HIV viral suppression and retention in care are critically important outcomes requiring successful continuous patient engagement. However, barriers to such engagement are complex and require innovative solutions.
• Teamwork in Rural Emergency Health Care: A Simulation-Based Cross-over Study of Co-located and Distributed Teams
  CONCLUSIONS: The higher rating of the performance of co-located teams underscores the challenges facing distributed teams. Given that distributed healthcare teams are a reality in rural areas in northern Sweden, education and training must be adapted to address these challenges. This adaptation is crucial for ensuring high-quality patient care by distributed teams.
• Best Practices in Telecritical Care: Expert Consensus Recommendations From the Telecritical Care Collaborative Network
  CONCLUSIONS: These expert consensus recommendations cover a broad range of topics relevant to delivery of TCC. Experts agreed that TCC is most effective when delivered by care teams with specific expertise and by programs with explicit protocols focusing on effective communication, technical reliability, and real-time availability. Interventions should be tailored to local conditions. Although further […]
• Veteran Preferences and Willingness to Share Patient-Generated Health Data
  CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that healthcare team members can influence patient sharing of PGHD, as can a patient's knowledge that PGHD will be used in clinical practice. Efforts to increase the number of patients who share PGHD with a healthcare system may benefit from buy-in among healthcare team members, who appear to play an influential […]
• VISIT STROKE: non-inferiority of telemedicine-based neurological consultation for post-acute stroke patients - protocol of a prospective observational controlled multi-center study
  BACKGROUND: Telemedicine provides specialized medical expertise in underserved areas where neurological expertise is frequently not available on a daily basis for hospitalized stroke patients. While tele-consultations are well established in acute stroke assessment, the value of telemedicine-based ward-rounds in the subsequent in-patient stroke management is unknown.
