Development and usefulness of a district health systems tool for performance improvement in essential public health functions in Botswana and Mozambique.
This study describes the development of a self-audit tool for public health and the associated methodology for implementing a district health system self-audit tool that can provide quantitative data on how district governments perceive their performance of the essential public health functions. It found that instant feedback from the audit was a feature that 100 percent of pilot respondents found most useful.

ACOs holding commercial contracts are larger and more efficient than noncommercial ACOs.
The researchers examined differences between commercial accountable care organizations (ACOs) and noncommercial ACOs. They found that among all ACOs, there was low uptake of quality and efficiency activities; commercial ACOs reported more use of disease monitoring tools, patient satisfaction data, and quality improvement methods; and about two-thirds of the ACOs had established processes for distributing any savings accrued. They concluded that ACO delivery systems remain at a nascent stage.

Number of diverticulitis episodes before resection and factors associated with earlier interventions.
The authors described patterns of episodes of diverticulitis before surgery and factors associated with earlier interventions using inpatient, outpatient, and antibiotic prescription claims. They found that 56.3% of elective resections for uncomplicated diverticulitis occurred after fewer than 3 episodes. Further, they determined that earlier surgery was not explained by younger age, laparoscopy, time between the last 2 episodes preceding surgery, or financial risk-bearing for patients.

Role of social knowledge networking technology in facilitating meaningful use of electronic health record medication reconciliation.
In this paper, Rangachari 1) conducted a narrative review of the literature on "technology use," to understand how technologies-in-practice may be transformed from limited use to meaningful use; 2) conducted a narrative review of the literature on "organizational change implementation," to understand how changes in technology use could be successfully implemented and sustained in a healthcare organizational context; and 3) applied lessons learned from the narrative literature reviews to identify strategies for the meaningful use and successful implementation of EHR Medication Reconciliation technology.

Implementation science: A potential catalyst for delivery system reform.
Understanding which of the multitude of technological, policy, and organizational changes under way are most effective at improving care is a critical challenge. This article describes 3 ideas that could be helpful: application of a well-grounded conceptual framework; distinguishing 3 distinct types of innovations that health systems are using to improve care; and a focus on building the information systems needed to accelerate timely learning.
