Article Abstract
India contributes to the largest pool of the global neonatal and under-five mortalities. The current healthcare delivery services have a scope for improvement in terms of the quality of care at the point of delivery. In this era of resource constraints across the low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), quality improvement techniques can be a game changer to positively address the common bottlenecks of health service delivery and increase community participation. Globally, networks of quality of care and collaboratives have demonstrated significant impact in improving processes of care and the quality of services delivered to the end user. The Nationwide quality of care network (NQOCN) is a self-sustaining network of quality improvement teams, which have cohesively led the spread and adoption of simple quality improvement strategies across the Indian subcontinent. The current perspective apprises the reader about NQOCN, its relevance and impact in current times.

Background: Optimal oral care is essential in preventing non-ventilator hospital-associated pneumonia and enhancing patient comfort. However, nurses' clinical oral care practices for patients not on mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit are both underreported and understudied.
Aim: To explore intensive care nurses' clinical oral care practices for patients not on mechanical ventilation in intensive care units.
Coordinating the Medical Division of Labour: The Travails of Electronic Patient Records in the United Kingdom and United States.

This paper explores the interrelations between medical specialisation, the changing division of medical labour and the technologies that have emerged to coordinate and integrate patient care. Drawing on the examples of the United Kingdom and the United States, countries whose health systems provide important points of commonality and distinction, I explore the intersections between the rise of medical specialisation and the creation of new medical and paramedical roles. These roles have often emerged as a palliative to the increasing fragmentation and atomisation of medical labour, to 'assist' overburdened clinicians and provide better coordinated and integrated patient care.

Objectives: Acute pyelonephritis (APN) is a common diagnosis among patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED). It is treated by empiric antibiotics within the ED. With a rise in antimicrobial resistance globally, it is unknown whether patients are being managed with empiric antibiotics that are appropriate for the causative organisms of APN.

Emerg Med Australas
October 2025
Australian Centre for Health Services Innovation, School of Public Health & Social Work, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Reliably defining the risk of adverse in-flight events in aeromedical trauma patients could enable more informed pre-departure treatment and guide central asset allocation to achieve better system-level outcomes. Unfortunately, the current literature base specifically examining the in-flight period is sparse. Flight duration is often considered a proxy for the risk of in-flight deterioration; however, there is limited data to support this commonly held assumption.
