Introduction: The role of imaging in radiotherapy is becoming increasingly important. Verification of imaging parameters prior to treatment planning is essential for safe and effective clinical practice.
Methods: This study described the development and clinical implementation of ImageCompliance, an automated, GUI-based script designed to verify and enforce correct CT and MRI parameters during radiotherapy planning.

Background: Sierra Leone has the world's third highest incidence of maternal mortality, with 443 deaths per 100,000 live births. Strengthening the country's midwifery workforce is essential to providing adequate maternal healthcare and reducing preventable perinatal mortality. In support of this goal, we developed and implemented a midwifery preceptor program (MPP) to train experienced midwives to effectively mentor new and student midwives.

Introduction: Medical physicists play a critical role in ensuring image quality and patient safety, but their routine evaluations are limited in scope and frequency compared to the breadth of clinical imaging practices. An electronic radiologist feedback system can augment medical physics oversight for quality improvement. This work presents a novel quality feedback system integrated into the Epic electronic medical record (EMR) at a university hospital system, designed to facilitate feedback from radiologists to medical physicists and technologist leaders.

Background: Although current evidence supports the effectiveness of social norm feedback (SNF) interventions, their sustained integration into primary care remains limited. Drawing on the elements of the antimicrobial SNF intervention strategy identified through the Delphi-based evidence applicability evaluation, this study aims to explore the barriers and facilitators to its implementation in primary care institutions, thereby informing future optimization.
Methods: Based on the five domains of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), we developed semi-structured interview and focus group discussion guides.

Aging Biomarker Consortium (ABC), Beijing, China.
The global surge in the population of people 60 years and older, including that in China, challenges healthcare systems with rising age-related diseases. To address this demographic change, the Aging Biomarker Consortium (ABC) has launched the X-Age Project to develop a comprehensive aging evaluation system tailored to the Chinese population. Our goal is to identify robust biomarkers and construct composite aging clocks that capture biological age, defined as an individual's physiological and molecular state, across diverse Chinese cohorts.
