The International Classification of Health Interventions, currently being developed, seeks to span all sectors of the health system. Our objective was to test the draft classification’s coverage of interventions commonly delivered by nurses, and propose changes to improve the utility and reliability of the classification for aggregating and analyzing data on nursing interventions.

Many point-of-care laboratory tests are manually entered into the electronic health record by ambulatory clinic staff, but the rate of manual transcription error for this testing is poorly characterized. Using a dataset arising from a duplicated workflow that created a set of paired interfaced and manually entered point-of-care glucose measurements, we found that 260 of 6930 (3.7%) manual entries were discrepant from their interfaced result.

Medication reconciliation (MedRec) can improve patient safety by resolving medication discrepancies. Because information technology (IT) and patient engagement are promising approaches to optimizing MedRec, the SEAMPAT project aims to develop a MedRec IT platform based on two applications: the “patient app” and the “MedRec app.” This study evaluates three dimensions of the usability (efficiency, satisfaction, and effectiveness) and usefulness of the patient app.

Unintentional medication discrepancies contribute to preventable adverse drug events in patients. Patient engagement in medication safety beyond verbal participation in medication reconciliation is limited. We conducted a pilot study to determine whether patients’ use of an electronic home medication review tool could improve medication safety during hospitalization.

Retinoblastoma is an intraocular cancer of infancy and childhood, which has been treated with radia‑ tion therapy and chemotherapy. Radiation on growing patients can cause deterioration in maxillofacial growth and development that leads to severe skeletal discrepancies between the maxilla and mandible, and dental problems such as crossbite, openbite, and hypodontia.

The results show a large discrepancy in relative output factor curves found among different collimation systems of the same equivalent field sizes and between the CoPs. Therefore, the specific beam modelling in treatment planning system for each type of the collimation system to be used for small fields maybe required for better computational accuracy.

Over the last decades numerous initiatives have been set up that aim at translating the best available medical knowledge and treatment into clinical practice. The inherent complexity of the programs and discrepancies in the terminology used make it difficult to appreciate each of them distinctly and compare their specific strengths and weaknesses.

To reduce the likelihood that variability, in appraisal scor- ing between researchers, did not exclude valid material for synthesis, 42% (43/103) of all reports categorized as ‘Mid’ were re-appraised for inter-rater reliability. A purposive approach was used to capture potential sources of variabil- ity. Therefore, selection of excluded reports for re-appraisal ensured that different types of interventions (i.e. popula- tion-based, experimental, school-based, etc.

The complete or partial works included in this volume were scanned, transcribed, or typed from the originals, from copies of the originals, or from translations. In our search for classics in public health, we found that some works were reprinted several times, had updated versions of the originals or new editions with introductions or commentary, and appeared in different formats in a variety of places. We also found that some works were translated by different individuals, leading to discrepancies in the editions.

From the Preface to the Third Edition, by Russell K. Hobbie: Between 1971 and 1973 I audited all the courses medical students take in their first two years at the University of Minnesota. I was amazed at the amount of physics I found in these courses and how little of it is discussed in the general physics course. I found a great discrepancy between the physics in some papers in the biological research literature and what I knew to be the level of understanding of most biology majors or premed students who have taken a year of physics....

Radiographic cephalometry has been one of the most important diagnostic tools in orthodontics, since its introduction in the early 1930s by Broadbent in the United States and Hofrath in Germany. Generations of orthodontists have relied on the interpretation of these images for their diagnosis and treatment planning as well as for the long-term follow-up of growth and treatment results. Also in the planning for surgical orthodontic corrections of jaw discrepancies, lateral and antero-posterior cephalograms have been valuable tools.
