Introduction A few cancelled surgeries are due to surgical equipment issues representing a significant burden to both patients and National Health Service (NHS) hospitals on waiting lists. Despite this, there remain very few strategies designed to tackle these avoidable cancellations, especially in combination with digitisation. Our aim was to demonstrate improved efficiency through a pilot study in collaboration with Broomfield Hospital (Broomfield, United Kingdom), MediShout Ltd (London, United Kingdom), and B. Braun Medical Ltd (Sheffield, United Kingdom) with the digitalisation of the equipment repair pathway. Methods MediShout digitised two distinct repair pathways: ad-hoc repairs and maintenance equipment services (MES). Pre- and post-digitisation outcome measures were collected including the number of process steps, staff contribution time, non-staff continuation time, turnaround time, cancelled surgeries, planned preventative maintenance compliance, and staff satisfaction. The number of steps, staff contribution time, and non-staff contribution time were calculated using cognitive task analyses and time-motion studies, respectively. Turnaround time and cancellation data were taken from existing hospital data sets and staff satisfaction was measured through two staff surveys. Results Digitising the ad-hoc repair pathway reduced the number of steps by 18 (118 to 100) and saved 74 minutes of total staff time (Broomfield Hospital and B. Braun) per repair, resulting in annual efficiency savings of £21,721.48. Digitising the MES repair pathway reduced the number of steps by 13 (74 to 61) and saved 56 minutes of total staff time per repair, resulting in annual efficiency savings of £3469.44. Turnaround time for the repaired kit decreased by 14 days and 29 days for the digital ad-hoc and digital MES pathways, respectively. Elective operations cancelled due to equipment issues decreased by 44%, from 1.5 operations/month pre-pilot to 0.83 operations/month post-pilot. Planned preventative maintenance compliance across the MES pathway increased by 67% (33% to 100%). Staff satisfaction with the repair pathway improved from 12% to 96%. Conclusion This pilot study showcases the numerous benefits that can be achieved through digitisation and offers an innovative case study to approach avoidable cancellations due to equipment failure.

BACKGROUND: Early warning scores (EWS) are routinely used in hospitals to assess a patient\'s risk of deterioration. EWS are traditionally recorded on paper observation charts but are increasingly recorded digitally. In either case, evidence for the clinical effectiveness of such scores is mixed, and previous studies have not considered whether EWS leads to changes in how deteriorating patients are managed.
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to examine whether the introduction of a digital EWS system was associated with more frequent observation of patients with abnormal vital signs, a precursor to earlier clinical intervention.
METHODS: We conducted a 2-armed stepped-wedge study from February 2015 to December 2016, over 4 hospitals in 1 UK hospital trust. In the control arm, vital signs were recorded using paper observation charts. In the intervention arm, a digital EWS system was used. The primary outcome measure was time to next observation (TTNO), defined as the time between a patient\'s first elevated EWS (EWS ≥3) and subsequent observations set. Secondary outcomes were time to death in the hospital, length of stay, and time to unplanned intensive care unit admission. Differences between the 2 arms were analyzed using a mixed-effects Cox model. The usability of the system was assessed using the system usability score survey.
RESULTS: We included 12,802 admissions, 1084 in the paper (control) arm and 11,718 in the digital EWS (intervention) arm. The system usability score was 77.6, indicating good usability. The median TTNO in the control and intervention arms were 128 (IQR 73-218) minutes and 131 (IQR 73-223) minutes, respectively. The corresponding hazard ratio for TTNO was 0.99 (95% CI 0.91-1.07; P=.73).
CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated strong clinical engagement with the system. We found no difference in any of the predefined patient outcomes, suggesting that the introduction of a highly usable electronic system can be achieved without impacting clinical care. Our findings contrast with previous claims that digital EWS systems are associated with improvement in clinical outcomes. Future research should investigate how digital EWS systems can be integrated with new clinical pathways adjusting staff behaviors to improve patient outcomes.

UNASSIGNED: Organizational learning (OL) and interprofessional collaboration (IPC) are said to enhance medical safety in hospitals, but the relationship between these variables has not been quantitatively tested.
UNASSIGNED: This study examines the mediating effects of IPC on the relationship between OL and safety climate (improvement, compliance, and patient/family involvement).
UNASSIGNED: An anonymous self-reporting questionnaire was administered to 1,495 healthcare workers from November 2021 to January 2022. The questions regarded the hospital\'s safety climate, OL, and IPC. A mediation analysis using structural equation modeling was conducted to examine the mediating role of IPC on the relationship between OL and the three safety climates. The indirect effect was estimated using 2,000 bootstrap samples.
UNASSIGNED: Responses from 643 healthcare workers were analyzed. The direct effects of OL were 𝛽 = .74, 75 (p < .001) on improvement and involvement and 𝛽 = 0.1 (p > .05) on compliance. The indirect effects of IPC on improvement and involvement were 𝛽 = .14 (95%CI: .00 ∼ .06) and 𝛽 = .37 (95%CI: .04 ∼ .09), respectively.
UNASSIGNED: This study determined the mechanisms that enhance a hospital\'s safety climate, demonstrating that IPC mediates the relationship between OL and improvement and patient/family involvement. However, OL and IPC are not related to compliance.

Medical residents are significantly impacted by burnout and depression. Recent events have only further increased the pressure and demands on the healthcare sector, intensifying the burden facing residents and posing a threat to residents\' well-being. As a result, significant efforts are being made to provide formalized support and well-being programs. Yet, emergent evidence indicates that residents do not sufficiently utilize this form of support. Considering the organizational investment and focus on formalized support programs, we conducted a mixed-method study to investigate residents\' utilization of formalized well-being support, and potential reasons for non-use. Our study was conducted during a period of increased work burden and stress for medical residents, where formalized support was specifically offered and targeted to medical staff. Our findings confirm earlier results of low support utilization and point to the importance of informal support mechanisms, in particular peer support. We conclude by discussing the role of managers and educational programs in facilitating a positive cultural shift to promote and support residents in seeking support.

BACKGROUND: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB), characterized by skin fragility and blistering, often requires hospitalization. Training for inpatient management of EB is limited, with no unified recommendations available in North America.
OBJECTIVE: To develop consensus-derived best practices for hands-on inpatient management of EB in both the neonatal and postneonatal period.
METHODS: A modified Delphi method (expert-based input via 2 surveys and a final review) was implemented. Available guidelines from EB Clinical Research Consortium centers were analyzed to determine areas of focus and formulate statements to be voted on by EB Clinical Research Consortium members, experienced EB nurses, and select family members. Study participants evaluated statements using a Likert scale: statements with at least 70% agreement were accepted; statements with 30% or more disagreement were rejected.
RESULTS: Ten areas of focus were identified. Delphi participants included 15 dermatologists, 8 nurses, and 6 nonhealth care caregivers. Consensus was established on 103/119 neonatal statements and 105/122 postneonatal statements; no statements were rejected. Most recommendations applied to both age groups.
CONCLUSIONS: Recommendations may require adjustment based on individual patient\'s clinical context.
CONCLUSIONS: Using the Delphi method, a consensus-derived resource for hospital-based health care professionals who manage patients with EB has been developed to improve the quality of inpatient care.
