“…However, employees felt that engagement of all specialties with the work process had decreased when working from home. Those with lower levels of positive affect tend to change their jobs during the period of working from home ( Mohamedbhai et al, 2021 ). In examining H7, the results showed that the R&D professionals’ positive affect was negatively related to their turnover intention, mediated by their remote WE during COVID-19.…”

Remote work has become the most popular approach during the COVID-19 lockdown; however, remote work engagement is an issue which creates challenges for human resource management. Some individuals engage in work no matter how difficult the job is, but some people’s minds wander, no matter how simple the job is. To address this issue, this study drew on trait activation theory, which indicates that one’s positive disposition may affect one’s turnover intention mediated by work engagement, to formulate a research model to test the associations among R&D professionals. Questionnaires were distributed to R&D professionals working in China information and communication technology (ICT) through several Instant Message groups. In total, 386 valid questionnaires were collected for confirmatory factor analysis with structural equation modeling to verify the research model. The study found that positive affect can positively predict three types of remote work engagement: the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral engagement of R&D personnel. All three types of remote work engagement of R&D personnel can negatively predict their turnover intention. The results suggest that if human resource managers working in the ICT industry want to reduce the turnover intention rate of R&D workers under pressure from COVID-19, they should enhance workers’ remote engagement by selecting R&D workers with a high level of positive affect.

“…Rare or complex HNCs present numerous challenges in diagnosis and management, which include the scarce confidence in treating especially by community hospitals given the rarity of the disease, complexity of treatment approaches, and high mortality rates. Notwithstanding the potential benefits, some pitfalls of virtual meetings have been pointed out, which include deficits in engagement, teamworking, training in remote settings 8 , delay in receiving supporting information such as imaging and pathology slides and the cost of virtual informatics infrastructure. In addition, where an MDT in presence dispenses opportunities for group education, increases interdisciplinary research collaboration and promotes collective professional fulfillment, we still know little about the impact of a vMDT, especially for HNC.…”

“…It remains, to some extent, subjective. There remain advantages to F2F meetings, including building effective working relationships with all members of the team, a sense of comradery and working together towards a common goal, and an opportunity for dissemination of clinical updates, audit, local research and service developments [11]. The higher rates of difference of opinion seen in the remote paper format may suggest that individual review of cases prior to F2F/virtual MDT may enrich discussion and add to the rigour of the MDT process, although this process would clearly cost more clinician time.…”

What is the role of the multidisciplinary team meeting in primary prolapse surgery and are alternative formats acceptable?

Introduction and hypothesisIn 2019, the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommended discussion of all primary prolapse cases at a multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting prior to surgery. However, following the COVID-19 pandemic, face-to-face meetings were suspended. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of MDT meetings in an observational retrospective review of primary prolapse cases and determine whether alternatives to face-to-face MDT meetings such as virtual and remote paper result in different outcomes. Methods A total of 100 consecutive patients with primary prolapse, who had already been through face-to-face MDT meetings in 2019, were subjected to remote paper (independent review by team members, who then submit a paper outcome to the MDT meeting chair) and a virtual MDT meeting by the same team (blinded). Outcomes included agree, minor amendment (changing the order of priority of the compartment, changing procedure from + to +/−), major amendment (adding/removing a compartment) and insufficient information. MDT outcomes were compared for remote paper, virtual, and face-to-face MDT options. Results In 88% of cases, face-to-face MDT meetings agreed to proceed unchanged (4% minor amendment, 7% major amendment, 1% insufficient information). This compared with 80% at virtual MDT (5% minor amendment, 11% major amendment, 4% insufficient information) and 74% when conducted by remote paper (5% minor amendment, 15% major amendment, 6% insufficient information). There was no significant difference in outcomes among the MDT meeting formats (Chi-squared 7.73, p=0.26). Conclusions Multidisciplinary team discussion changes management in a minority of primary prolapse cases. Similar MDT decisions are produced by virtual and remote paper formats, although the latter had the lowest concordance of opinions.
