IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 5814: Effects of a Primary Care-Based Intervention on the Identification and Management of Patients with Coronary Heart Disease and Mental or Cognitive Comorbidity & mdash;A Study Protocol
We present the protocol for a pilot study that aims to develop a minimally invasive intervention and evaluate its feasibility in the primary care setting to improve the identification and management of comorbid MCD in patients with CHD. The study consists of two consecutive parts and will be carried out in Cologne, Germany. Part 1 comprises the development and tailoring of the intervention, which is guided by qualitative interviews with primary care physicians (PCPs, n = 10), patients with CHD and MCD and patient representatives (n = 10). Part II focuses on the implementation and evaluation of the intervention in n = 10 PC...

Becoming a Well-being Advocate
By now, burnout and its related toll on clinicians nationwide are recognized as a pressing crisis. While burnout among U.S. health care practitioners isn’t new, the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated pre-existing issues and added novel stressors. A recent study showed that burnout, work overload, and COVID-19–associated stressors resulted in one in five physicians and two in five nurses intending to leave their current practice within the next two years.1 In addition to the ample negative impacts on individuals, burnout is a monumental staffing challenge hospital medicine groups must face. Read Pierce, MD, chief of the div...

Real world implementation of treat-to-target in patients with ibd in a learning health system: an ibd qorus collaborative study
A treat-to-target (TTT) strategy of aiming for symptomatic and endoscopic remission is recommended for the management of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Yet, real-world uptake of TTT strategies has been modest. We sought to assess the feasibility of implementing TTT and improve its uptake in the Crohn ’s and Colitis Foundation’s IBD Qorus learning health system (LHS). (Source: Gastroenterology)
