%) or resulted from event attendance. This study underlines an overall greater level of safety and an increased patient addressability in dental offices.

Knowledge is power in social change efforts, and data and diverse approaches are needed to fuel it. Recommendations from this section's experts in the field are united in calling for using Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidelines consistently; disaggregating data collection and reporting on socioeconomic, educational, cultural, youth, and health challenges facing Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders (NHPIs); improving data estimates by addressing small sample sizes with oversampling methods and targeted surveys; and collaborating with public and private community-based organizations to promote high response rates and/or data partnerships. A great need exists for trend analyses over time on NHPIs. These analyses will shed insight on the effects of programs and policies, including longitudinal studies, such as the ECLS and the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Consistently, research by these authors highlights the power of culturally relevant approaches and the importance of developing innovative approaches to data, knowledge, and research that embrace indigenous perspectives in program and policy design, particularly in education, health, and science.

125 Background: Few studies have been reported in oncology regarding elements of physician agenda. We aim to compare elements of a doctor office visit agenda between hem/onc physicians (MD) and patients (pts). Methods: Pts and MDs were enrolled to completed a five question survey. Pts were asked: “My doctor” Focuses more on quantity of life and less on quality of life, spends enough time with me, addresses symptoms, addresses chemo side effects, and addresses prognosis. MDs were asked the same questions but worded: "I” spend enough time with pts for example. Answers were recorded on a 5 point scale (1 = highly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = neutral, 4 = agree,5 = highly agree) and converted into 2 categories (1,2,3 = neutral/disagree vs 4,5 = agree). Fisher’s exact test with 2 sided p-value was used to compare significance between MD & pts. Results: 1008 pts and 55 MDs were enrolled between 06/2013 - 10/2015. Pt mean age 55 (18-88) with 45% male and 55% female. Racial profile: 16% white, 14% black, 2% Asian/Pacific Islander. Ethnicity: 62% of pts were Hispanic vs. 38% not Hispanic, & 6% other. A significant number of pts feel MDs focus more on quantity of life vs. quality of life (64% pt vs 26% MD p < 0.0001) and MD spend enough time (94% pt vs 82% MD p < 0.05). No differences were seen for symptoms (92% vs 87% p = 0.2), side effects (92% vs 94% p = 1.0), or prognosis (91% vs 96% p = 0.3) pt vs MD respesctively. Conclusions: Pts feel MDs focus more on quantity of life vs. the quality of life. MDs feel they focus more on quality of life vs. quantity of life. Perhaps bridging the gap in what constitutes “quality of life” may improve patient satisfaction. Furthermore MDs underestimate the time spent with their patients. Perhaps MD are spending too much time with some patients resulting in inefficient office visits.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Access to biostatistics expertise is essential for a successful clinical and translational research program. However, demand for statistical support at academic research centers can strain the capacity of biostatistics units. Our objective was to efficiently increase access to statistical expertise. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: In cooperation with the Cancer Center Biostatistics Shared Resource, we replaced an informal 1-hour drop-in consultation program with structured office hours to provide statistical support to clinical and translational researchers at the University of California, Davis Medical Center. We doubled office hours to 2 hours per week and established six 20-minute appointments. Two Ph.D. level statisticians staff office hours. Researchers schedule appointments through Acuity Scheduling, a free on-line resource. Availability of the service is advertised monthly by sending an informational flyer to various university listservs. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Prior to implementing the program in 2014, we averaged 91 office hour consults per year. Subsequently, consultations jumped to 171 in 2014 and have averaged 150 per year since then. Office hours attract students, residents, staff and faculty from a wide range of disciplines including the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Veterinary Medicine and basic science departments. Project types span the clinical and translational spectrum covering lab, animal, clinical and population-level studies. Most consults related to data analysis and interpretation (57%) followed by sample size calculations/study design (29%) and response to reviewers (4%), with general statistical advice as the remainder. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: With 6 micro-consults per week, we can meet with many investigators and triage their statistical support needs. This program has proved very popular and was highly rated in a recent user survey, with several investigators noting that the consults facilitated successful publications and proposals.

e14026 Background: Patient-reported outcome (PRO) tools have been shown to improve outcomes including overall survival for cancer patients. However, routine implementation of PROs in clinical practice within the electronic medical record (EMR) remains limited. We studied the use of a PRO tool for patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) integrated in an EMR. Methods: Between August 2017 and December 2019 patients with newly diagnosed HNC were surveyed at baseline, then every 3 months using the FACT-G7 and FACT H&N (Version 4). A medical assistant (MA) performed a baseline survey around the time of diagnosis and then notified patients electronically every 3 months for two years and then every 6 months until patients completed their 5 years of surveillance. Patients who did not respond to online PRO surveys could complete them via telephone appointments with MAs, or in office pre-rooming. Abnormal findings on PRO surveys were referred to appropriate members of the care team or the treating ENT physicians. Results: 290 patients received baseline surveys. Patients received up to a maximum of 8 subsequent surveys (table). Out of a total of 597 electronic surveys, 585 (97.9%) were completed. The percentage of patient completing each survey ranged from 92-100%. Conclusions: PRO tools can be effectively deployed within the EMR for HNC patients with a high completion rate provided that there is strong engagement from a dedicated member of the care team. This has important implications for designing clinical trials and symptom monitoring in clinical practices that incorporate EMRs.

Full textAbstract:
Background: A cancer diagnosis is a monumental event in a patient’s life and with the number of cancer survivors increasing; most of these patients will be taken care of by a primary care provider at some point after their cancer therapy. The purpose of this study is to identify primary care physician’s needs to care for a patient who has had cancer. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of the physician members of the Iowa Research Network was conducted. The survey was designed to measure physician confidence in cancer survivor’s care, office strategies regarding cancer survivorship care, and resources available for patients with cancer. Two hundred seventy-four Iowa Research Network members were invited to participate in this survey. Results: Eighty-two physicians (30%) completed the questionnaire with 96% reporting that they are aware of their patient’s cancer survivorship status. Seventy-one physicians reported they were aware of cancer survivorship status by an oncologist sending a note to the office, 68 being diagnosed in their office, 61 by the patient keeping the office apprised, and 15 receiving a survivorship care plan. Physicians reported the top changes in a cancer survivor’s physical health as fatigue (81%) and pain (59%). Sixty-two physicians reported not feeling confident for managing chemobrain, cardiotoxicity (71%), and skin changes (35%). Male physicians were significantly more confident managing patients’ skin changes ( P = .049) and musculoskeletal disturbances than female physicians ( P = .027), while female physicians were significantly more confident managing early-onset menopause than male physicians ( P = .027). Conclusion: Most respondents are aware of their patients who are cancer survivors and are mostly confident in the care they provide for them related to long-term effects and side effects of cancer therapies with limited receipt of cancer survivorship care plans.

PURPOSE COVID-19 has affected cancer care worldwide. Clinical trials are an important alternative for the treatment of oncologic patients, especially in Latin America, where trials can be the only opportunity for some of them to access novel and, sometimes, standard treatments. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study, in which a 22-question survey regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on oncology clinical trials was sent to 350 representatives of research programs in selected Latin American institutions, members of the Latin American Cooperative Oncology Group. RESULTS There were 90 research centers participating in the survey, with 70 of them from Brazil. The majority were partly private or fully private (n = 77; 85.6%) and had confirmed COVID-19 cases at the institution (n = 57; 63.3%). Accruals were suspended at least for some studies in 80% (n = 72) of the responses, mostly because of sponsors' decision. Clinical trials' routine was affected by medical visits cancelation, reduction of patients' attendance, reduction of other specialties' availability, and/or alterations on follow-up processes. Formal COVID-19 mitigation policies were adopted in 96.7% of the centers, including remote monitoring and remote site initiation visits, telemedicine visits, reduction of research team workdays or home office, special consent procedures, shipment of oral drugs directly to patients' home, and increase in outpatient diagnostic studies. Importantly, some of these changes were suggested to be part of future oncology clinical trials' routine, particularly the ones regarding remote methods, such as telemedicine. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this was the first survey to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on Latin American oncology clinical trials. The results are consistent with surveys from other world regions. These findings may endorse improvements in clinical trials' processes and management in the postpandemic period.

Full textAbstract:
In the newly decorated office premises, the architectural decoration material will release much polluted gas, thus the IAQ is highly concerned. Natural ventilation through open windows can influence the IAQ. To study the effects of opening windows on the indoor air quality of newly decorated office premises, we choose several newly decorated offices in a commercial building in Changsha, a city in hot summer and cold winter region of China, as the study object. The 4 contrastive research schemes in the winter are adopted to acquire the results. Field-testing and air sampling methods were taken respectively to the 4 schemes to measure the concentrations of the main pollution composition such as formaldehyde, ammonia, benzene and TVOC in the offices. Meanwhile, relevant questionnaire surveys towards the four schemes were taken to the staff in the offices. We have synthesized and analyzed the IAQ condition of the 4 research schemes from the results of the tests and surveys. The result of the study shows that: the IAQ is the worst and cannot come up to the national standard when closing windows all day long in the newly decorated offices. Also some staff have a series of adverse reactions working in the work environment for a long time. All the other three schemes can improve the IAQ differently, and the scheme that opening windows all day long can improve the IAQ the best. Meanwhile, people can feel the change of IAQ effected by the 3 ventilation schemes if he/she is working for a long time in the offices.

Full textAbstract:
Subject. The article deals with the scope of application of digital technologies to tax monitoring and administration. Digitalization plays an important part in activities performed by the Federal Tax Service and helps reduce the administrative workload on both taxpayers and tax authority. The use of digital communication channels saves our time, because it allows to submit tax returns and send letters online. Furthermore, it enhances the efficiency of in-office audits and helps identify eventual tax violations. Objectives. We review a set of digital services and technologies used by the Federal Tax Service, their effectiveness, and present our findings on taxpayers' attitude to ongoing digital reforms. Methods. The validity and argumentation are based on official statistics of the Federal Tax Service concerning the dynamics of tax revenues and inspections, quantitative research through questionnaires and analysis of the findings. Results. We examine a range of digital services and technologies, including the Automated Control System – Value Added Tax, a new type of cash registers – Automated Information System Marking, Federal Government Information System – Unified State Register of Civil Registry Office, and personal accounts of taxpayers. Moreover, the article presents results of a survey among owners and top managers of companies, identifying their opinion on the coming taxation reforms. Conclusions and Relevance. Digitalization helped the Federal Tax Service significantly increase the efficiency of tax audits, while reducing the frequency of tax audits and the number of fly-by-night companies and the likelihood of using informal tax administration schemes. However, authorities should find a balance between the enhancement of the taxation system and their relationship with businesses.

229 Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer, generally treated with surgical resection, followed by complex surveillance for recurrence. We examined associations between experiences of care and adherence to surveillance Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries with a history of CRC. Methods: Using linked data from the National Cancer Institute Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) cancer registry program, Medicare claims and the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) patient experience surveys (SEER-CAHPS), we identified survivors ages 65+, diagnosed with local/regional first primary colorectal cancer 1999-2009 who underwent surgical resection and completed CAHPS survey within 36 months of diagnosis. Adherence to guidelines for a three-year observation period was defined as receiving a colonoscopy; at least 2 carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) tests; and more than 2 office visits and 1 computer tomography (CT) imaging test each year. We dichotomized CAHPS ratings into 9 or 10 out of 10 versus 0-9 for analysis (higher ratings mean better quality). Results: Most of the 314 participants reported ratings of 9 or 10 for overall care (55%), personal doctor (59%), and health plan (60%). Slightly less than half (47%) gave their specialist doctor ratings of 9 or 10. Adherence to surveillance was 76% for office visits, 36.9% for CEA testing, 48.1% for colonoscopy, and 10.3% for CT Imaging. Sixty-two percent of the sample were categorized as adherent (receiving ≥ 2 surveillance guidelines). In multivariable models, adherence to office visits was positively associated with ratings of personal doctor (OR = 2.0; 95% CI = 1.1, 3.5) and specialist doctor (OR = 2.7; 95% CI = 1.4, 4.9), and overall adherence was associated with ratings of personal doctor (OR = 2.1; 95% CI = 1.2, 3.6). Conclusions: Findings point to the important role of patient-provider relationships in adherence to CRC post-resection surveillance guidelines. As adherence to surveillance may increase survival among CRC survivors, further investigation is needed to identify specific components of this relationship, as well as other potential modifiable drivers of surveillance guidelines.

Full textAbstract:
Background Refugee resettlement offices are the first point of contact for newly arrived refugees and play a significant role in helping refugees acclimate and settle into life in the United States. Available literature suggests that refugee women are vulnerable to poor sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes, including sexually transmitted infections and HIV infections as well as adverse pregnancy outcomes, but little is known about the role that refugee resettlement offices play in supporting refugee women’s SRH. This study examines the capacity and interest of resettlement offices in providing SRH information and referrals to newly arrived refugees. Methods and findings The research team conducted an online survey of staff members at refugee resettlement offices throughout the US in 2018 to determine (1) available SRH resources and workshops; (2) referrals to and assistance with making appointments for SRH and primary care appointments; (3) barriers to addressing SRH needs of clients; and (4) interest in building the capacity of office staff to address SRH issues. The survey was created for this study and had not been previously used or validated. Survey data underwent descriptive analysis. A total of 236 resettlement offices were contacted, with responses from 100 offices, for a total response rate of 42%. Fifteen percent (N = 15) of refugee resettlement agencies (RRAs) who responded to the survey provide materials about SRH to clients, and 49% (N = 49) incorporate sexual health into the classes they provide to newly arrived refugee clients. Moreover, 12% (N = 12) of responding RRAs screen clients for pregnancy intention, and 20% (N = 20) directly refer to contraceptive care and services. This study is limited by the response rate of the survey; no conclusions can be drawn about those offices that did not respond. In addition, the survey instrument was not validated against any other sources of information about the practices of refugee resettlement offices. Conclusions In this study, we observed that many resettlement offices do not routinely provide information or referrals for SRH needs. Responding offices cite lack of time and competing priorities as major barriers to providing SRH education and referrals to clients.

Abstract Objectives Translational research in laboratory medicine and pathology is transforming health care based on recent quantum advances in omics technologies, computational science, and precision medicine. However, high-volume clinical settings where this research may be most effective often have significant constraints on faculty time that challenge productivity. The objective of this study was to assess our experience with a new resource designed to address this challenge. Methods In September 2016, we established the Research and Innovation Office (RIO) in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, Mayo Clinic–Rochester. The goal was to provide infrastructure to unburden faculty from performing administrative, organizational, and operational tasks related to research. Over 30 months, we solicited faculty input into desired services, conducted surveys on utility and ease of use, and tracked metrics, including faculty participation, numbers of projects, and publications. Results Faculty members were highly satisfied with the range of services, ease of use, and service-oriented approach of RIO. Initial services included project organization, institutional process support (eg, IRB protocol management), biospecimen requests and handling, and data management. Based on early feedback, patient consenting, budget support, and manuscript assistance were added as additional services. Total RIO staff increased from 6 to 10 during in the first 30 months. Over this time, 97 of 160 faculty members (60%) utilized RIO services in over 1,000 discrete project requests. Annual departmental publications increased by 50% during this time. Conclusion Faculty time is a critical element for translational research productivity in laboratory medicine and pathology departments. Numerous tasks previously performed by faculty could be managed effectively by a team of research facilitators that unburdened constraints on research time and led to high levels of faculty engagement, satisfaction, and productivity. This model may promote advances in transformative laboratory medicine and pathology research in high-volume clinical settings.

Background During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, psychiatric hospitals all over the world had to adapt their services to the prevailing governmental regulations. As a consequence, home office use and telepsychiatry boomed. Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential of home office use, its adoption, and the association of home office use with employees’ mental health in a large psychiatric university hospital in Switzerland. Methods We obtained and analyzed home office implementation and use data from the psychiatric university hospital’s information technology services. We also conducted a cross-sectional web-based survey to assess the employees’ attitudes toward the clinic’s crisis management during the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020. Part of this web-based survey consisted of questions about home office use between March and June 2020, attitudes toward home office implementation, and mental health. Three mental health measures assessed depressive symptoms (Patient Health Questionnaire [PHQ]–2), anxiety (General Anxiety Disorder [GAD]–2), and stress factors (stress module of the PHQ-D); a cut-off score ≥3 was used for the PHQ-2 and GAD-2. Results Of the 200 participating employees, 69 reported that they had worked from home at least partially (34.5%). Home office use differed significantly across professional groups (χ162=72.72, P≤.001, n=200). Employees experienced neither depressive symptoms (mean 0.76, SD 1.14) nor anxiety (mean 0.70, SD 1.03). The employees reported minor psychosocial stressors (mean 2.83, SD 2.92). The number of reported stress factors varied significantly across groups with different levels of home office use (χ42=9.72, P=.04). Conclusions In general, home office implementation appears to be feasible for large psychiatric hospitals, however, it is not equally feasible for all professional groups. Professional groups that require personal contact with patients and technical or manual tasks must work onsite. Further evaluation of home office use in psychiatric hospitals up to the development of clinics that function merely online will follow in future research. The situation created by the COVID-19 pandemic served as a stepping stone to promote home office use and should be used to improve employees’ work–life balance, to save employers costs and foster other benefits.

PURPOSE: The Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Cancer Care Survey is a systematic assessment of health care experiences of patients with cancer. It supports comparisons among all cancer treatment settings and modalities. METHODS: Formative research included 16 focus groups with patients receiving treatment and family members; advice from a panel of oncology and quality improvement experts; and interviews with stakeholders representing oncology associations, accredited cancer centers, and community oncology practices. We conducted cognitive tests of the instrument and field tests at six cancer centers and four community oncology practices, after which the survey was finalized and obtained the CAHPS trademark. RESULTS: The survey includes 56 questions that form six core composite measures (Getting Timely Care; Supporting Patient Self-Management; Available to Provide Care and Information; Provider Communication; Care Coordination; and Courteous Office Staff); two single-item measures of family participation in care and interpreter services; and two global ratings of cancer care and the treatment team. Sixteen additional items form three supplemental composite measures: Shared Decision-Making, Keeping Patients Informed, and Access to Care. CONCLUSION: Mail-only, mail-telephone mixed-mode, and Web-mail mixed-mode data collection methods are recommended. The questionnaires and instructions for use are free and available in English and Spanish on the CAHPS Website ( www.ahrq.gov/cahps ).

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the cleanliness of a work environment has influence on the productivity of employees working in office environments of non-profit organizations in The Netherlands. Design/methodology/approach In the study, an online survey (including questions about the perceived cleanliness) and two objective cleanliness assessment methods (particle counts and surface cleanliness) are used. The data are collected using an online questionnaire to determine the workers’ perception (of productivity and cleanliness) and to measure the cleanliness (visual assessment of the surface cleanliness and measured [dust] particle counts in the ambient air) at five different non-profit organizations in The Netherlands. Findings It is found that a higher objective cleanliness correlates significantly with a higher perceived productivity of employees working in office environments of non-profit organizations in The Netherlands. A higher measured cleanliness also correlates significantly with a higher work satisfaction level of employees working in office environments. Finally, a significant correlation is found between the satisfaction of employees with their work as a whole and the perceived productivity of the employees; a higher satisfaction leads to a higher perceived productivity. Research limitations/implications The cleanliness is measured in five non-profit organizations, so it is not possible to draw any strong generalization. Future studies are needed to confirm or contradict the findings in this research. Practical implications The results highlight the aspects of the cleanliness in the office environment that influence the perceived productivity. This concerns the measured cleanliness. Employees evaluate their own productivity lower at a higher level of particle counts in the ambient air in the office environment and when more dirt and stain are found on the surface (lower surface cleanliness). In response to these findings, it is recommended to carry out regular cleaning activities in the office environment where the employees perform their work. Overall, to maintain or achieve maximum personal productivity, a clean office environment is important. Originality/value This research is the first to identify the relationship between perceived productivity and measured cleanliness of the office environment.

The aim: To determine the level of patients' satisfaction with the received dental care in regional dental clinic and to make proposals for improving the quality of dental care based on the survey results. Materials and methods: 221 copies of the questionnaires completed by the respondents; sociological method (questionnaire), medical-statistical, analysis and bibliosemantic methods were used. Results: Patients expressed high satisfaction with the quality of dental care according to the criteria of geographical accessibility (4.28 ± 0.05 points), the conditions in the doctor's office (4.63 ± 0.04 points), safety of dental interventions (4.54 ± 0.04 points) and their effectiveness (4.58 ± 0.04 points), the attitude of the doctor to the patient (4.75 ± 0.03 points), the clarity of information for the patient (4.52 ± 0.04 points). However, the satisfaction of patients with the cost of dental services was only 3.76 ± 0.05 points. Conclusions: Patients' satisfaction with the financial accessibility of dental care was found to be lower compared to satisfaction with other healthcare quality components. This information can be used to make management decisions on revising the coverage of the cost of dental services from the state budget and other sources of funding.

The use of digital communication channels saves our time, because it allows to submit tax returns and send letters online. Besides, it enhances the efficiency of in-office audits and helps identify eventual tax violations. Objectives. We review a set of digital services and technologies used by the Federal Tax Service, their effectiveness, and present our findings on taxpayers’ attitude to ongoing digital reforms. Methods. The validity and argumentation are based on official statistics of the Federal Tax Service concerning the dynamics of tax revenues and inspections, quantitative research through questionnaires and analysis of the findings. Results. We examine a range of digital services and technologies, including the Automated Control System – Value Added Tax, a new type of cash registers – Automated Information System Marking, Federal Government Information System – Unified State Register Civil Registry Office, and personal accounts of taxpayers. Moreover, the articles presents the results of a survey among owners and top managers of companies, identifying their opinion on the coming taxation reforms. Conclusions and Relevance. Digitalization helped the Federal Tax Service to significantly increase the efficiency of tax audits, while reducing the frequency of tax audits and the number of fly-by-night companies and the likelihood of using informal tax administration schemes. However, authorities should find a balance between the enhancement of the taxation system and their relationship with businesses.

Background: The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion completed research to understand factors that could encourage Americans to follow the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, second edition, released in 2018. This study describes survey research assessing demographic characteristics that might be related to knowledge and awareness of the guidelines. Methods: An online survey of 2050 adult physical activity contemplators assessed knowledge of physical activity, awareness of the guidelines, and knowledge of dosage recommendations. Univariate and bivariate analyses were performed, and demographic differences in knowledge and awareness were analyzed using Pearson chi-square tests and Fisher exact tests. Results: Respondents had medium to high knowledge of physical activity, although knowledge varied significantly by socioeconomic factors. Knowledge of dosage recommendations was very low, with 2% and 3% of respondents correctly identifying recommended moderate- and vigorous-intensity doses, respectively. Only 22% were aware of the guidelines; awareness was greater among those with a higher education or income and those without a disability. Conclusions: These findings guided the development of the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion’s Move Your Way campaign and reinforced the need to raise awareness of the guidelines and promote behavior change among physical activity contemplators—particularly those from lower socioeconomic groups.

Full textAbstract:
Networks are frequently cited as an important knowledge mobilization strategy; however, there is little empirical research that considers how they connect research and practice. Taking a social network perspective, I explore how central office personnel find, understand and share research knowledge within a research brokering network. This mixed methods case study focused on the first two cohorts of school district Mental Health Leaders participating Ontario’s Child and Youth Mental Health program (N=37). Data were collected and analyzed in two phases: 1) the administration of a social network survey to all participants (response rate = 97%), and 2) follow-up interviews with key informants identified by the social network analysis (N=11). The findings indicate that this is a sparse network and the pattern of incoming ties tends to focus on a subset of individuals. When the identified key players (who are sometimes but not always program staff) are removed, network activity is cut by more than half; the removal of the remaining program staff members renders the network virtually non-existent. Research knowledge typically flowed in a single direction as there were few reciprocal ties within the network. Interview data yielded some important insights indicating that participants perceived formal CYMH events as their main access points to research knowledge and that Mental Health Leaders who were identified as prominent sources of research knowledge had pre-existing relationships with CYMH program staff.

Full textAbstract:
Background. In this era of Information Communication Technology, a high-quality working environment is essential to the occupants. Providing quantity rather the quality of work environments is very common in most of the least developed countries, including Tanzania. Existing research asserts that poor indoor environmental quality such as lighting has a detrimental effect on human health, and in case of the office working population, it also affects their work performance. This study aims to analyze the effects of the lighting quality on working efficiency of workers in Tanzania. Methods. Four representative offices from the administration building at Mbeya University of Science and Technology were investigated from June to September 2018. The customized questionnaire survey tool was administered to the randomly selected occupants to survey their perceptions about the quality of lighting in their workplace and its influence on their health and work efficiency. Physical observation and illuminance distribution measurements were also conducted. Results. The statistical analysis indicates that the majority of the occupants are less satisfied with the lighting quality in their working environment, and some respondents reported that it significantly affected their work efficiency and wellbeing. The average desk illuminance and uniformity level were found to be below the recommended values of the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) and the International Commission on lighting (CIE). Conclusion. Despite the suggested improvement measures, this research emphasizes that poorly articulated work environment can adversely affect the productivity and work efficiency of the workers. The workers in such condition are also exposed to occupational diseases. Thus, providing a healthy work environment should be a fundamental right of the workers.

ABSTRACTAn emerging consensus suggests that women are underrepresented in government because of biases in the recruitment process instead of biases at the ballot box. These results, however, are largely for legislative offices, and research suggests that “male” characteristics are generally associated with executive positions like the presidency. At the same time, some research demonstrates social desirability masks gender biases against women who seek the highest office in the land. We use the historic candidacy of Hillary Clinton to examine if she faces hidden biases in either the primaries or the general election. Two different methods for uncovering hidden biases embedded in national surveys demonstrate small hidden biases that are likely electorally inconsequential.

Introduction. Development of methodical base of information hygiene, systematization of data on levels of information loadings and degree of their influence on working conditions of workers is actual.The purpose of the study was to measure and evaluate the levels of information mental load of office workers, to study the patterns of development of adverse functional States in this professional group.Materials and methods. The pilot study included 25 employees of scientific and educational institutions aged 25 to 65 years. Measurement of information mental load of workers was carried out on the basis of a point assessment. Psychodiagnostics of performance of participants of research was carried out by means of a package of standard techniques. Heart rate telemetry was carried out in employees in the conditions of professional activity.Results. The integral indicator of information mental load of the studied professional group was 37.3±7.2 points and was in direct connection with the coefficient of comfort of the workplace (r=0.5, p=0.01). A reliable dependence of the speed of information processing on the length of work experience (r=0.71, p=0.0001) was also established. In the low-stress group, high indices of stress, fatigue, monotony were recorded in the workers, in the senior group — signs of chronic fatigue. The employees during the shift registered an increase in sympathetic activation.Conclusions. The results of the psychophysiological survey of employees indicate the need to regulate the information load, the development and implementation of preventive measures to reduce professional stress.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a comprehensive survey of workplace productivity key performance indicators (KPIs) used in the office context. Academic literature from the past 10 years has been systematically reviewed and contextualized through a series of expert interviews. Design/methodology/approach The authors present a systematic review of the literature to identify KPIs and methods of workplace productivity measurement, complemented by insights semi-structured interviews to inform a framework for a benchmarking tool. In total, 513 papers published since 2007 were considered, of which 98 full-length papers were reviewed, and 20 were found to provide significant insight and are summarized herein. Findings Currently, no consensus exists on a single KPI suitable for measuring workplace productivity in an office environment, although qualitative questionnaires are more widely adopted than quantitative tools. The diversity of KPIs used in published studies indicates that a multidimensional approach would be the most appropriate for knowledge-worker productivity measurement. Expert interviews further highlighted a shift from infrequent, detailed evaluation to frequent, simplified reporting across human resource functions and this context is important for future tool development. Originality/value This paper provides a summary of significant work on workplace productivity measurement and KPI development over the past 10 years. This follows up on the comprehensive review by B. Haynes (2007a), providing an updated perspective on research in this field with additional insights from expert interviews.

Background: The Internet is a widely used resource by patients however, objective data on details such as frequency of usage and specific sites visited is lacking. We surveyed patients from hand surgery practices to describe patient preferences and utilization patterns for online resources. Methods: From October 2015 to June 2016, we enrolled patients presenting to 4 orthopedic hand surgeons at 2 academic institutions. Patients completed a survey, with questions related to their preference for learning about their diagnosis and Internet utilization both before and after the visit. Results: A total of 226 patients were enrolled in the study. Forty-five percent of the patients had done online research prior to the office visit, and 81% preferred to learn about their diagnosis through verbal communication, as opposed to only 8% who listed Web site information. Fifty percent indicated that there was a greater than 50% chance or they would definitely seek additional information on the Internet after the office visit. When asked to choose from a list of Web sites to visit, the most popular Web site was WebMD. Specialty society Web sites (American Society for Surgery of the Hand and American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons) were less popular. Conclusions: This survey-based study found that a majority of patients utilize the Internet both before and after the office visit; however, they often utilize unregulated sites for information. This information can help physicians guide patients to high-quality Web sites for information on their clinical diagnosis and treatment.

The research explains about workplace reform, aimed at improving productivity of General Affairs and Policy Planning department of Seiyo officeby changing management through the user participation workshop at 4th floor of Seiyo city office and on the changes of workplace reform. The purpose of this research is to find the changes that are worker's behaviour and worker’s awareness of workplace through workplace reform. The researchers surveyed changes, worker's behaviour and worker's awareness of workplace using workplace reform at 4th floor of Seiyo office as case study. In workplace reform, in order to create a place where new work style can be practiced, the researchers conducted the user participation workshops with workers a total of 6 times. Through the workshops, concept of work style and plan of renovation were proposed. In addition, the researchers did a survey using two methods which were a set of questionnaire and 3 observationsthat is before the workplace renovation, 3 months after the renovation, and 1 year and 3 months after the renovation. The findings obtained from the questionnaire in the first 3 months after the renovation showed that the opinions of the workers were divided between pros and cons against workplace reform. However, the survey of 1 year and 3 months after the renovation showed that almost all workers are satisfied with the new environment. In addition, the researchers found that a positive correlation exist between participation rate of workshops and the satisfaction level. The findings suggest the worth of workshops for workplace reform. In the Observation Survey, the workers needed to select a place freely where they can work comfortably after the workplace reform. For example, they chose to work in refresh space. In addition, the findings from the survey showed that the floor became livelier when the participation rate increses at that workplace. Additionally, the participants became more conscious of the work style such as features of work style, after workplace renovation; they are able to clearly differentiate between short intermittent works separated by conversation and phone and personal work on concentration.

Introduction: A positive safety culture is considered a pillar of safety in health organizations and the first crucial step for quality health services. In this context, the aim of this study was to set a reference evaluation for the patient safety culture in the primary health sector in Greece, based on health professionals’ perceptions. Methods: We used a cross-sectional survey with a 62% response rate (n = 459), conducted in primary care settings in Greece (February to May 2020). We utilized the “Medical Office Survey on Patient Safety Culture” survey tool from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The study participants were health professionals who interacted with patients from 12 primary care settings in Greece. Results: The most highly ranked domains were: “Teamwork” (82%), “Patient Care Tracking/Follow-up” (80% of positive scores), and “Organizational Learning” (80%); meanwhile, the lowest-ranked ones were: “Leadership Support for Patient Safety” (62%) and “Work Pressure and Pace” (46%). The other domains, such as “Overall Perceptions of Patient Safety and Quality” (77%), “Staff Training“ (70%), “Communication about Error” (70%), “Office Processes and Standardization” (67%), and “Communication Openness” (64%), ranked somewhere in between. Conclusions: A positive safety culture was identified in primary care settings in Greece, although weak areas concerning the safety culture should be addressed in order to improve patient safety.

Summary Objective: To better understand the literature searching preferences of clinical providers we conducted an institution-wide survey assessing the most preferred knowledge searching techniques. Materials and Methods: A survey regarding literature searching preferences was sent to 1862 unique clinical providers throughout Mayo Clinic. The survey consisted of 25 items asking respondents to select which clinical scenarios most often prompt literature searches as well as identify their most preferred knowledge resources. Results: A total of 450 completed surveys were returned and analyzed (24% response rate). 48% of respondents perform literature searches for more than half of their patient interactions with 91% of all searches occurring either before or within 3 hours of the patient interaction. When a search is performed 57% of respondents prefer synthesized information sources as compared to only 13% who prefer original research. 82% of knowledge searches are performed on a workstation or office computer while just 10% occur on a mobile device or at home. Conclusion: Providers in our survey demonstrate a need to answer clinical questions on a regular basis, especially in the diagnosis and therapy domains. Responses suggest that most of these searches occur using synthesized knowledge sources in the patient care setting within a very short time from the patient interaction.
