Pediatric randomized clinical trials in community hospitals: strategies to enhance site participation and engagement.
Researchers convened an interdisciplinary group of panelists to identify strategies that promote community hospital participation in pediatric randomized clinical trials. Fourteen strategies were identified within three overarching domains: policy changes in funding and scientific review guidelines, systems for providing centralized resources, and research design tailored to community hospital participation.

Comparing methods of grouping hospitals.
The purpose of this study was to compare the performance of widely used approaches for defining groups of hospitals and a new approach based on network analysis of shared patient volume. Results showed that community detection algorithm-defined hospital groups offer high validity, reliability to different specifications, and generalizability to many uses when compared to approaches in widespread use today. They may offer a better choice for efforts seeking to analyze the behaviors and dynamics of groups of hospitals. Measures of modularity, shared information, inclusivity, and shared behavior can be used to evaluate different approaches to grouping providers.

Using a society database to evaluate a patient safety collaborative: the Cardiovascular Surgical Translational Study.
The authors assessed the utility of using external databases for quality improvement (QI) evaluations in the context of an innovative QI collaborative aimed to reduce three infections and improve patient safety across the cardiac surgery service line. They compared changes in each outcome between 15 intervention hospitals and 52 propensity score-matched hospitals, and found that improvement trends in several outcomes among the studied intervention hospitals were not statistically different from those in comparison hospitals. They conclude that using external databases may permit comparative effectiveness assessment by providing concurrent comparison groups, additional outcome measures, and longer follow-up.

Stimulated recall methodology for assessing work system barriers and facilitators in family-centered rounds in a pediatric hospital.
In this study, the researchers implemented and evaluated the use of a stimulated recall methodology for collective confrontation in the context of family-centered rounds (FCRs). They concluded that their study demonstrated the value of the stimulated recall methodology to identify a range of work system factors that either positively or negatively influence family engagement during FCRs.
