Abstract Date Presented 04/22/21 The Comprehensive Operating Room Ergonomics (CORE) program was developed to address the physical and environmental demands among surgeons. This feasibility study examined the design and implementation process of an evidence-based OT ergonomics intervention using a mixed-methods research design. The CORE program supports the American Occupational Therapy Association’s Vision 2025 of promoting population health and wellness, especially among surgeons who are essential to our health care system.

Certain food components play a vital part in the benefit of our health and wellness. These foods, also known as “Functional Foods,” help in reducing or minimizing the risk of certain diseases and other conditions apart from providing fundamental nutrition. These foods include fortified foods, beverages, some nutritional supplements, fruits, vegetables, and whole grams etc. Many traditional foods with functional characteristics have been discovered, examined, and developed into beneficial components of new foods. By knowing which food is capable of providing specific health benefits, individuals can choose food and drink to improve their health

Lifestyle medicine is a relatively new specialty that focuses on behavior change to prevent, treat, and reverse chronic disease and promote wellness. It is relevant to any medical or surgical field that deals with noninfectious chronic disease and to any individual or community pursuing health and wellness. Lifestyle medicine offers evidence-based interventions and tools to foster wellness and resiliency in ourselves and our patients. This commentary gives a brief background of lifestyle medicine and how embracing the discipline could benefit the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery and the field of otolaryngology overall. Specifically, we describe opportunities to improve patient health, promote personal wellness, combat burnout, and foster unity among otolaryngology subspeciality societies.

Recent years have witnessed a surge of interest in the neuroscience of architecture. This burgeoning area of research explores how the design of the built environment shapes human behavior, health, and wellness. In this chapter, the author reviews key historical developments in architectural design that motivated current research on the psychology and neuroscience of architectural experience. He argues that these evidence-based design movements of today emerged in response to a narrow aesthetic dogma that was widely adopted in the mid-20th century and contributed to the mass standardization of architectural form. Within this historical context, he reviews key findings from recent publications on the neuroscience of architecture and discusses the implications of this research for architectural design and human experience.

Abstract In Canada, cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common physical disability, affecting approximately 2 to 3 per 1,000 individuals. Paediatricians are sure to encounter and care for children with CP and their families. The role of the general paediatrician in caring for a child with CP is crucial, from diagnosis to providing a ‘medical home’, and from ensuring care coordination to delivering anticipatory guidance and preventive health and wellness care. The CP Health and Wellness Record that accompanies this practice point can assist both practitioners and children’s families by exploring key areas of health, function, participation, and wellness. This record may be used alongside other evidence-based health promotion guides, such as the Rourke Baby Record and the Greig Health Record, to prompt clinicians caring for ambulatory children with CP (Gross Motor Function Classification System [GMFCS] levels I and II) on specific health issues and domains.

Absence Management

In the United States, workers’ compensation law is state-specific, and employee benefits including health care costs are born primarily by the employer. In response to cost increases in medical treatment and absences due to illnesses and injuries occupational or non-occupational, the practice of Disability Management (DM) has continued to evolve. The purpose of Disability Management is to reduce the incidents of employee absences, whether due to illness, injury, or other causes. There is a distinct paucity of meaningful analyses of the history and emerging evidences in the DM field. As a more integrated approach to disability management, both a theoretical understanding and an evidence-based practice is sought by each stakeholder in order to structure the evolution of practice and to document consistent ROI metrics. Theoretical underpinnings, historical evolution of disability and absence management, and specific evidence-based trends emerging in the field form the foundation of these standards. This study is a workplace approach that begins to define standards of practice to integrate disability management, health and wellness, and absence management. The purpose of this study is to collect data to comprehend how employers perceive their own awareness, importance, and feelings of preparedness pertaining to the primary practice domains identified in DM. This data will be obtained through an electronic survey using rating scales with an online questionnaire which will include descriptive and ex post facto design components. The survey items were developed by these authors in collaboration with other colleagues known in the field of Disability Management. Descriptive statistics will be computed for the employer participants characteristics based upon the demographic portion of the online questionnaire. The population of interest in this study is national or international employer(s) that have deployed or interested to develop Disability Management program(s) at their worksite(s). The specific type of employees/partners with these employers include: Occupational Health Practitioners, Department Heads and Supervisors, Human Resources personnel and Risk Management/Safety Personnel. The findings from this study will help identify employer perceptions of recognized DM practice domains, identify potential training needs of employers, and assist in developing standards of practice approach to workplace disability, health/wellness, and absence management, and DM educational standards. In addition, employers will be able identify their position on the continuum of the model disability management that evolves to engage practices integrating health and wellness, absence management, and productivity management. Maturation benchmarks will place the employer in a continuous improvement mode towards a workplace with a healthier workforce in a healthier community. Information will also be beneficial to the literature, and capacity development of students and practitioners in the field of Disability Management.
