Health professionals’ experience of implementing and delivering a ‘Community Care’ programme in metropolitan Melbourne: a qualitative reflexive thematic analysis by Cylie Williams, Kelly-Ann Bowles, Brendan Shannon, Hollie Shannon, Nadine Andrew, Julia Morphet

“…Objectives To explore the experiences of health professionals involved in delivering a multidisciplinary Community Care programme that provides a transitional care coordination service for patients visiting a tertiary hospital service in Melbourne, Australia.Design Reflexive thematic analysis was used to identify themes from descriptions of delivering the programme, including its perceived strengths and challenges.Participants 12 healthcare professionals from four disciplines working in the Community Care programme were interviewed.Results Four themes were identified: (1) ‘increasingly complex’, depicts the experience of delivering care to patients with increasingly complex health needs; (2) ‘plugging unexpected gaps’, describes meeting patient’s healthcare needs; (3) ‘disconnected’, explains system-based issues which made participants feel disconnected from the wider health service; (4) ‘a misunderstood programme’, illustrates that a poor understanding of the programme within the health service is a barrier to patient enrolment which may have been exacerbated by a service name change.Conclusions The healthcare professionals involved in this study described the experience of providing care to patients as challenging, but felt they made a positive difference. …”

A Dynamic Design Methodology for Large-Scale Complex Nonlinear Systems Based on Orthogonal Decomposition Technique by Qi-Bin Wang, Si-Yang Piao, Ming-Wei Piao, Peng Dang, Qiu-Ze Li, Jing-Ying Ren

“…On the contrary, the dynamic simulation analyses of MC01-TC02-MC03 three-vehicles trainset show that the semiactive damping technique between intervehicles takes advantage of Izz >> Ixx to improve the impacts of car body instability on ride comfort, and the self-adaptive improved design has consequently the ability to achieve the technical goal of uniform wear at low conicity. On the premise of meeting the requirements of crossing over different speed grade dedicated lines and realizing the running operations on three-speed levels of 160/250/350 km/h, the self-adaptive higher-/high-speed bogies can conditionally satisfy the economic reprofiling requirements of wheelsets through the optimal routing planning.…”
