Article Abstract

Purpose: To systematically characterize and assess the effectiveness of multidisciplinary care for patients with persistent post-concussion symptoms (PPCS).

Materials And Methods: Only studies describing multidisciplinary treatment, defined as intervention provided by no less than 2 healthcare disciplines, each with independent scopes of practice, for patients with PPCS were considered.

Results: A total of 8 of the 1357 studies identified were included. The studies were comprised of heterogenous patient populations, care delivery systems, healthcare providers, treatment approaches, and outcomes.

Conclusions: Findings suggest multidisciplinary care, using a needs-based approach with individual- or group-based interventions, may be more beneficial than usual care to; 1) immediately reduce concussion-related symptom complaints and improve mood and quality of life in adolescents following sports-related concussion (SRC) and, 2) may produce immediate and lasting improvements in symptom complaints of young, primarily female, adults following a non-SRC. Future studies should clearly describe the decision-making processes used to deliver care through a needs-based approach and prioritize the inclusion of objective, performance-based measures to assess outcomes.

Background: In Canada, the Indigenous population is the youngest and fastest growing, yet ongoing health disparities for Indigenous peoples are widely recognized. There is a concerning lack of research on childhood disabilities and health conditions in Indigenous populations in Canada. For children with disabilities and chronic health conditions, ongoing access to rehabilitation services, such as occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech-language pathology, and audiology, is critical in promoting positive health and developmental outcomes.

Background: Electronic health records (EHRs) are a cornerstone of modern health care delivery, but their current configuration often fragments information across systems, impeding timely and effective clinical decision-making. In gynecological oncology, where care involves complex, multidisciplinary coordination, these limitations can significantly impact the quality and efficiency of patient management. Few studies have examined how EHR systems support clinical decision-making from the perspective of end users.

Background: Craniosynostosis repair is traditionally performed at high-volume academic centers with multidisciplinary teams. Access barriers in rural or suburban regions raise the question of whether comparable outcomes can be achieved and if this surgery can be performed safely in community settings.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and perioperative outcomes of cranial vault reconstruction for craniosynostosis performed at a community-based children's hospital and compare these outcomes to those reported at academic institutions.

The aim of the paper is to reflect on the importance of the teacher of the medical profession in graduate and postgraduate education. The objective of the analysis was a narrative reflection on the profession of a teacher of medical professionals based on the principles of medical education and specialization programs applicable in Poland. The core curriculum for teaching in the field of medicine was analysed in detail, including also the insufficiently developed principles of selection and education of academic and vocational teachers.
