Women of low socioeconomic status (SES) diagnosed with early stage breast cancer experience decision-making, treatment and outcome disparities. Evidence suggests that decision aids can benefit underserved patients, when tailored to their needs. Our aim was to develop and test the usability, acceptability and accessibility of a pictorial encounter decision aid targeted at women of low SES diagnosed with early stage breast cancer.
Current Practice Of Neonatal Resuscitation Documentation In North America: A Multi-Center Retrospective Chart Review, Matthew S. Braga, Prakash Kabbur, Pradeep Alur, Michael H. Goodstein
Current Practice Of Neonatal Resuscitation Documentation In North America: A Multi-Center Retrospective Chart Review, Matthew S. Braga, Prakash Kabbur, Pradeep Alur, Michael H. Goodstein

To determine the comprehensiveness of neonatal resuscitation documentation and to determine the association of various patient, provider and institutional factors with completeness of neonatal documentation. Multi-center retrospective chart review of a sequential sample of very low birth weight infants born in 2013. The description of resuscitation in each infant’s record was evaluated for the presence of 29 Resuscitation Data Items and assigned a Number of items documented per record. Covariates associated with this Assessment were identified.
Dual Use Of Va And Non-Va Hospitals By Veterans With Multiple Hospitalizations, Alan N. West, Mary E. Charlton, Mary Vaughan-Sarrazin
Dual Use Of Va And Non-Va Hospitals By Veterans With Multiple Hospitalizations, Alan N. West, Mary E. Charlton, Mary Vaughan-Sarrazin
Dartmouth Scholarship
Background: Veterans who are hospitalized in both VA and non-VA hospitals within a short timespan may be at risk for fragmented or conflicting care. To determine the characteristics of these “dual users,” we analyzed administrative hospital discharge data for VA-enrolled veterans of any age in seven states, including any VA or non-VA hospitalizations they had in 2004 – 2007. Method: For VA enrollees in Arizona, Iowa, Louisiana, Florida, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, or New York in 2007, we merged 2004 – 2007 discharge data for all VA hospitalizations and all non-VA hospitalizations listed in state health department or hospital association databases. …
Selection Of Depression Measures For Use Among Vietnamese Populations In Primary Care Settings: A Scoping Review, Jill Murphy, Elliot M. Goldner, Charles H. Goldsmith, Pham Thi Oanh, William Zhu, Kitty Corbett, Vu Cong Nguyen

Depression is an important and growing contributor to the burden of disease around the world and evidence suggests the experience of depression varies cross-culturally. Efforts to improve the integration of services for depression in primary care are increasing globally, meaning that culturally valid measures that are acceptable for use in primary care settings are needed. We conducted a scoping review of 27 studies that validated or used 10 measures of depression in Vietnamese populations. We reviewed the validity of the instruments as reported in the studies and qualitatively assessed cultural validity and acceptability for use in primary care. We found …
Implementing Shared Decision-Making: Consider All The Consequences, Glyn Elwyn, Dominick L. Frosch, Sarah Kobrin
Implementing Shared Decision-Making: Consider All The Consequences, Glyn Elwyn, Dominick L. Frosch, Sarah Kobrin
Dartmouth Scholarship
The ethical argument that shared decision-making is “the right” thing to do, however laudable, is unlikely to change how healthcare is organized, just as evidence alone will be an insufficient factor: practice change is governed by factors such as cost, profit margin, quality, and efficiency. It is helpful, therefore, when evaluating new approaches such as shared decision-making to conceptualize potential consequences in a way that is broad, long-term, and as relevant as possible to multiple stakeholders. Yet, so far, evaluation metrics for shared decision-making have been mostly focused on short-term outcomes, such as cognitive or affective consequences in patients. The …
Patients Recording Clinical Encounters: A Path To Empowerment? Assessment By Mixed Methods, Glyn Elwyn, Paul James Barr, Stuart W. Grande
Patients Recording Clinical Encounters: A Path To Empowerment? Assessment By Mixed Methods, Glyn Elwyn, Paul James Barr, Stuart W. Grande
Dartmouth Scholarship
Objective: To examine the motivations of patients recording clinical encounters, covertly or otherwise, and why some do not wish to record encounters. Design: Mixed-methods analysis of survey data and nested semistructured interviews. Setting: Survey to UK audience, using social media and radio broadcast. Participants: 168 survey respondents, of whom 161 were 18 years of age or older (130 completions). Of the 56 participants who agreed to be contacted, we included data from 17 interviews.

Developing Integrate: A Fast And Frugal Patient-Reported Measure Of Integration In Health Care Delivery, Glyn Elwyn, Rachel Thompson, Roshen John, Stuart W. Grande
Dartmouth Scholarship
Efforts have been made to measure integration in health care delivery, but few existing instruments have adopted a patient perspective, and none is sufficiently generic and brief for administration at scale. We sought to develop a brief and generic patient-reported measure of integration in health care delivery. Drawing on both existing conceptualisations of integrated care and research on patients’ perspectives, we chose to focus on four distinct domains of integration: information sharing, consistent advice, mutual respect and role clarity. We formulated candidate items and conducted cognitive interviews with end users to further develop and refine the items. …

Although global efforts to support routine immunization (RI) system strengthening have resulted in higher immunization rates, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the proportion of children receiving recommended DPT3 vaccines has stagnated at 80% for the past 3 years (WHO Fact sheet-Immunization coverage 2014, WHO, 2014). Meeting the WHO goal of 90% national DPT3 coverage may require locally based strategies to support conventional approaches. The Africa Routine Immunization Systems Essentials-System Innovation (ARISE-SI) initiative is a proof-of-concept study to assess the application of the Microsystems Quality Improvement Approach for generating local solutions to strengthen RI systems and reach those unreached …
Measuring Organisational Readiness For Patient Engagement (More): An International Online Delphi Consensus Study, Linda J. M. Oostendorp, Marie-Anne Durand, Amy Lloyd, Glyn Elwyn
Measuring Organisational Readiness For Patient Engagement (More): An International Online Delphi Consensus Study, Linda J. M. Oostendorp, Marie-Anne Durand, Amy Lloyd, Glyn Elwyn
Dartmouth Scholarship
Widespread implementation of patient engagement by organisations and clinical teams is not a reality yet. The aim of this study is to develop a measure of organisational readiness for patient engagement designed to monitor and facilitate a healthcare organisation’s willingness and ability to effectively implement patient engagement in healthcare. The development of the MORE (Measuring Organisational Readiness for patient Engagement) scale was guided by Weiner’s theory of organisational readiness for change. Weiner postulates that an organisation’s readiness is determined by both the willingness and ability to implement the change (i.e. in this context: patient engagement). A first version of the …

Background: We have no clear overview of the extent to which health-care providers involve patients in the decision-making process during consultations. The Observing Patient Involvement in Decision Making instrument (OPTION) was designed to assess this. Objective: To systematically review studies that used the OPTION instrument to observe the extent to which health-care providers involve patients in decision making across a range of clinical contexts, including different health professions and lengths of consultation. We conducted online literature searches in multiple databases (2001-12) and gathered further data through networking.
