Article Abstract
Effective communication and collaboration among healthcare professionals are crucial for delivering high-quality patient care. Interdepartmental miscommunication poses a significant challenge to healthcare systems, potentially undermining the quality of healthcare services provided. In the same manner, communication barriers between referring physicians and radiologists can specifically affect radiology services and patient outcomes. This article attempts to put the spotlight on the ever-present chronic challenges of this issue and prompt readers to recognize the relevant potential pitfalls in their daily clinical practice. Practical solutions are explored and proposed, which should be tailored to the specific needs and issues that each individual institution may face.

Background: The specialization of emergency medical services (EMS) in the areas of cardiac and neurological disorders, accidents, and toxicology has emerged as a recent challenge. The provision of these specialized services enhances patient care quality and outcomes. This study was conducted with the aim of examining the opinions and insights of experts, technicians, and policymakers involved in these services.

Accurate preferred language data is a prerequisite for providing high-quality care. We investigated the accuracy of preferred language data in the electronic health record (EHR) of a large community hospital network in Toronto, Canada. We conducted a point-prevalence audit of patients admitted to intensive care, internal medicine, and nephrology services at three hospitals.

Craniofacial rehabilitation demands a multidisciplinary approach where prosthodontists play a pivotal yet often underutilized role in the continuum of care. Traditionally, prosthetic rehabilitation is considered a postsurgical step, leading to delays in functional restoration and compromised outcomes. This editorial emphasizes the need to redefine prosthodontics as an integral component of craniofacial surgical planning, from the operating room to the dental chair.

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.

A thorough understanding of oncological disease status is crucial for managing critically ill patients with cancer. The cancer trajectory predisposes patients to the type of critical illness they could develop and shapes the likelihood of reversibility and the chance for meaningful recovery, including continuation of therapy. This review outlines how disease status-whether new diagnosis, remission, stable disease, or progression-directly impacts differential diagnosis and treatment goals in the intensive care unit (ICU).
