Findings from stakeholder focus groups, study team review, topical expert review, and a theater test suggested that there were critical adaptations needed in both content and context at the patient and clinic level.

Health and justice officials should consider the need to tailor and adapt evidence-based approaches for real-world locations that high-risk, justice-involved individuals visit in order to reduce barriers and increase access to critically needed treatment for OUD.

Patients taking GAHT may have disease risks that differ from what is expected based on their sex assigned at birth or affirmed gender identity. PF-06873600 clinical trial We discuss two patient cases, one transgender man and one transgender woman who present for routine medical care, to review several conditions that may be impacted by the hormones utilized in masculinizing and feminizing GAHT and for which screening recommendations are available for TGD adults cardiovascular risk factors, osteoporosis, breast cancer, cervical cancer, and prostate cancer. We reviewed the TGD-specific screening recommendations from several major medical organizations and programs and found them to be largely based upon expert opinion due to a lack of evidence. The goal of this narrative review is to assist healthcare professionals in counseling and screening their TGD patients when and where appropriate. Not all TGD adults have the ability or need to receive routine medical care from a specialized TGD health clinic; therefore, it is essential for all healthcare professionals involved in routine and gender-affirming care to have knowledge about these conditions and screenings.

Trauma of hospitalization is characterized by patient-reported disturbances in sleep, mobility, nutrition, and/or mood and one study suggested it was associated with more 30-day readmissions.

To define the trauma of hospitalization in medical inpatients and determine whether higher rates of disturbance correlate with adverse post-discharge outcomes.

A prospective cohort study was conducted between June 2018 and August 2019 with patients reporting disturbances in sleep, mobility, nutrition, and/or mood. High trauma of hospitalization was defined as disturbance in 3 or 4 domains.

General medicine inpatients at an academic hospital in Edmonton, Canada.

7-day, 30-day, and 90-day rates of death, unplanned hospital readmission, or emergency department (ED) visit.

Of 299 patients (mean age 65.9 years, 47.8% female, mean Charlson score 3.6, and mean length of stay 8.2 days), 260 (87.0%) reported disturbance in at least one domain (most commonly nutrition or mobility) during their hospitalization, 179 (59.s but were not associated with post-discharge outcomes.

Most adult patients are willing to discuss advance care planning before the onset of any illness. There might be differences in preferences for timing when it comes to initiating advance care planning discussions by healthcare providers with patients.

To identify healthcare providers' willingness to initiate advance care planning discussions in Japan.

A mixed-methods questionnaire comprising three case scenarios based on three different illness trajectories.

The study participants were physicians and nurses employed in four community hospitals in Japan.

Percentages of physicians' and nurses' willingness to initiate advance care planning discussions at four stages of patients' illness trajectory were quantitatively determined, and perceptions on preferred timing were qualitatively identified.

From 108 physician and 123 nurse respondents (response rate 99%), 291 physician and 362 nurse responses about three case scenarios were obtained. Overall, 51.2% of physicians and 65.5% of nurses (p < 0.001) accepted discussion before illness. Less than one-third of physicians considered advance care planning a "wise precaution," while about two-thirds of nurses did. Additionally, more than half of both physicians and nurses preferred to postpone advance care planning until the patient's imminent death.

Physicians are less willing than nurses to begin advance care planning discussions before patients' health has deteriorated though most prefer to wait until the patients are close to death. Healthcare providers' attitudes toward advance care planning will need to be addressed to improve rates of completion in Japan.

There is an ongoing need for interventions to improve quality of end-of-life care for patients in inpatient settings.

To compare two methods for implementing a Comfort Care Education Intervention for Palliative Care Consultation Teams (PCCT) in Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMCs).

Cluster randomized implementation trial conducted March 2015-April 2019. PCCTs were assigned to a traditional implementation approach using a teleconference or to an in-person, train-the-champion workshop to prepare PCCTs to be clinical champions at their home sites.

One hundred thirty-two providers from PCCTs at 47 VAMCs.

Both training modalities involved review of educational materials, instruction on using an electronic Comfort Care Order Set, and coaching to deliver the intervention to other providers.

Several processes of care were identified a priori as quality endpoints for end-of-life care (last 7 days) and abstracted from medical records of veterans who died within 9 months before or after implementation (n = 6,491).
