Experiences of hospital rotation from family medicine residents' points of view an empirical holistic study.
Trainees or medical residents' experiences of hospital rotations and training have not been sufficiently studied. More empirical holistic studies of experiences of General Practice/Family Medicine (GP/FM) residents in Sweden are needed. The purpose of this study was to describe experiences of hospital rotation during residency. ⋯ The study suggests that family medicine residents required a structured and planned schedule during hospital rotations. This study may contribute to increased quality of hospital rotations during residency as a family physician.

ReviewIdentifying performance indicators to measure overall performance of telephone triage - a scoping review.
This article aims to summarize performance indicators used in telephone triage services research, and make recommendations for the selection of valid indicators to measure the performance of telephone triage. We describe what kind of frameworks, performance indicators, or variables have been used for evaluating telephone triage performance by systematically mapping the telephone triage performance measurement. The objective was to find measures for each Triple Aim dimension. ⋯ Measuring the performance of telephone triage requires an extensive and comprehensive approach. We presented performance indicators that may be included in the framework for measuring the performance of telephone triage to support overall performance measurements of telephone triage.
