Digitising the on-call medical team's patient list system: a QIP by Fahad-Bin Zahid

“…Feedback was collected after each cycle to address challenges and refine functionality, including: • Removal of unnecessary columns • Removal of the ‘low-priority’ category (eg, falls, social issues), because such patients were delayed for extended periods, raising clinical safety concerns; • Improved navigation by fixing headers and introducing alternate row colouring to support dyslexic users1–3; • Enhanced visibility for same-day emergency care department (SDEC) and patients who were post-take; • Created a video guide for staff and clarified the log-in process; • Created a secure folder for archived spreadsheets to improve data storage; • Developed an automatic timestamp for when details were entered.Efficiency gains: • Reduced handover times by 13.5 min (on average) per handover; • 73% of registrars reported improved workflow efficiency; • Features, such as live updates and centralised tracking, minimised information loss and streamlined referral management.Environmental impact: • Eliminated 100% of official paper-based referral list, aligning with NHS sustainability goalsUser satisfaction: • 91% of registrars preferred the electronic system. • 73% rated the system 8–10 for usabilityEquality impact: • The project had no adverse effects on any protected characteristic groups. …”

Advances and trends of non-marine shale sedimentology: A case study from Gulong Shale of Daqing Oilfield, Songliao Basin, NE China by Longde SUN, Rukai ZHU, Tianshu ZHANG, Yi CAI, Zihui FENG, Bin BAI, Hang JIANG, Bo WANG

“…The non-marine shale sedimentology is expected to evolve into an interdisciplinary science on the basis of sedimentary petrology and petroleum geology, which reveals the physical, chemical and biological actions, and the distribution characteristics and evolution patterns of minerals, organic matter, pores, fluid, and phases, in the transportation, sedimentation, water-rock interaction, diagenesis and evolution processes. Such research will focus on eight aspects: lithofacies and organic matter distribution prediction under a sequence stratigraphic framework for non-marine shale strata; lithofacies paleogeography of shale strata based on the forward modeling of sedimentation; origins of non-marine shale lamina and log-based identification of lamina combinations; source of organic matter in shale and its enrichment process; non-marine shale lithofacies classification by rigid particles + plastic components + pore-fracture system; multi-field coupling organic-inorganic interaction mechanism in shale diagenesis; new methods and intelligent core technology for shale reservoir multi-scale characterization; and quantitative evaluation and intelligent analysis system of shale reservoir heterogeneity.…”
