Advancing Public Health Surveillance in Child Care Centers: Stakeholder-Informed Redesign and User Satisfaction Evaluation of the MCRISP Network

Advancing Public Health Surveillance in Child Care Centers: Stakeholder-Informed Redesign and User Satisfaction Evaluation of the MCRISP Network

Child care centers are important hubs for monitoring respiratory and gastrointestinal illness transmission [1,2]. The Michigan Child Care Related Infection Surveillance Program (MCRISP) is a free website that empowers ~25 regional child care centers to submit illness reports and leverages that data to provide public health illness surveillance locally [3]. MCRISP has demonstrated functionality for sentinel reporting for outbreaks [4,5].

Online Forums as a Tool for Broader Inclusion of Voices on Health Care Communication Experiences and Serious Illness Care: Mixed Methods Study

Online Forums as a Tool for Broader Inclusion of Voices on Health Care Communication Experiences and Serious Illness Care: Mixed Methods Study

This is true for all of health care, and serious illness research is no exception [3-7]. Serious illness communication (SIC) describes conversations that occur between patients with serious illness and clinicians to understand the patient’s goals, values, preferences, and priorities so that health care can be aligned with those priorities [8]. SIC is a type of shared decision-making and part of the broad set of activities known as advance care planning (ACP).

Severity Classification Using Dynamic Time Warping–Based Voice Biomarkers for Patients With COVID-19: Feasibility Cross-Sectional Study

Severity Classification Using Dynamic Time Warping–Based Voice Biomarkers for Patients With COVID-19: Feasibility Cross-Sectional Study

Therefore, they were theoretically patients with mild illness. Still, due to worsening conditions or shortcomings of medical services, this population included patients with moderate illness I who should have been treated in a hospital. Therefore, accurately classifying these 2 adjacent severity categories (mild illness and moderate illness I) is essential in determining appropriate measures, such as early hospitalization, by detecting worsening conditions in patients with mild illness.

Novel Psychosocial Correlates of COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy: Cross-Sectional Survey

Novel Psychosocial Correlates of COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy: Cross-Sectional Survey

Understanding the determinants of COVID-19 vaccine uptake is critical to reducing death and illness from the virus, as well as to inform future vaccine efforts, such as the more recent bivalent (omicron) booster. There is a growing body of literature identifying factors affecting COVID-19 vaccine uptake. However, most studies focus on sociodemographic attributes and political affiliation [2-8].

Using Virtual Emergency Medicine Clinicians as a Health System Entry Point (Virtual First): Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Using Virtual Emergency Medicine Clinicians as a Health System Entry Point (Virtual First): Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Due to significant boarding, wait times, and the acceptance of telemedicine care during COVID-19, we proposed the innovative emergency medicine–led Virtual First (VF) program to leverage the emergency medicine clinicians’ (EMCs) ability to triage patients with acute illness. Currently, there is a paucity of data on using EMCs for virtual acute illness visits.

Understanding Mobile Health and Youth Mental Health: Scoping Review

Understanding Mobile Health and Youth Mental Health: Scoping Review

A total of 75% of people with mental health disorders have an onset of illness between the ages of 12 and 24 years [6]. This is a peak period of development for youths (defined here as ages 12-24 years); it is often the life stage to pursue education or begin a career, to build social relationships, and to explore new interests [7]. Yet, youths experience the worst levels of access to mental health care from poorly designed, grossly underresourced, and typically unfriendly health care services [8].
