Abstract Evidence-based treatment of chronic pain requires a multidisciplinary approach grounded in the biopsychosocial model. Implementing this within health systems relies on its acceptance by both healthcare providers and patients. While pioneering clinics can serve as model for implementation, systematic effort is needed to share knowledge effectively broadly. In current paper we provide an overview translation initiatives undertaken at our Transitional Pain Service (TPS) Toronto General...

Abstract Background Discharging older adult patients from the hospital poses risks due to their vulnerable conditions, complex instructions and limited health literacy. Insufficient information about medication side effects adds patient concerns. To address this, a post-discharge summary system was developed. While it has shown positive impacts, concerns exist regarding implementation fidelity. Objective This study employed theory-driven approach understand providers’ perspectives on...
Older adult patients are particularly vulnerable to medication-related issues during the discharge process. To enhance medication education and patient experience, a written reminder, incorporating crucial side effects warning signs, was implemented in medicine wards. This study aimed examine influence of this reminder on experience medication-taking behaviors among older adults public healthcare settings.
Hospital discharge for older adult patients carries risks. Effective patient-provider communication is crucial postacute care. Technology-based tools are promising in improving patient experience and outcomes. However, there limited evidence comparing provider user experiences on a large-scale basis, hindering the exploration of true shared understanding. This study aimed to evaluate an electronic health record-based tool by examining perspectives. comprised cross-sectional self-administered...
To encourage the appropriate utilization of emergency care, cost-sharing for care was increased from HK$100 (US $12.8) to HK$180 $23.1) per visit in June 2017 all public hospitals Hong Kong. However, there are concerns that this increase could deter department (ED) visits and be associated with income-related disparities.To examine changes ED after fee increase.This retrospective cohort study used administrative data 2015 May 2019 Participants included Kong residents aged 64 years younger,...
