Psychosocial Risk Assessment

To improve psychosocial risk assessment and service provision for children with craniofacial conditions presenting for annual interdisciplinary team visits. Institute for Healthcare quality improvement model. U.S. pediatric academic medical center. Caregivers of children ages 0-17 years with craniofacial conditions presenting for 1692 team visits between August 2017 and July 2019. Key drivers included: (1) standardizing pre-visit triage processes; (2) administering the Psychosocial Assessment Tool-Craniofacial Version (PAT-CV); (3) utilizing PAT-CV scores in real time to add patients to psychosocial provider schedules; and (4) family education. Interventions included improving patient screening, increasing PAT-CV completion rate, altering clinic flow, providing patient and parent education about psychosocial services, and altering team member roles to fully integrate PAT-CV administration and scoring in the clinic. The primary outcome was the percentage of patients identified for psychosocial consultations via nurse triage, PAT-CV score, family or provider request who completed consultations. The secondary outcome was the percentage of patients completing needed psychosocial consultations based on elevated PAT-CV scores. Use of the PAT-CV resulted in an increase in the percentage of patients with elevated psychosocial risk who received a psychosocial consultation from 86.7% to 93.4%. The percentage of children receiving psychosocial consultation at their annual team visit due to elevated PAT-CV scores increased from 72% to 90%. Integrating a validated psychosocial risk screening instrument can improve risk identification and psychosocial consultation completion. A combination of risk screening approaches may be indicated to identify patients in need of psychosocial services.

Managing the transportation of dangerous goods (DG) through road tunnels is of great importance since it is associated with a serious risk of accidents. The consequences of an accident involving DG, especially in the closed tunnel environment, might be more significant and even more catastrophic compared to the same accident occurring on an open road. This article presents the Greek experience regarding the application of quantitative risk assessment (QRA) methods for the transportation of DG through Greek road tunnels. The modified Delphi method, with the participation of nine experts, is employed to investigate the obstacles to successfully conforming with the mandatory European Union regulatory framework that applies to transport operations within the Trans-European road network. Recommendations are made to improve the applied QRA approach, to facilitate the cooperation between tunnel managers and emergency services, to communicate lessons learned and to enhance the training of risk assessors.
