Leveraging diverse data sources to identify and describe U.S. health care delivery systems.
Health care delivery systems are a growing presence in the U.S., yet research is hindered by the lack of universally agreed-upon criteria to denote formal systems. This study assesses available data sources to identify and describe systems, including system members and relationships among the members.

Characterizing New England emergency departments by telemedicine use.
The primary objective of this study was to describe the prevalence of telemedicine use in New England EDs and the clinical applications of use. It concluded that telemedicine is commonly used in New England EDs. In 2014, use was more common among rural EDs and EDs with limited neurology consultant availability. In contrast, telemedicine use was less common among very low-volume EDs.

"Scaling-out" evidence-based interventions to new populations or new health care delivery systems.
This paper introduces a new concept for implementation called "scaling-out" when evidence-based interventions are adapted either to new populations or new delivery systems, or both. Using existing external validity theories and multilevel mediation modeling, the authors provide a logical framework for determining what new empirical evidence is required for an intervention to retain its evidence-based standard in this new context.

Implementation of rapid treatment and interfacility transport for patients with suspected stroke by large-vessel occlusion: in one door and out the other.
This editorial discusses an article in this same issue of JAMA Neurology (McTaggart et al) that describes the results of the implementation of a standard protocol for patients with suspected emergent large-vessel occlusion (ELVO), and the protocol’s impact on both the process of care and patient outcomes. The editorial concludes that the McTaggart article challenges the medical community to develop an interdisciplinary, team-based, protocol-based approach to patients with potential ELVOs, and that work across the disciplines is needed to achieve an acceptable false-positive rate for the system.
