Commentary on Burns, Nembhard and Shortell, “Integrating network theory into the study of integrated healthcare”
A Multi-site Case Study of Care Coordination Between Primary Care and Specialty Care
BACKGROUND: Care coordination is critical for patients with multiple chronic conditions, but fragmentation of care persists. Providers' perspectives of facilitators and barriers to coordination are needed to improve care. OBJECTIVES: We sought to understand providers' perspectives on care coordination for patients having multiple chronic diseases served by multiple providers. RESEARCH DESIGN: Based upon our earlier survey of patients with multipl…
Medicaid Expansion and Change in Federally Qualified Health Center Accessibility From 2008 to 2016
BACKGROUND: The Affordable Care Act expanded health coverage for low-income residents through Medicaid expansion and increased funding for Health Center Program New Access Points from 2009 to 2015, improving federally qualified health center (FQHC) accessibility. The extent to which these provisions progressed synergistically as intended when states could opt out of Medicaid expansion is unknown. OBJECTIVE: To compare change in FQHC accessibility…

A Mixed Methods Study of the Association of Non-Veterans Affairs Care With Veterans’ and Clinicians’ Experiences of Care Coordination
BACKGROUND: Poor coordination between the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and non-VA care may negatively impact health care quality. Recent legislation is intended to increase Veterans' access to care, in part through increased use of non-VA care. However, a possible consequence may be diminished patient experiences of coordination. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine VA patients' and clinicians' experiences of coordinatio…
The Role of Organizational Factors in the Provision of Comprehensive Women's Health in the Veterans Health Administration
What Works in Readmissions Reduction
BACKGROUND: Hospitals across the United States are pursuing strategies to reduce avoidable readmissions but the evidence on how best to accomplish this goal is mixed, with no specific clinical practice shown to reduce readmissions consistently. Changes to hospital organizational practices, a key component of context, also may be critical to improving performance on readmissions, but this has not been studied. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was …

Management Success as a Function of Performance on Specialized Cognitive Tests
The importance of specialized cognitive function attributed to the right or left cerebral hemispheres is demonstrated for performance of management level jobs. The results are a first step to validate the often-repeated notion that managers should have good right hemisphere skills to manage effectively, especially for complex jobs. This series of studies employs a valid measure of cognitive function attributed to the hemispheres of the brain and …
The Task Field Model Of Organization Analysis and Design
Although complex organizations have multiple goals and many times these cannot be prioritized, no framework of organization design explicitly ac-knowledges these facts or handles the inherent organization design con-flicts. The task field model of organization proposed in this paper provides a framework for handling the multiple goals and their associated organi-zational requirements. It can be used in organization analysis, design, and change pr…
