BACKGROUND: Climate change is impacting the health of individuals worldwide. At the same time, the healthcare sector contributes to carbon emissions. In Australia, healthcare contributes 7% of the country's carbon footprint. Research into the environmental impact and mitigation of carbon emissions in primary care is an emerging area. OBJECTIVE: To explore staff perspectives on facilitators and barriers to environmental sustainability in 3 Australian general practices seeking to reduce their environmental impact...

BACKGROUND: Integrating behavioural health care into primary care practices may increase patients' access to behavioural health services and improve health outcomes. However, few studies have explored factors that influence integration processes. OBJECTIVE: We sought to better understand contextual factors that support or impede behavioural health integration in primary care practices. METHODS: We conducted 71 semi-structured interviews with providers, staff, and leaders from eight primary care practices in the United States with integrated behavioural health services, which were participating in a randomized control, pragmatic trial: Integrating Behavioural Health and Primary Care...

BACKGROUND: Prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, remuneration was introduced for Australian general practice telehealth consultations. General practitioner (GP) trainees' telehealth use is of clinical, educational, and policy importance. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and associations of telehealth versus face-to-face consultations amongst Australian GP registrars (vocational GP trainees). METHODS: Cross-sectional analysis of data from the Registrar Clinical Encounters in Training (ReCEnT) study, from 2020 to 2021 (three 6-month terms), including registrars in 3 of Australia's 9 Regional Training Organisations...

BACKGROUND: Continuity of primary care (CPC) is associated with reduced mortality and improved health status. This study assessed the level of CPC and changes in CPC over 6 years among adults with experience of homelessness and mental illness who received a Housing First intervention.

BACKGROUND: Integrated care has been proven to be effective among stroke survivors. However, in China, these services mainly focus on connecting the healthcare system (acute, primary medical, and skilled) at the individual level. Closer health and social care integration is a new concept. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare health-related outcomes 6 months after the implementation of the 2 integrated care models. METHODS: It was a 6-month follow-up of an open, prospectively study comparing the outcomes of a model of integrated health and social care (IHSC) versus a usual integrated healthcare (IHC) model...

BACKGROUND: Patient experience feedback is key in patient centred health systems, but empirical evidence of general practitioner (GP) interest in it is sparse. We aimed to: (i) quantitatively estimate the level of GP interest for feedback reports on patient experience; (ii) explore determinants of such interest; and (iii) examine potential association between a priori interest and patient experience. METHODS: The patient experience survey included maximum 300 randomly selected patients for each of 50 randomly selected GPs (response rate 41...

CONTENT: This study examines the potential utility of genetic testing as a supplement to family health history to screen for increased risk of inherited disease. Medical conditions are often misreported or misunderstood, especially those related to different forms of cardiac disease (arrhythmias vs. structural heart disease vs. coronary artery disease), female organ cancers (uterine vs. ovarian vs. cervical), and type of cancer (differentiating primary cancer from metastases to other organs)...

BACKGROUND: Recent evidence suggests that the first consultation with a general practitioner (GP) for symptoms of depression may be more than just a vehicle for assessment and management planning (as current guidelines imply). OBJECTIVES: To identify what patients find helpful, or otherwise, in their first consultation for low mood with a GP. METHODS: A cross-sectional questionnaire and interview study of patients with low mood who had recently consulted their GP, in the North of England...

BACKGROUND: In a gatekeeping system, the individual doctor's referral practice is an important factor for hospital activity and patient safety. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to investigate the variation in out-of-hours (OOH) doctors' referral practice, and to explore these variations' impact on admissions for selected diagnoses reflecting severity, and 30-day mortality. METHODS: National data from the doctors' claims database were linked with hospital data in the Norwegian Patient Registry...

BACKGROUND: There is a pressing need for healthcare to respond to the climate crisis. Family physicians, given their central role in community healthcare provision, are strategically placed to lead, support, and promote sustainable healthcare, yet guidance on how to do this is fragmented.

BACKGROUND: To decrease hospital readmission rates, clinical practices create a transition of care (TOC) process to assess patients and coordinate care postdischarge. As current evidence suggests lack of universal benefit, this study's objectives are to determine what patient and process factors associate with hospital readmissions, as well as construct a model to decrease 30-day readmissions. METHODS: Three months of retrospective discharged patient data (n = 123) were analysed for readmission influences including: patient-specific comorbidities, admission-specific diagnoses, and TOC components...

BACKGROUND: Hospital-at-home (HaH) care has been proposed as an alternative to inpatient care for patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Previous reports were hospital-led and involved patients triaged at the hospitals. To reduce the burden on hospitals, we constructed a novel HaH care model organized by a team of local primary care clinics. METHODS: We conducted a multicentre retrospective cohort study of the COVID-19 patients who received our HaH care from 1 January to 31 March 2022...
