Background: Given the rising demand for emergency department (ED) services and coupled with the scarcity of specialty care availability, there is an urgency to design a system for appropriate, effective, and timely ED-to-specialty ambulatory referrals. Efficient care transitions are important to patient outcomes and experience and require cross-specialty cooperation, as care transitions affect practices and resources of individuals, departments, and institutions.
Objective: Here, our objective was to (1) describe a collaboration between Stanford's Emergency Medicine and Neurology and Neurological Sciences departments aimed at designing and implementing an optimized discharge process and transition of care from ED to ambulatory neurology for follow-up care and (2) the resulting intervention from the collaboration.

Background: A novel Patient Navigator Program (PNP) was introduced at a Canadian hospital's Reactivation Care Centre (RCC) to support transitions by helping older adults navigate the complexities of delayed discharge stays by improving their transition from hospital to home. The PNP was comprised of a community agency patient navigator who was embedded into the RCC setting to support transitions in care, and who followed patients up to 90 days post-hospital discharge. The purpose of this study was to describe the PNP, which included detailing the needs of patients (i.

Municipal wastewaters pose a severe risk to the environment and human health when discharged untreated. This is due to their high content of pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria, which can cause diseases like cholera. Herein, the research and development of porphyrin-modified polyethersulfone (PES) ultrafiltration (UF) membranes was conducted to improve bacterial inactivation in complex municipal wastewater and enhance the fouling resistance and filtration performance.

Background: Hospital pharmacists and doctors should collaborate to prepare discharge medicine handover information and pharmacists and nurses in providing discharge medicine counselling. This pilot trial evaluated a multifaceted intervention that included training hospital doctors to record medicine changes, patient risk stratification, and collaborative doctor and pharmacist discharge medicine reconciliation to improve information handover.
Methods: A pilot study was undertaken at two hospitals in Queensland, Australia.

Background: Drug overdose deaths have been drastically rising in the past decade. Healthcare providers need to continuously innovate practices to provide historically underserved patients with access to harm reduction. The purpose of this study is to identify previously implemented take-home naloxone (THN) interventions to review outcomes and implementation strategies across different organizations in the United States.
