Newest firstBackgroundThe administrative burden of clinical documentation is a recognised contributor to clinician burnout and diminished care quality. Ambient artificial intelligence (AI) scribe technology, which uses large language models to passively record and summarise clinical encounters, has rapidly gained traction internationally. However, no published studies have examined clinician experiences with this technology i…
Open article record in new tab ↗Structured AbstractO_ST_ABSIntroductionC_ST_ABSCervical cancer screening is difficult to initiate and sustain during war due to disrupted health services, population displacement and limited clinical capacity. Evidence on whether human papillomavirus (HPV)-based screening using self-sampling can function as a screening pathway during armed conflict is unknown. This study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability an…
BackgroundHIV-related stigma among healthcare providers hinders service delivery and patient engagement, especially in low- and middle-income countries. The Intervensi Penghapusan Stigma dan Diskriminasi (IPSD) intervention employs a Community-Based Participatory Approach (CBPA) to reduce stigma among healthcare workers (HCWs) in Indonesia by involving people with HIV (PWH) and key populations (KP) as co-developer…
BackgroundDespite comprising over 70% of the global healthcare workforce, women remain significantly underrepresented in healthcare leadership. Structural and systemic barriers persist across academic medicine, health services, and professional organisations, limiting career progression and leadership opportunities for women. Existing efforts often focus on individual-level interventions, overlooking the broader o…
Hospitals are increasingly adopting artificial intelligence (AI) tools in clinical care. However, their overall impact on the health of older adults remains unclear. We assessed whether county-level hospital AI implementation was associated with elder mortality and care quality using national data from the American Hospital Association (AHA), Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and CDC WONDER. Higher A…
Open article record in new tab ↗ImportanceLearning Health Systems (LHS) have proven efficacy in catalysing healthcare improvement, but adoption and scale-up in complex healthcare systems remains challenging, with limited implementation guidance. ObjectiveTo measure alignment with LHS principles and guide LHS implementation, we aimed to codesign, refine and apply an LHS Maturity Matrix (LHS-MM) based on the Monash LHS framework. DesignIn this mix…
Background Adolescents with chronic medical conditions (CMC) use alcohol and marijuana at levels equal to or even greater than their peers without CMC and are more likely to initiate substance use at 14 years or younger. Approximately 33% of adolescents with CMC binge drink alcohol and 20% use marijuana. When using substances, adolescents with CMC are at elevated risk for problem use and adverse consequences given…
IntroductionThere is a need to reflect on the COVID-19 vaccine distribution across Canada and the extent to which they considered equity-deserving populations. This paper examined and compared strategies implemented by six Canadian provinces to increase access and promote the uptake of COVID-19 vaccines among selected priority populations. We also explored the factors that impacted the implementation of these stra…
Open article record in new tab ↗IntroductionInequitable uptake of routine and COVID-19 vaccinations has been documented among intersectionally marginalised populations, including migrants, and attributed to issues of mistrust, access, and low vaccine confidence. Novel approaches which seek to share power, build trust and co-design tailored interventions with marginalised or underserved communities must be explored, to promote equitable engagemen…
Affordable novel strategies are needed to treat COVID-19 cases complicated by respiratory compromise in resource limited settings. We report a mixed-methods pre-post assessment of 1) the useability of CPAP/O2 helmet non-invasive ventilation (NIV) to treat COVID-19, at [~] 1% the cost of mechanical ventilation; 2) the effectiveness of a train-the-trainer practice facilitation intervention; and 3) whether use of CPA…
Open article record in new tab ↗ObjectivesHIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective biomedical intervention for HIV prevention and is key to HIV transmission elimination. However, implementation is challenging. We identified barriers and facilitators to PrEP awareness and access during the roll out of Scotlands national PrEP programme to develop recommendations for future provision. DesignMulti-perspectival qualitative approach i…
IntroductionPretreatment loss to follow-up (PTLFU)--dropout of patients after diagnosis but before registration in treatment--is a major gap in TB care delivery in India and globally. Patient and healthcare worker (HCW) perspectives are critical for developing interventions to address this problem. MethodsWe prospectively tracked newly diagnosed smear-positive TB patients from 22 TB diagnostic centers in Chennai,…
