Article Abstract
In integrated delivery networks (IDNs) with complex management structures, shared governance in nursing is a proven model for health care delivery. After Advocate Health Care, the largest IDN in Illinois, implemented shared governance in its nursing, clinical, and non-clinical departments and restructured the organization's technology use, it benefited greatly from a new, shared decision-making process. After listening to business consultants, clinical professionals, and information technology experts, hospitals should take the blended, or comprehensive, approach to new projects. They can succeed by promoting communication supported by an integrated computer platform that helps nursing and business executives reach a consensus. Traditional modes of operation, in which individual administrative, clinical, and technology departments separately introduce innovation, do not deliver an advantage. However, models that incorporate open communication, integration, and knowledge sharing will help large IDNs and other complex health care organizations make the best possible use of their resources and investments.

Background: Foreign-born children may face greater barriers to accessing routine immunizations in Canada or their country of birth, but provincial surveillance data on immigration status are lacking. Using our provincial immunization repository linked to administrative data, we assessed immunization coverage among immigrant and refugee children in Ontario, Canada, compared with Ontario-born children and identified factors associated with being up-to-date (UTD).
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of children entering school during the 2012/13-2014/15 school years.

Traumatic injury is the leading cause of death for individuals aged 1-45 in the USA. Variations in patient management based on geographic locations, community resources, and provider characteristics contribute to disparities in patient outcomes. It is estimated that 20,000 Americans lives could be saved yearly if all trauma centers performed as well as the highest-performing center, which is achievable, in part, through the reduction of inappropriate practice variation.

Purpose: The development of home-based clinical interventions and healthcare supported by digital tools has rapidly advanced in recent years, promising improvements in preventive and personalized treatment, especially for aging chronic patients. However, many systems are launched without feedback from healthcare experts, essential for understanding their strengths, limitations, and areas for improvement. This study had two objectives: first, to gather expert opinions on the qualities and limitations of current home-centred healthcare trends for aging patients; second, as a case study, to obtain feedback on a novel system, (TI-Health), integrating these trends.
