The Safety of Telerehabilitation: Systematic Review

The Safety of Telerehabilitation: Systematic Review

Assessing the safety of telerehabilitation is important for guiding decisions made by patients, providers, and funders. For patients, a clearer understanding of its safety can offer reassurance and encourage broader adoption of telerehabilitation [12]. Providers rely on safety data to tailor treatments to individual conditions and refine protocols to minimize adverse events [13]. Funders rely on this information to justify coverage decisions and guide the allocation of resources and financial support [14].

Understanding Barriers to Home Safety Assessment Adoption in Older Adults: Qualitative Human-Centered Design Study

Understanding Barriers to Home Safety Assessment Adoption in Older Adults: Qualitative Human-Centered Design Study

This study aimed to (1) identify specific barriers perceived by community-dwelling older adults in accessing and implementing home safety assessments and modifications, (2) explore attitudes of health care professionals and additional stakeholders toward home safety assessments, and (3) identify novel design opportunities to guide the development and implementation of more effective home safety assessment techniques and practices.

Feasibility of a 12-Week, Therapist-Independent, Smartphone-Based Biofeedback Treatment for Episodic Migraine in Adults: Single-Center, Open-Label, 1-Armed Trial

Feasibility of a 12-Week, Therapist-Independent, Smartphone-Based Biofeedback Treatment for Episodic Migraine in Adults: Single-Center, Open-Label, 1-Armed Trial

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, usability, and safety of 12 weeks of daily use of a home-based biofeedback system as a preventative in adults with episodic migraine. The findings of the study are intended to lead to refinements in the feasibility and usability of Cerebri (version 0.1.0; Nordic Brain Tech AS) and guide study design choices for a future randomized controlled trial. The study was a single-center, open-label, one-armed interventional trial conducted at St.

Pharmaceutical Analysis of Inpatient Prescriptions: Systematic Observation of Hospital Pharmacists’ Practices in the Early User-Centered Design Phase

Pharmaceutical Analysis of Inpatient Prescriptions: Systematic Observation of Hospital Pharmacists’ Practices in the Early User-Centered Design Phase

The pharmacy department is responsible for the entire hospital’s health care product circuit, and the pharmacist’s activity is essential to patient safety and the reduction of health care expenditure [13]. Several studies have demonstrated the value of pharmacist-oriented CDSSs for patient management [10-12]. Of course, in health care, the patient’s well-being is the main concern.

Impact of Tai Chi Therapy on Fatigue and Cognitive Function in Individuals With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Protocol for a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Impact of Tai Chi Therapy on Fatigue and Cognitive Function in Individuals With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Protocol for a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

However, the impact of Tai Chi on cognitive functions in CFS has not yet been clinically validated, and its efficacy and safety have not been assessed in large-scale randomized controlled trials. Regular Tai Chi practice is beneficial for relieving fatigue and improving cognition in CFS, and it is more effective than general aerobic exercise.

Improving Safety, Efficiency, Cost, and Satisfaction Across a Musculoskeletal Pathway Using the Digital Assessment Routing Tool for Triage: Quality Improvement Study

Improving Safety, Efficiency, Cost, and Satisfaction Across a Musculoskeletal Pathway Using the Digital Assessment Routing Tool for Triage: Quality Improvement Study

“Getting It Right First Time” by stratifying patients to the correct level of intervention at the first point of contact is considered key in ensuring patient safety and improving outcomes of MSK conditions and efficiency across the MSK pathway, with early identification of patients requiring urgent medical review considered a priority [5,6]. For this reason, patient safety was the primary measure for our study.

Online Information About Side Effects and Safety Concerns of Semaglutide: Mixed Methods Study of YouTube Videos

Online Information About Side Effects and Safety Concerns of Semaglutide: Mixed Methods Study of YouTube Videos

The use of semaglutide, particularly the famous Ozempic, by nonsevere overweight individuals might pose safety issues [24]. Off-label drug use is legal and common, though it means a drug is being used for an unapproved indication or population, at an unapproved dosage, or via an unapproved route of administration [24,25]. Off-label users may have a higher safety risk if they obtain semaglutide via online vendors or beauty spas without a proper medical consultation [26].

Extended Reality (XR) in Pediatric Acute and Chronic Pain: Systematic Review and Evidence Gap Map

Extended Reality (XR) in Pediatric Acute and Chronic Pain: Systematic Review and Evidence Gap Map

Therefore, the purpose of this systematic review was to describe the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of XR for pediatric acute and chronic pain. Moreover, this review collated current research to establish an evidence and gap map for guiding future research efforts. Finally, given the variability in XR study treatment outcomes, this review also assessed the measurement tools that have been used to measure outcomes in XR research.

The Dynamics of Doctor-Patient Communication During Remote Consultations: Qualitative Study Among Norwegian Contract General Practitioners

The Dynamics of Doctor-Patient Communication During Remote Consultations: Qualitative Study Among Norwegian Contract General Practitioners

Although being of beneficial use in relation to clear reasons for contact, their safety hinges on patients’ ability to articulate their complaints. Strategic preservation of continuity of care emerges as crucial in mitigating the identified challenges. A central finding in our study is that the observed changes in communication during remote consultations are not primarily associated with specific reasons for contact.
