This article aims to identify the factors that affect physicians' experiences of receiving practice data and to use these data to develop a model describing how individuals interact with the data. ⋯ Our novel model depicts the relationship between data feedback systems and individuals' mindsets interact to augment or hinder clinical practice improvement. This model may provide leaders with a framework to examine their academic and administrative structures and how they might interface with performance feedback systems with clinicians.

To explore rates and factors associated with mandatory vaccination support overall and intentions to get vaccinated specifically for COVID-19 among individuals in Greece. ⋯ The survey revealed that the majority of the Greek citizens favour mandatory vaccination overall and intend to get vaccinated for COVID-19, driven mostly by utilization of preventive services and trust in healthcare authorities. However, intention to get vaccinated for COVID-19 was lower relative to mandatory vaccination support. This suggests a need to intensify evidence-based yet simplified messaging by esteemed healthcare providers to inform the public on the risks and benefits of vaccines.

National organizations have called for routine collection of data on sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) in clinical settings to track access to and quality of care provided to sexual and gender minority patients to improve health outcomes. However, there are limited data on this implementation for among adolescent populations. ⋯ This study identified incomplete data collection in SOGI documentation among adolescents receiving medical and mental health services in SBHCs.

Review Meta Analysis
Interventions to increase appointment attendance in safety net health centers: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Missed appointments are a persistent problem across healthcare settings, and result in negative outcomes for providers and patients. We aimed to review and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions designed to reduce missed appointments in safety net settings. ⋯ Strategies to improve appointment adherence in safety net hospitals varied widely and were only modestly effective. Further research harmonizing intervention delivery within each strategy and comparing strategies with the most potential for success is needed.

The Withdrawal Assessment Tool (WAT-1) is one of the most widely used clinician-reported outcome measures to evaluate iatrogenic withdrawal symptoms (IWS) in critically ill children. However, the WAT-1's measurement properties have not been aggregated. Aggregating psychometric research on the WAT-1 will enhance appropriate use, and outline gaps for future empirical research. The aim of this systematic review is to critically appraise, compare, and summarize the measurement properties and evidence quality, and describe the interpretability and feasibility of the WAT-1 for identifying IWS symptoms in critically ill children. ⋯ The results of this review indicate that the WAT-1 is a precise, easy to use measure of IWS in critically ill children despite some measurement property inconsistencies and gaps in the publication record. More information is required to support its content validity, responsiveness, internal consistency, cross-cultural validity, and interpretability.
