Learning to manage diabetes using a flash glucose monitoring device at a summer camp: A collective appropriation process
Self-management of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a difficult task that involves different actions and decisions and requires various types of knowledge. Nowadays, it can be done partly autonomously, using a mobile digital device that measures the level of blood glucose. The FreeStyle Libre, launched on the Swiss market in 2016, is one such device. Drawing on Science and Technology Studies and adopting a sociocultural approach to learning, the present …
Techno-social reconfigurations in diabetes (self-) care
This article focuses on the ways in which a flash glucose monitoring system, FreeStyle Libre®, is introduced and used by people living with type 1 diabetes, their relatives and healthcare professionals. It draws on a multi-sited ethnography in a variety of clinical and daily situations, and on interviews with caregivers and people living with diabetes. We explore how the users develop knowledge-in-practice, and consider the use of self-management…

Deriving ICD-10 Codes for Patient Safety Indicators for Large-scale Surveillance Using Administrative Hospital Data
BACKGROUND: Existing administrative data patient safety indicators (PSIs) have been limited by uncertainty around the timing of onset of included diagnoses. OBJECTIVE: We undertook de novo PSI development through a data-driven approach that drew upon "diagnosis timing" information available in some countries' administrative hospital data. RESEARCH DESIGN: Administrative database analysis and modified Delphi rating process. SUBJECTS: All hospitali…

BACKGROUND: Development and implementation of a regional diabetes programme. RESEARCH DESIGN: Qualitative study using focus groups to elicit diabetic patients' and health-care professionals' opinions, followed by content analysis. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Eight…
Disentangling dimension issues of the Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (Pacic) instrument by using published validation models and data from Swiss diabetic patients
The Chronic Care Model (CCM) identifies six key elements susceptible to improve care of patients with chronic diseases. The Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (PACIC) questionnaire allows these patients to assess their care and see whether it is congruent with the CCM. However, validation analyses have delivered heterogeneous results across studies
Experiences and needs of diabetic patients and healthcare professionals: A qualitative study in the canton of Vaud (Switzerland)

The Effect of Nonmedical Factors on Variations in the Performance of Colonoscopy Among Different Health Care Settings
BACKGROUND: Previous published studies have shown significant variations in colonoscopy performance, even when medical factors are taken into account. This study aimed to examine the role of nonmedical factors (ie, embodied in health care system design) as possible contributors to variations in colonoscopy performance. METHODS: Patient data from a multicenter observational study conducted between 2000 and 2002 in 21 centers in 11 western countrie…

BACKGROUND AND PROBLEM STATEMENT: Diabetes constitutes a major burden for communities in terms of morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. The canton of Vaud plans to implement a prevention and chronic disease management program for diabetes. METHODS: Meetings gathering cantonal and academic specialists in prevention and public health, GPs and specialists in diabetology (private practices and hospitals), representatives of para-medical and hosp…
Disease management: A proposal for a new definition
Inventory and perspectives of chronic disease management programs in Switzerland: An exploratory survey
In Switzerland, a country with universal healthcare insurance coverage and little incentive to develop new healthcare strategies, chronic disease management programs are scarce. For future developments, appropriate evaluations of existing programs, involvement of all healthcare stakeholders, strong leadership and political will are, at least, desirable

Medical care of asylum seekers: A descriptive study of the appropriateness of nurse practitioners' care compared to traditional physician-based care in a gatekeeping system
Although the nursing gatekeeping system provides appropriate treatment to asylum seekers, it might be improved with further training in recording medical history and performing targeted clinical examination
Cross-National Comparative Performance of Three Versions of the ICD-10 Charlson Index
OBJECTIVE: The Charlson comorbidity index has been widely used for risk adjustment in outcome studies using administrative health data. Recently, 3 International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) translations have been published for the Charlson comorbidities. This study was conducted to compare the predictive performance of these versions (the Halfon, Sundararajan, and Quan versions) of the ICD-10 coding algorithms …
Validation of the Potentially Avoidable Hospital Readmission Rate as a Routine Indicator of the Quality of Hospital Care
BACKGROUND: The hospital readmission rate has been proposed as an important outcome indicator computable from routine statistics. However, most commonly used measures raise conceptual issues. OBJECTIVES: We sought to evaluate the usefulness of the computerized algorithm for identifying avoidable readmissions on the basis of minimum bias, criterion validity, and measurement precision. RESEARCH DESIGN AND SUBJECTS: A total of 131,809 hospitalizatio…
Coding Algorithms for Defining Comorbidities in ICD-9-CM and ICD-10 Administrative Data
OBJECTIVES: Implementation of the International Statistical Classification of Disease and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision (ICD-10) coding system presents challenges for using administrative data. Recognizing this, we conducted a multistep process to develop ICD-10 coding algorithms to define Charlson and Elixhauser comorbidities in administrative data and assess the performance of the resulting algorithms. METHODS: ICD-10 coding algorithms…
A Randomized Trial of Four Patient Satisfaction Questionnaires
BACKGROUND: Patient satisfaction surveys are increasingly used by hospitals. Many questionnaires are available, but little evidence exists to guide the choice of the most suitable instrument.

Statistical Approaches in the Development of Clinical Practice Guidelines From Expert Panels: The Case of Laminectomy in Sciatica Patients
BACKGROUND: Variation in expert opinion and lack of a systematic methodology hinder the development of reliable clinical practice guidelines. However standardized protocols have been defined to quantify, combine, and summarize expert judgments. In addition, statistical methods may help to outline guidelines based on simplified models of these judgments. METHODS: To test this hypothesis, stepwise logistic regression (SLR) and classification tree p…
Why did Swiss citizens refuse to ban tobacco advertising
A ban on tobacco advertising is one of the major tools to promote tobacco control. Swiss citizens recently refused to modify the Swiss Constitution to ban tobacco advertising. This case study shows how a strong alliance among the tobacco industry, the state, the media, and sports and cultural activities planners made it difficult for people to make an informed decision. The promoters of the ban were unable to provide counter-arguments to the most…
