Continuous Quality Improvement: Utilizing a Novel Education Platform to Enhance Care for the Caregiver in the Neurosciences Intensive Care Unit.

Background: Timely patient and family communication is fundamental to the delivery of patient and family-centered care in the intensive care unit (ICU). However, repetitive, non-urgent communication with patients and designated patient contacts (DPCs) may lead to workflow disruptions, patient safety concerns and burnout. Implementing media-rich, educational content via a web-app could promote a more communication-friendly environment and reduce redundant communication. This may lower workflow disruptions and save time for more meaningful interactions with providers. The goal of this study was to deliver relevant, high-quality content via a web-app, assess time savings, and patient satisfaction with the web-app. Methods: A pre-implementation survey was distributed to Neurosciences intensive care unit (NSICU) staff to assess the burden of repetitive non-urgent communication and perceived duration of disruptions. Patients admitted to the NSICU from September 2022 to February 2023, n = 221 were included in the study. Patients were enrolled in the web-app. Patients and their DPC were granted access. Demographics including patient diagnosis, age, gender, and race were collected, along with data on weekly patient enrollment, number of DPCs granted access, total, frequency, and average view times of each piece of web-app content, and expected time saved due to review of web-app-based content by patient and/or DPCs to reduce repetitive communication by NSICU caregivers. The time saved for each piece of web-app content was calculated after getting feedback from providers (attendings, fellows, advanced practice providers, nurses) for how long it generally took them to convey each piece of information to patients and families. Results: Based on web-app content reviewed by patients and/or DPCs, the estimated average amount of NSICU caregiver time saved over the study period, based on application content views, was 82 min per week, and the cumulative total provider time saved for all content views was 26 h and 53 min. Twenty-one of 59 applications were rated by patients or their DPC and received five-star reviews (out of 5). Conclusion: The implementation of a web-app to facilitate and increase efficiency in communication leads to time savings for NSICU providers and patient/DPC satisfaction with the media-rich educational content.

BONES: Near-Optimal Neural-Enhanced Video Streaming

Accessing high-quality video content can be challenging due to insufficient and unstable network bandwidth. Recent advances in neural enhancement have shown promising results in improving the quality of degraded videos through deep learning. Neural-Enhanced Streaming (NES) incorporates this new approach into video streaming, allowing users to download low-quality video segments and then enhance them to obtain high-quality content without violating the playback of the video stream. We introduce BONES, an NES control algorithm that jointly manages the network and computational resources to maximize the quality of experience (QoE) of the user. BONES formulates NES as a Lyapunov optimization problem and solves it in an online manner with near-optimal performance, making it the first NES algorithm to provide a theoretical performance guarantee. Comprehensive experimental results indicate that BONES increases QoE by 5% to 20% over state-of-the-art algorithms with minimal overhead.

Quality and recognizability estimation video encryption database

In literature about selective encryption of image and video content, image quality indices are usually used to gauge the degree of encryption. These methods have frequently been shown not to work well for the evaluation of encryption, mainly due to them being trained on predominantly high quality contents. The problem for creating a proper recognition index or visual encryption strength index is the lack of data to train on. In this paper we present the first database of encrypted video content, ranging from high quality to completely unrecognizable, together with human observer scores for quality and recognizability. We also provide a basic evaluation of visual quality indices on this database, directly and in different combination by fusion, to showcase that currently image and video quality indices are ill fit for the purpose of estimating video encryption strength/recognizably. This inability of quality indices to perform also showcases that this database fills the required blind spot of currently available data.

루마니아 내 한국학 교육에서의 북한학

Interest in Korean studies in Romania is gradually increasing. This is largely due to the heightened national status associated with the rapid growth of the Korean economy and the Korean Wave, which has rich and high-quality cultural contents. With this trend, Korean studies in Romania have created a large demand for education within a short period of time and are accumulating various research achievements. At this point, a more strategic attitude and effort are required to find long-term and stable growth engines for Korean studies. In addition to the development of human resources, which have played a central role in Korean studies education, communication from various perspectives for Korean studies research must be achieved. For the desirable development of Korean studies in Romania, where language education is the center, it seems that much discussion will be needed on what kind of educational contents are required and how these should be prepared and delivered to learners. The way to continue to raise the awareness of Korean studies, which has been heightened by the Korean Wave, is to operate Korean studies with rich educational contents. From this perspective, providing education on North Korean studies, especially their history, is considered necessary to build more diverse educational contents. The need for history education has been emphasized for overseas Korean language learners, but in fact, education about the history of North Korea, which is part of the Korean studies, has been taboo. We need to approach history more freely from ideological views and prejudices and instill in students a correct understanding of history. This is believed to be one of many problems that must be resolved for the development of Korean studies education.

Educating patients on osteoporosis and bone health: Can "ChatGPT" provide high-quality content?

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) models like ChatGPT offers potential for varied applications, including patient education in healthcare. With gaps in osteoporosis and bone health knowledge and adherence to prevention and treatment, this study aims to evaluate the accuracy of ChatGPT in delivering evidence-based information related to osteoporosis. Twenty of the most common frequently asked questions (FAQs) related to osteoporosis were subcategorized into diagnosis, diagnostic method, risk factors, and treatment and prevention. These FAQs were sourced online and inputted into ChatGPT-3.5. Three orthopedic surgeons and one advanced practice provider who routinely treat patients with fragility fractures independently reviewed the ChatGPT-generated answers, grading them on a scale from 0 (harmful) to 4 (excellent). Mean response accuracy scores were calculated. To compare the variance of the means across the four categories, a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used. ChatGPT displayed an overall mean accuracy score of 91%. Its responses were graded as "accurate requiring minimal clarification" or "excellent," with a mean response score ranging from 3.25 to 4. No answers were deemed inaccurate or harmful. No significant difference was observed in the means of responses across the defined categories. ChatGPT-3.5 provided high-quality educational content. It showcased a high degree of accuracy in addressing osteoporosis-related questions, aligning closely with expert opinions and current literature, with structured and inclusive answers. However, while AI models can enhance patient information accessibility, they should be used as an adjunct rather than a substitute for human expertise and clinical judgment.

"An app is just available at all times"-the process and outcomes of converting the Georgia Tuberculosis Reference Guide into a mobile application.

The physical, paper-based Georgia TB Reference Guide has served as the clinical reference handbook on tuberculosis (TB) diagnostic and treatment guidelines for the state of Georgia in the United States. Supported by the Georgia Department of Public Health, the production of the 112-page palm-sized booklet was previously led by a team of Georgia-based TB experts at Emory University and printed every three-five years with updates to clinical management guidelines and TB consult contact information. However, the costs associated with editorial printing combined with delays in updating a static printed booklet with revised guidance hampered the utility of the tool. Considering the barriers with paper-based production and based on the beneficial use of apps to support the dissemination of clinical management guidance in other settings, the booklet was converted into a mobile application. This paper describes the process of developing a mobile app version of the Georgia TB Reference Guide in an easy-to-update and readily available format. We employed a user-centered design approach to develop the app, including a series of qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys. Participants included a mix of state officials and local TB experts. First, initial foundational interviews were conducted to conceptualize current utilization practices of both the paper and PDF versions of the tool. Second, the findings from the initial interviews were organized thematically and informed the design of the app, which was then beta tested by a round of previously unsampled TB experts as well as a re-sample from the initial interviews. Third, the designs were coded into developmental phases and beta tested among users of the current Georgia TB Reference Guide. Fourth, the app was published and downloaded by a pre-selected group of local users who provided answers to a follow-up survey after using the app for one month. Fifth, user growth, self-reported demographics, and app usage between February and July 2022 were recorded through automatic data metrics built into the app. The paper copy Georgia TB Reference Guide usage themes included commonly referenced content, navigation paths, and desired features and content. The themes were converted into features and designs such as prioritizing commonly reviewed topics and guide customization with bookmarks and notes. Iterations of the designs were driven by feedback from TB experts and included home page featured content, improving content readability, and improving the search feature. The follow-up survey revealed a 90% preference for the app over the paper version of the guide. In the six months following the app's release, the app was downloaded by 281 individuals in the United States. The majority of downloads were in Georgia and the app also expanded organically to 19 other states. The experience of converting the Georgia TB Reference Guide offers specific and effective steps to converting a medical reference guide into a mobile application tool that is readily available, easy to use, and easy to update. The organic dissemination of the app beyond the state of Georgia's borders within the first six months of app launch underscores desire among TB healthcare professionals for high-quality digital reference content outside the state. This experience offers clear outlines for replication in other contexts and demonstrates the utility of similar mobile medical reference tools.
