Toward a process-level view of distributed healthcare tasks: medication management as a case study.
Researchers aimed to highlight the importance of using a process-level view in analyzing distributed healthcare tasks through a case study analysis of medication management (MM). Their findings identified key cross-system characteristics not observable at the task-level: (1) identification of emergent properties (e.g., role ambiguity, loosely-coupled teams performing MM) and associated barriers; and (2) examination of barrier propagation across system boundaries.

High-value home health care for patients with heart failure: an opportunity to optimize transitions from hospital to home.
Providing home health nursing and therapy could promote recovery in vulnerable HF patients with post-hospital syndrome and potentially reduce readmissions. The authors argue that understanding the characteristics of effective post-acute HHC for patients with HF will inform best practices, optimal outcomes for cost, and ultimately high-value care.
