Abstract:

Many engineering design problems require reference to standards or codes of practice to ensure that acceptable safety and performance criteria are met. Extracting relevant data from such documents can, however, be a problem for the unfamiliar user. The use of expert systems to guide the retrieval of information from standards and codes of practice is proposed as a means of alleviating this problem. Following a brief introduction to expert system techniques, a tool developed by the authors for building expert system guides to standards and codes of practice is described. The steps involved in encoding the knowledge contained in an arbitrarily chosen standard are illustrated. Finally, a typical consultation illustrates the use of the expert system guide to the standard.

Abstract:

Advancements in hardware and software have propelled machine learning (ML) solutions to become vital components of numerous information systems. This calls for research on the integration and evaluation of ML development practices within software companies. To investigate these issues, we conducted expert interviews with software and ML professionals. We structured the interviews around information systems development (ISD) models, which serve as conceptual frameworks that guide stakeholders throughout software projects. Using practice theory, we analyzed how software professionals perceive ML development within the context of ISD models and identified themes that characterize the transformative impact of ML development on these conceptual models. Our findings show that developer-driven conceptual models, such as DevOps and MLOps, have been embraced as common frameworks for developers and management to understand and guide the ML development processes. We observed ongoing shifts in predefined developer roles, wherein developers are increasingly adopting ML techniques and tools in their professional work. Overall, our findings underscore that ML technologies are becoming increasingly prominent in software projects across industries, and that the incorporation of ML development in ISD models is an ongoing, largely practice-driven, process.

Abstract:

The sometimes-paradoxical emergent behavior of complex systems may be explained by the interaction of simple rules. The paradox of primary care—that systems based on primary care have healthier populations, fewer health inequities, lower health care expenditures, and better system-level evidence-based disease care, despite less evidence-based care for individual diseases—may be explained by the iterative interaction among three simple rules that describe the generalist approach: (1) Recognize a broad range of problems/opportunities; (2) Prioritize attention and action with the intent of promoting health, healing, and connection; and (3) Personalize care based on the particulars of the individual or family in their local context. These are complemented by three simple rules for specialist care that represent current approaches to quality and health care system improvement: (1) Identify and classify disease for management; (2) Interpret through specialized knowledge; (3) Generate and carry out a management plan. Health care systems that support the enactment of the simple rules of the generalist approach are likely to have more effective primary and specialty care, and greater population health, equity, quality, and sustainable cost.

Abstract:

COVID-19 supportive quarantine care in the community is managed by primary care practices. There is no current guidance on how a primary care practice with high volumes of patients screened for COVID-19 can re-configure itself to become responsive to the pandemic. We examined Learning Health System guidance from the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine and adapted it to our primary care practice to create an efficient, effective, adaptive response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We suggest evaluating this response in the future for effectiveness and efficiency.

Abstract:

Abstract This paper aims to illustrate an automated system developed to give formative and personalized feedback to teachers in training. It is an expert system (Paviotti, Rossi & Zarka, 2012) that uses concrete examples, cases and scenarios to guide the engaged learners (Leake, 1996). In this regard, this system is able to create questionnaires, deliver them, collect and analyze data, send feedback to the participants to provide information about their beliefs and behaviors about teaching and learning processes. Far from constituting an assessment of teaching practices, the automated feedback demonstrates its usefulness in identifying teachers’ mindframes at an early stage, so as to be able to implement more specific and personalized training. This allows its application to be extended to further training areas as well as constituting an effective approach for need analysis and a preparatory action for numerous training activities (guided discussion with experts, observation on practice, modeling, etc.).

Abstract:

Abstract Systems-based practice (SBP) was introduced as 1 of 6 core competencies in 1999 because of its recognized importance in the quality and safety of health care provided to patients. Nearly 25 years later, faculty and learners continue to struggle with understanding and implementing this essential competency, thus hindering the medical education community’s ability to most effectively teach and learn this important competency. Milestones were first introduced in 2013 as one effort to support implementation of the general competencies. However, each specialty developed its milestones independently, leading to substantial heterogeneity in the narrative descriptions of competencies including SBP. The process to create Milestones 2.0, and more specifically, the Harmonized Milestones, took this experience into account and endeavored to create a shared language for SBP across all specialties and subspecialties. The 3 subcompetencies in SBP are now patient safety and quality improvement, systems navigation for patient-centered care (coordination of care, transitions of care, local population health), and physician’s role in health care systems (components of the system, costs and resources, transitions to practice). Milestones 2.0 are also now supported by new supplemental guides that provide specific real-world examples to help learners and faculty put SBP into the context of the complex health care environment. While substantially more resources and tools are now available to aid faculty and to serve as a guide for residents and fellows, much work to effectively implement SBP remains. This commentary will explore the evolutionary history of SBP, the challenges facing implementation, and suggestions for how programs can use the new milestone resources for SBP. The academic medicine community must work together to advance this competency as an essential part of professional development.

Abstract:

Blood flow through the cardiovascular system is governed by the same physical rules that govern the flow of water through domestic plumbing. Using this analogy in a teaching laboratory, a model of the cardiovascular system constructed of pumps and pipes was used to demonstrate the basic interactions of pressure, flow, and resistance in a regulated system, with student volunteers providing the operational actions and regulatory components. The model was used to validate predictions and explore solutions prompted by student discussion. This interactive teaching laboratory provides an engaging experiential exercise that demonstrates regulation of flow and pressure in an intact cardiovascular system with apposite changes in heart rate and resistance. In addition, the system provides strong clinical correlates and illustrates how that regulated system responds to challenges such as heart failure, inappropriate vasodilation, and hemorrhage. The results demonstrate that, with limited practice, the instructor can effectively guide the students to reliably reproduce physiologically appropriate results.

Full text

Abstract:

There is no published health-system-wide framework to guide antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) in general practice. The aim of this scoping review was to identify the component parts necessary to inform a framework to guide AMS in general practice. Six databases and nine websites were searched. The sixteen papers included were those that reported on AMS in general practice in a country where antibiotics were available by prescription from a registered provider. Six multidimensional components were identified: 1. Governance, including a national action plan with accountability, prescriber accreditation, and practice level policies. 2. Education of general practitioners (GPs) and the public about AMS and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). 3. Consultation support, including decision support with patient information resources and prescribing guidelines. 4. Pharmacist and nurse involvement. 5. Monitoring of antibiotic prescribing and AMR with feedback to GPs. 6. Research into gaps in AMS and AMR evidence with translation into practice. This framework for AMS in general practice identifies health-system-wide components to support GPs to improve the quality of antibiotic prescribing. It may assist in the development and evaluation of AMS interventions in general practice. It also provides a guide to components for inclusion in reports on AMS interventions.

Full text

Abstract:

The internal fixation of proximal femoral (hip) fractures is the most frequently performed orthopaedic surgery procedure. When using a sliding compression hip screw, a commonly used fixation device, accurate positioning of the device within the femoral neck-head is achieved by initially drilling a pilot hole. A cannulated component of the hip screw is then inserted over the guide wire (surgical drill bit), which is used to drill the pilot hole. However, in practice, this fluoroscopically controlled drilling process is severely complicated by a depth perception problem and, as such, a surgeon can require several attempts to achieve a satisfactory guide wire placement. A prototype robotic-assisted orthopaedic surgery system has therefore been developed, with a view to achieving accurate right-first-time guide wire insertions. This paper describes the non-invasive digital X-ray photogrammetry-based registration technique which supports the proposed robotic-assisted drilling scenario. Results from preliminary laboratory (in vitro) trials employing this registration technique indicate that the cumulative error associated with the entire X-ray guided robotic system is within acceptable limits for the guide wire insertion process.

Abstract:

The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) has endorsed the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) as a framework to be integrated into physical therapist practice. The ICF is a universal and inclusive platform for the understanding of health and disability and a comprehensive classification system for describing functioning. The APTA's Guide to Physical Therapist Practice was designed to guide patient management, given the different settings and health conditions that physical therapists encounter in their daily clinical practice. However, physical therapists may be unclear as to how to concretely apply the ICF in their clinical practice and to translate the application in a way that is meaningful to them and to their patients. This perspective article proposes ways to integrate the ICF and the Guide to Physical Therapist Practice to facilitate clinical documentation by physical therapists.

Abstract:

Forensic photography has become an important tool in the medicolegal system, so as to it give a complete picture for investigating crime scenes. It is the easiest and effectual way to capture the crime scene, in a way what could’ve happened that even the most illustrative and descriptive words could not do. However, appropriate selection and implementation of the proper photography and computer equipment combined with effective training and correct workflow patterns is required for incorporating photography into the field of forensic practice with proper documentation. This paper highlights basic aspects to gain clear and focused photographs both in living individuals and Medicolegal Postmortem examination. The paper contains the propositions for a draft protocol for Forensic Photography in Crime Scene Examination, Medicolegal examination, postmortem examination and examination of exhibits. The authors aim to make a guiding document by virtue of their experience so as to guide the young Forensic Medicine experts/ Forensic Scientists.

Abstract:

As an instructional tool, models can transform the student experience from the static to the dynamic, the flat to the 3D, and the siloed to the integrated. Few practical resources exist to help instructors transition toward model-based classroom practices. The Modeling in the Classroom evidence-based teaching guide provides instructors with a tool kit for incorporating models and modeling into their classrooms ( https://lse.ascb.org/evidence-based-teaching-guides/modeling-in-the-classroom ). The guide discusses the underpinnings of modeling as a core scientific practice, one that can enable student development of systems thinking skills and understanding of biological concepts. The guide describes a variety of model types, including phylogenetic trees, simulations, animations, diagrams, conceptual models, concept maps, and tactile models supported by summaries of and links to articles and resources. In this paper, we will introduce key findings describing why and how to use models in the classroom. We also describe open research questions needed to address classroom implementation, instructional design, and development of students’ knowledge and skills. It is our hope that the guide will provide a suitable combination of research-based findings and practical suggestions that instructors will be supported and encouraged to thoughtfully incorporate modeling to support learning goals.

Abstract:

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infectious pneumonia pandemic highlights the importance of emergency management of public health emergencies (EMPHE). This paper addresses the challenge of building a knowledge system for EMPHE research that may contribute to understand the spatial and temporal characteristics of knowledge distribution, research status, cutting-edge research and development trends, and helps to identify promising research topics and guide research and practice of EMPHE. Based on the Web of Science, this paper retrieves 1467 articles about EMPHE published from 2010 to date. Then, based on high-frequency keywords, we use CiteSpace to analyze their knowledge co-occurrence network, clustering network and knowledge evolution. Furthermore, we summarize the features and gaps in EMPHE research, providing references for future research directions. Based on the above analysis, this work constructs a knowledge system about EMPHE research, providing a comprehensive visual summary of the existing research in the field of EMPHE, with the aim to guide future research and practice.

Abstract:

ObjectiveWith ageing of the Australian population, more people are living longer and experiencing chronic or complex health conditions. The challenge is to have information that supports the integration of services across the continuum of settings and providers, to deliver person-centred, seamless, efficient and effective healthcare. However, in Australia, data are typically siloed within health settings, precluding a comprehensive view of patient journeys. Here, we describe the establishment of the Lumos programme—the first statewide linked data asset across primary care and other settings in Australia and evaluate its representativeness to the census population.Methods and analysisRecords extracted from general practices throughout New South Wales (NSW), Australia’s most populous state, were linked to patient records from acute and other settings. Innovative privacy and security technologies were employed to facilitate ongoing and regular updates. The marginal demographic distributions of the Lumos cohort were compared with the NSW census population by calculating multiple measures of representation to evaluate its generalisability.ResultsThe first Lumos programme data extraction linked 1.3 million patients’ general practice records to other NSW health system data. This represented 16% of the NSW population. The demographic distribution of patients in Lumos was >95% aligned to that of the NSW population in the calculated measures of representativeness.ConclusionThe Lumos programme delivers an enduring, regularly updated data resource, providing unique insights about statewide, cross-setting healthcare utilisation. General practice patients represented in the Lumos data asset are representative of the NSW population overall. Lumos data can reliably be used to identify at-risk regions and groups, to guide the planning and design of health services and to monitor their impact throughout NSW.

Abstract:

This study compares mathematics student-teachers' professional ability system and instructional practices. Content, pedagogical, technical, classroom management, and reflective practice were examined as part of their professional ability system. Modeling, guided practice, co-teaching, differentiation, technology integration, formative assessment, and collaborative learning were also assessed. The study also examined if student-teachers' professional ability system affects their math teaching practices. Content knowledge and effective teaching practices, especially modeling and guided practice, are strongly correlated. Teaching tactics and pedagogical knowledge are strongly correlated, underscoring their value in guided practice and collaborative learning. Although technological skill has a moderate association, it is essential for using digital tools in mathematics instruction. Collaboration in teaching is highly linked to classroom management skills. Modeling, guided practice, and formative assessment are strongly correlated with pedagogical content knowledge. Reflective practice is linked to all teaching styles, demonstrating its importance in improving mathematics education and permitting varied teaching methods. Modeling is linked to content, pedagogical, and reflective practice in teaching methodologies. Guided practice correlates well with content, pedagogical, and reflective practice. Classroom management and pedagogical content knowledge are closely related to co-teaching. Differentiation tactics strongly correlate with reflective practice and technical competency. Classroom management and reflective practice are strongly correlated with technology integration. The association between formative evaluation and reflective practice and differentiation is substantial. Reflective practice and differentiation are strongly linked in collaborative learning environments. For effective mathematics instruction, a full professional ability system must include topic knowledge, pedagogical understanding, technical competence, classroom management skills, and reflective practice. These components enable varied teaching methodologies, improving mathematical education. These components together shape effective mathematics instruction, as shown by the substantial correlations.

College counselors shoulder the responsibility of teaching and educating people, teaching students to deal with people, training students to endure hardships, experience students' perseverance, shape noble moral sentiments, guide them to establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life and values, and promote students' all-round development. Lead students to learn new ideas, new thoughts and new strategies, guide students to practice core socialist values, and help students strengthen their confidence in the path, theory, system and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Counselors should grasp students' ideological dynamics, behavioral conditions, public opinion management and supervision, and guide students to deal with specific problems in ideological understanding, career planning, value orientation, study and life, career selection and friends. This paper takes Guangzhou Huashang Vocational College as an example to explore the effective way to realize the relevant construction.

Abstract:

This study aimed to design a three-dimensional (3D) guide plate using computer-aided design and a 3D printing system for precise implantation of microimplants for orthodontic treatment and investigate the accuracy and feasibility of a 3D guide plate in clinical practice. A total of 30 microimplants were placed in 15 patients in the Department of Stomatology, Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University. Before surgery, DICOM data from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans and STereoLithography data from the 3D model scan were imported to 3Shape Dental System. Data fitting and matching were performed, and 3D guide plates were designed primarily focusing on the thickness of guide plates, amount of concave compensation, and dimensions of the ring. Assist implantation method was used to place the microimplants, and postoperative CBCT images were used to evaluate the position and implantation angle. The feasibility of placing microimplants and precise implantation guided by the 3D guide plate. CBCT data before and after the placement of microimplants were compared. Regarding the secure positioning of microimplants based on CBCT data, 26 implants were categorized as Grade i, four as Grade ii, and none as Grade iii. No loosening of microimplants 1 and 3 months after surgery was reported. The implantation of microimplants is more accurate under the guidance of a 3D guide plate. This technology can achieve accurate implant positioning, thus ensuring safety, stability, and improved success rates after implantation.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Research in Action is an on-demand, interactive curriculum designed to increase the ability of clinicians to advance the Academic Learning Health System (aLHS). The 7-module course provides clinicians with the knowledge and skills to lead rigorous quality improvement (QI) projects, translating research evidence into practice. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We engaged nurses, physicians, and advanced practice providers (APPs) working in the health system to participate in focus group and advise us in the creation of the curriculum. We conducted focus groups with these stakeholders on the proposed learning objectives, course content, and mode of delivery (in person, virtual, hybrid). Informed by the focus groups, the course was designed for hybrid format so participants could either (1) access the modules on-demand, or (2) learners could participate in a facilitator moderated course where the modules served as the curriculum to guide development of a QI project. The Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice was the framework for curriculum development. Upon completion of the modules, stakeholders reviewed each module and provided feedback for improvement. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Research in Action is a 7-module course, with modules addressing the following topics: (1) Introduction to Quality Improvement, (2) Identify the Problem and Write a Purpose Statement, (3) Form a Team, (4) Appraise and Synthesize the Literature, (5) Design and Pilot the Project, (6) Integrate and Sustain Practice Change, (7) Disseminate the Results. The curriculum is being piloted with multiple clinician groups in the health system. In the next phase of development, a facilitator guide will be created to guide a cohort of clinicians to apply knowledge through discussion sessions and completion of a QI project in the healthcare setting. We anticipate scaling the program for spread to diverse clinician groups in the health system. Pre- and post-implementation data are being collected from current pilot sites. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The aLHS is an essential means for improving healthcare delivery. Research in Action, a hybrid training curriculum, engages frontline clinicians in creating and leading QI projects that implement research evidence into practice to solve problems commonly encountered in the healthcare setting; thus, supporting the advancement of the aLHS.

Abstract:

A roundabout can improve intersection capacity in some extent by reducing conflict points and traffic delays. However, the complex environment in a large roundabout does not provide essential directional information to motorists. Therefore, drivers must spend more time identifying the exit they want, which may influence the intersection capacity and safety. Using perceptual constancy, a new guide sign system for roundabouts was developed to improve sense of direction. In order to observe how the guide sign system would affect drivers’ sense of direction, a series of driving simulator experiments were conducted to evaluate driving performance. The test results revealed that the guide sign system can effectively improve the accuracy of exit identification and reduce travel time driving through a roundabout despite the gender and age differences among drivers. This paper proposes a continuous and gradual guide sign system for roundabouts that can be used to help improve drivers’ sense of direction, which is beneficial to improve the safety and efficiency of roundabout operations. These findings are indicative of the future development of traffic sign design and practice in a roundabout.

Abstract:

Aim: Teachers' knowledge of feedback systems encompasses their understanding of the purpose and types of feedback, as well as their knowledge of how to design and implement effective feedback processes. The practice of feedback systems refers to the extent to which they implement feedback processes in the classroom. This includes the frequency and quality of feedback provided to students, as well as the use of feedback to guide instructional decisions. Assessing teachers' knowledge and practice of feedback systems in junior high schools is important because effective feedback practices are essential for promoting student learning and academic achievement. This study aimed to assess mathematics and science teachers' Knowledge and Practice of feedback systems in junior high schools in Hohoe, Ghana. Methods: A survey research design was used to collect data from 104 mathematics and science teachers using a self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient were used to analyze the data. Results: The results showed that the mean Knowledge score of mathematics and science teachers was 3.12, indicating a majority agreement level of knowledge of feedback system. The mean practice score was 2.12, indicating a majority disagreement level of practice of feedback system in the classroom. There was no significant difference in knowledge and practice scores between male and female teachers. However, an inverse correlation was found between knowledge and practice scores, indicating that teachers with higher knowledge of feedback systems may not necessarily be effective at implementing those systems in practice. Conclusion: It was observed that majority of the participants do not practice feedback in their teaching. Recommendations: There is need for professional development programs and policies that support effective feedback practices in the classroom. Further research is needed to identify the contextual factors that influence teachers' feedback practices and their understanding of feedback purposes in Ghana.

Abstract:

The ability to perform professional scrutiny is a required component of autonomous practice, and the ability to use science to guide care delivery is a hallmark of professional practice. The cardiovascular intensive care unit staff initiated a forum for peer review to encourage the use of the best available evidence to guide system and practice changes. A focus group was formed, resulting in development and implementation of a specific process for regular cycles of nursing mortality and morbidity (M & M) conferences, a journal club, and interdisciplinary educational sessions in staff meetings. After performing several cycles, the team observed interdisciplinary practice changes that improved patient care delivery. Thus, cycles of nursing M & M conferences, a journal club, and educational sessions can help support patient safety, enhance professional autonomy, and foster evidence-based interdisciplinary practice in the cardiovascular intensive care setting.

Medical ethics is important for every medical practitioner. A doctor should acquire sound knowledge on medical ethics which is very much important in clinical practice. Medical ethics is a system of moral principles that apply values and judgments to the practice of medicine. Medical ethics derive from numerous sources. Physicians face ethical dilemmas more frequently as community relies on physicians for critical services. Ethics are a useful element for solving these dilemmas. Medical ethics based on four basic principles: autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence and justice. Physicians are expected to have higher standards than the law. The code of medical ethics provides a guide line in the context of doctor patient relationship and the society. JCMCTA 2016 ; 27 (2) : 9 - 11

Abstract:

Exposure to patients and clinical diagnoses drives learning in graduate medical education (GME). However, variation exists in the breadth of experiences. Measuring such variation would provide practice data to inform residents’ understanding of the breadth of their patient experiences. We have developed an automated system to identify resident provider-patient interactions (rPPIs) and demonstrated accurate attribution at a single institution. The objective of this study was to understand the landscape of trainee planned learning, and iteratively design a tool to be used for this goal. To achieve these objectives at two institutions new to the AMA “Advancing Change” initiative, we used a mixed-methods approach to develop and evaluate a “mid-point report” of patients encounters. Qualitative outcomes include a guided exploration of usefulness, usability, and intent to use, as well as understanding the resources trainees would use for learning and how our system may deliver these resources. Quantitative outcomes from a summative usability test of the midpoint report will include time on task, task completion rate, and proportion of trainees who perceive the report to be useful to identify gaps in clinical experiences and guide learning.

Abstract:

ObjectivesTo determine whether antibiotics are prescribed appropriately for acute tonsillitis in an emergency department (ED).MethodsCross-sectional observational study in large district general hospital in London. Patients diagnosed and coded with ‘acute tonsillitis’ in the ED over a 3-month period in 2015. Medical records were reviewed for Centor criteria, which is a clinical scoring system to guide antibiotic prescribing in UK general practice. Drug charts were reviewed for the specific antibiotic(s) prescribed, and throat swab (TS) cultures were recorded.Results273/389 patients with tonsillitis were analysed—186 children, 87 adults. Exclusions were missing patient records (86), patients had/awaiting tonsillectomy (22), receiving antibiotics (6) and immunocompromised (2). Centor score (CS) was not recorded for any patient. Based on derived CS from documented signs/symptoms, antibiotics were prescribed inappropriately to 196/273 patients (80%; 95% CI 74% to 85%) including broad-spectrum antibiotics to 25%. These included co-amoxiclav (18%), amoxicillin (6%), azithromycin (0.5%) and ceftriaxone (0.5%). TSs were taken in 66/273(24%) patients; 10/66 were positive for group A streptococcus (GAS). However, 48/56 GAS negative patients were prescribed antibiotics.ConclusionsCS was not being used in the ED to guide antibiotic prescribing for acute tonsillitis. Antibiotic prescribing was based on clinical judgement. Based on derived CS (<3), 80% of patients were inappropriately prescribed antibiotics, particularly broad-spectrum antibiotics. Further studies need to assess use of CS to guide antibiotic prescription in ED. TSs were commonly performed in the ED but did not either improve diagnosis or guide antibiotic prescription.

Abstract:

Evidence-based nursing care is informed by research findings, clinical expertise, and patients’ values, and its use can improve patients’ outcomes. Use of research evidence in clinical practice is an expected standard of practice for nurses and health care organizations, but numerous barriers exist that create a gap between new knowledge and implementation of that knowledge to improve patient care. To help close that gap, the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses has developed many resources for clinicians, including practice alerts and a hierarchal rating system for levels of evidence. Using the levels of evidence, nurses can determine the strength of research studies, assess the findings, and evaluate the evidence for potential implementation into best practice. Evidence-based nursing care is a lifelong approach to clinical decision making and excellence in practice.

Abstract:

Implementation of electronic evidence into the practice environments of clinical staff is an ongoing challenge in health care organizations. Despite localized efforts to integrate point-of-care technology with clinical practice, system-wide transformation across multiple clinical settings has not commonly occurred. This paper examines a framework designed to guide the implementation of evidence-based practice using technology in health care settings from the theoretical lens of the Socio-Technical Systems (STS) approach. The framework under study is called the CPM Framework™, developed by the Clinical Practice Model Resource Center (CPMRC). The CPMRC is a collaborative consortium of health care providers representing over 300 rural, community, and university settings. The CPMRC developed the Clinical Practice Model (CPM) Framework™ to guide the integration of evidence based CPG’s into the work worlds of clinicians. The authors propose that the CPM Framework is consistent with STS approach concepts, and can serve as an exemplar for other health care organizations seeking to implement technology in a manner that is consistent with established theoretical foundations.

Full text

Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in multiple changes in the delivery of general practice services. In response to the threat of the pandemic and in order to keep their businesses safe and viable, general practices have rapidly moved to new models of care, embraced Medicare-funded telehealth and responded to uncertain availability of personal protective equipment with innovation. These changes have shown the adaptability of general practice, helped keep patients and practice staff safe, and undoubtedly reduced community transmission and mortality. The pandemic, and the response to it, has emphasised the potential dangers of existing fragmentation within the Australian health system, and is affecting the viability of general practice. These impacts on primary care highlight the need for improved integration of health services, should inform future pandemic planning, and guide the development of Australia’s long-term national health plan.

Abstract:

Previous research has established the value of regarding cities as complex systems, and as systems which will evolve over time. The research reported in this paper concerns the development of an approach to urban design and management which recognises the complexities of change resulting from design-led urban interventions. The research commenced with a study of urban design and urban management processes, and the manner in which they have been studied in an academic context. The system aims to guide the processes of urban design so that it can be implemented within a cyclical process of evaluation and application. The system aids communication across design teams and improves clarity within the design process for the designers themselves. The specific system also aspires to interconnect theory with practice, while supporting designers to be inclusive and holistic. The paper describes a case study where the framework was applied within an academic setting, related to real urban environments in Singapore. It validates the model’s ability to guide students through the design process, give depth to their analysis of urban systems and meaning to their designs. Action research was implemented, to reflect the need for a “practice-changing practice” methodology, that supports a greater understanding of the relationship between theory and practice.

Abstract:

Improving cancer outcomes for Indigenous people by providing culturally safe, patient-centred care is a critical challenge for health services worldwide. This article explores how three Australian cancer services perform when compared to two national best practice guidelines: the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cancer Framework (Cancer Framework) and the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) User Guide for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health (User Guide). The services were identified through a nationwide project undertaken to identify cancer services providing treatment to Indigenous cancer patients. A small number of services which were identified as particularly focused on providing culturally safe cancer care participated in case studies. Interviews were conducted with 35 hospital staff (Indigenous and non-Indigenous) and 8 Indigenous people affected by cancer from the three services. The interviews were analysed and scored using a traffic light system according to the seven priorities of the Cancer Framework and the six actions of the NSQHS User Guide. While two services performed well against the User Guide, all three struggled with the upstream elements of the Cancer Framework, suggesting that the treatment-focused Optimal Care Pathway for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People with Cancer (Cancer Pathway) may be a more appropriate framework for tertiary services. This article highlights the importance of a whole-of-organisation approach when addressing and embedding the six actions of the User Guide. Health services which have successfully implemented the User Guide are in a stronger position to implement the Cancer Framework and Cancer Pathway.

Abstract:

The most convenient and efficient way to travel for the visually impaired is still with a guide dog. At present, my country's legislation on the accessibility of guide dogs in public places is small in number, low in level, and unclear in legal responsibilities. There is still a gap between legislation and practice. In terms of safeguarding measures to enhance the accessibility of guide dogs to public places, we should first improve legislation, improve the qualification certification and marking system for guide dogs, and clarify the participants in disputes and their rights and obligations; second, we should strengthen judicial and supervision in the process of law enforcement, and promote the improvement of special procedures for the disabled and the community legal aid system. Once again, law enforcement should be improved, and cases should be handled flexibly; finally, the popularization of guide dogs should be strengthened for the society, and online information should be established online.
