Article Abstract

Learning health systems (LHSs) are designed to systematically integrate external evidence of effective practices with internal data and experience to put knowledge into practice as a part of a culture of continuous learning and improvement. Researchers embedded in health systems are an essential component of LHSs, with defined competencies. However, many of these competencies are not generated by traditional graduate/post-graduate training programs; evaluation of new LHS training programs has been limited. This commentary reviews and extends results of an evaluation of early career outcomes of fellows in one such program designed to generate impact-oriented career pathways embedded in healthcare systems. Discussion considers the need for increasingly rigorous evaluation methods to ensure production of high-quality professionals ready for system engagement, the importance of training and preparing other LHS stakeholders as effective partners and evidence users, and the promise and challenges in advancing the science and practice of embedded research in LHSs.

Introduction: This review evaluates the safety protocols for acupuncture, emphasizing the need for stringent measures due to the procedure's invasive nature.

Discussion: It discusses the necessity of global safety standards, including mandatory accreditation and licensing for practitioners to mitigate risks such as needle contamination and improper technique. The study advocates for extensive training and continuous education programs to ensure practitioners master both theoretical and practical aspects of acupuncture.

Influenza viruses can be aerosolized when slaughtering infected chickens, which increases the risk of zoonotic transmission. We conducted pilot experiments to measure the concentrations of airborne particles <2.5 μm during slaughtering and defeathering of chickens to help identify methods that can minimize workers' exposure to potentially hazardous aerosol particles.

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of an optimized online adaptive radiation therapy workflow on physician involvement.

Methods And Materials: Data from a prospective phase 2 trial involving 34 prostate cancer patients treated with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)-based online adaptive radiation therapy (62 Gy in 20 fractions) were analyzed. Manual interventions were required for 2 steps in the workflow: radiation therapy technologist review and adjustment of automatically segmented organs, guiding target segmentation, so-called "influencer," while physicians reviewed and refined the targets.
