Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Conduct a needs assessment among post-acute and long-term care (PA-LTC) stakeholder groups to identify (1) research topics of highest priority and (2) perspectives on research, including concerns/barriers to conducting research in the PA-LTC setting. Mixed methods multistakeholder engagement process. Needs assessment conducted with tailored strategies per stakeholder group: interview, survey, and focus group. Four stakeholder groups—medical directors/providers (n = 89), administrative leadership (n = 5), frontline staff (n = 17), and family members of residents and residents themselves (n = 11)—were recruited from the Colorado PA-LTC community through an academic-community partnership between the University of Colorado and Colorado Medical Directors Association. Stakeholder perspectives on research and high priority PA-LTC research topics. Research priorities common across stakeholder groups included polypharmacy (overuse of medication generally and overuse of antibiotics specifically), care transitions, mental health (including dementia, Alzheimer's disease, behaviors), chronic pain, urinary tract infection, and quality of life issues. Providers specifically prioritized heart failure, Parkinson's, and other chronic illnesses. Administrators and directors of nurses emphasized hospitalizations. Staff prioritized medication/therapy compliance. Families/residents prioritized neurologic disease. Concerns included staff burden, consenting process, privacy, and family involvement. PA-LTC patients have a lot to offer as participants and decision makers in research, frontline staff are enthusiastic about participation, family members want to be involved, and providers value research findings in their practice but need a more supportive environment to produce and participate in research.
