Could Milkability Parameters Serve as a Reliable Tool to Predict the Morphology of Teat Structures and Their Milking-Induced Changes? by Iveta Szencziová, Matúš Gašparík, Jaromír Ducháček, Eva Tóthová Tarová, Melinda Nagy, Luděk Stádník, Mária Mičiaková, Radim Codl

“…The prediction potential, performed based on milkability, is limited if the initial dimensions of structures are not provided. If teat dimensions were measured at the beginning of the production life, automatically collected milkability data could be used to calculate milking-induced changes incurred with each milking and the development of teat dimensions over the production life. …”

Identifying important and feasible primary care structures and processes in the US healthcare system: a modified Delphi study by Daphna Harel, Bryan J Weiner, Saul B Blecker, Ann M Nguyen, Maggie M Paul, Stephanie L Albert, Lorraine Kwok, Donna R Shelley, Charles M Cleland, Deborah J Cohen, Laura Damschroder, Carolyn A Berry

“…Objective To identify primary care structures and processes that have the highest and lowest impact on chronic disease management and screening and prevention outcomes as well as to assess the feasibility of implementing these structures and processes into practice.Design A two-round Delphi study was conducted to establish consensus on the impact and feasibility of 258 primary care structures and processes.Participants 29 primary care providers, health system leaders and health services researchers in the USA.Outcomes Primary outcomes were (1) consensus on the impact of each structure and process on chronic disease management and screening and prevention outcomes, separately and (2) consensus on feasibility of implementation by primary care practices.Results Consensus on high impact and feasibility of implementation was reached on four items for chronic disease management: ‘Providers use motivational interviewing to help patients set goals’, ‘Practice has designated staff to manage patient panel’, ‘Practice has onsite providers or staff that speak the most dominant, non-English language spoken by patients’ and ‘Practice includes mental health providers and/or behavioural health specialists in care team’ and seven items for screening and prevention: ‘Practice utilizes standing protocols and orders’, ‘Practice generates reports to alert clinicians to missed targets and to identify gaps in care, such as overdue visits, needed vaccinations, screenings or other preventive services’, ‘Practice has designated staff to manage patient panel’, ‘Practice sets performance goals and uses benchmarking to track quality of care’, ‘Practice uses performance feedback to identify practice-specific areas of improvement’, ‘Practice builds quality improvement activities into practice operations’ and ‘Pre-visit planning data are reviewed during daily huddles’. …”
