The development and adoption of a learning health system (LHS) has been proposed as means to address key challenges facing current future care systems. first review the LHS literature was conducted 5 years ago, identifying only small number published papers that had empirically examined implementation or testing an LHS. It is timely look more closely at empirical research ask question, Where are we now? on from early review.This study performed scoping within domain. Taking "implementation...
Abstract Health systems must solve two climate-related problems simultaneously: mitigate their greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to additional patient loads associated with climate-induced demands for care from weather sequalae vector-borne diseases. We aimed benchmark the mitigation adaptive efforts of OECD member countries compared health system performance. used Multidimensional Scaling Hierarchical Cluster Analysis group all 38 as at January 2024. Clusters were defined according gases...
In this exploratory study, we tracked free-range laying hens on two commercial flocks with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology the aim to examine individual hen variation in range use. Three distinct outdoor zones were identified at increasing distances from shed; veranda [0-2.4 m], close [2.4-11.4 and far [>11.4 m]. Hens' movements between these areas using radio frequency identification technology. Most of both (68.6% Flock A, 82.2% B) accessed every day during study. Of that...
Abstract Climate change, human health, and healthcare systems are inextricably linked. As the climate warms due to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, extreme weather events, such as floods, fires, heatwaves, will drive up demand for healthcare. Delivering also contributes accounting ∼5% of global carbon emissions. To rein in healthcare’s footprint, clinicians health policy makers must be able measure GHG contributions clinical practices. Herein, we scope potential informatics solutions monitor...
Abstract Aposematism involves predators learning conspicuous signals of defended prey. However, prey species utilize a wide range chemical (or physical) defenses, which are not likely to be equally aversive all predators. may therefore only effective against physiologically sensitive subset potential predators, and this can identified through behavioral testing. We studied the emerging model organism T ectocoris diophthalmus ( H eteroptera: S cutelleridae), an aposematically colored but...
Laying hens housed in free-range systems have access to an outdoor range, and individual within a flock differ their ranging behaviour. Whether there is link between laying hen welfare remains unclear. We analysed the relationships by on commercial layer farm behavioural, physiological health measures of animal welfare. hypothesised that range more will be (1) less fearful general response novelty humans, (2) better terms physical body condition (3) reduced stress behavioural tests fear...
Abstract The outdoor range in free-range, egg-production systems contains features that aim to promote the performance of natural behaviours. It is unclear what laying hens prefer and how these influence hen behaviour. We hypothesised would demonstrate a preference for environment which their ancestor evolved, such as relatively dense vegetation, within behavioural time budget will differ between distinct environments. Characteristics one free-range commercial egg farm were mapped four...
Preventative healthcare is crucial for improving individual patient outcomes and integral to sustainable health systems. The effectiveness of prevention programs enhanced by activated populations who are capable managing their own proactive keep themselves well. However, little known about the level activation among people drawn from general populations. We used Patient Activation Measure (PAM) address this knowledge gap.
Abstract Background Keeping best practice guidelines up-to-date with rapidly emerging research evidence is challenging. ‘Living guidelines’ approaches enable continual incorporation of new research, assisting healthcare professionals to apply the latest their clinical practice. However, information about how living are developed, maintained and applied limited. The Stroke Foundation in Australia was one first organisations guideline development methods for Living Guidelines (LSGs),...
Many social birds produce food-associated calls. In galliforms, these vocalizations are typically accompanied by a distinctive visual display, creating multimodal signal known as tidbitting. This system is ideal for experimental analysis of the way in which components interact to determine overall efficacy. We used high-definition video playback explore perception male tidbitting female fowl, Gallus gallus. Hens experienced four treatments consisting tidbitting, without sound, audible...
