Virtual physician triage
Background: The Virtual MD program was established in 2022 to enhance the appropriateness of nurse teletriage and divert low-acuity patients from the emergency department (ED). The program proved valuable during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic as an alternate source of access, followed by continued use and expanding uptake in the year following. This study investigates the impact of the Virtual MD program on near-term emergency department visit…
Enhancing Care Transitions in Alberta
Introduction: Transitions between hospitals and primary care pose challenges, leading to increased mortality, morbidity, and high costs due to information loss. To improve patient safety during transitions, the World Health Organization emphasizes standardized discharge planning, better documentation, and enhanced Clinical Information Systems (CIS). Together, Alberta's newly implemented CIS “Connect Care” (CC) and the Primary Health Care Integrat…
Development of Data Quality Indicators for Improving Hospital International Classification of Diseases–Coded Health Data Quality Globally
BACKGROUND: Hospital inpatient data, coded using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), is widely used to monitor diseases, allocate resources and funding, and evaluate patient outcomes. As such, hospital data quality should be measured before use; however, currently, there is no standard and international approach to assess ICD-coded data quality. OBJECTIVE: To develop a standardized method for assessing hospital ICD-coded data qual…
Long-term evidence for ecological intensification as a pathway to sustainable agriculture
Ecological intensification (EI) could help return agriculture into a ‘safe operating space’ for humanity. Using a novel application of meta-analysis to data from 30 long-term experiments from Europe and Africa (comprising 25,565 yield records), we investigated how field-scale EI practices interact with each other, and with N fertilizer and tillage, in their effects on long-term crop yields. Here we confirmed that EI practices (specifically, incre…
Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on Primary Health Care Utilization in Alberta
The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 2.913 (2021 JCR, received in June 2022)The IJIC 20th Anniversary Issue was published in 2021
Integrating Care from Home to Hospital to Home
The extensive design process used to create the Guideline was instrumental in establishing content, encouraging system integration, and creating conditions to support provincial implementation. While intended to improve and standardize patient care in Alberta, the methods used and lessons learned throughout the development of the Guideline are applicable internationally
