The Family Perspectives Project
While guidelines recommend that families of critically ill patients receive emotional support from intensive care unit (ICU) clinicians, few receive it. To address this gap, we designed the Family Perspectives Project, an intervention that utilizes hospital chaplains to enhance the emotional support that ICU teams provide to families. This study's objective was to refine and preliminarily test the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention…
Defining and conceptualizing equity and justice in climate adaptation
Diverse disciplines are contributing to the growing body of evidence exploring the interaction between climate adaptation and justice and/or equity. As a result, the literature lacks consistency in how the terms equity and justice are applied and defined, challenging efforts to synthesize evidence and translate it into policy and practice. This scoping review aims to investigate the diversity of ways in which climate adaptation researchers concep…
Specific domains of positive childhood experiences (PCEs) associated with improved adult health
Experiencing childhood peer support, a healthy school climate, and neighborhood safety were especially protective against multiple adult health conditions, including for ACE exposed individuals. Interventions that promote PCEs may yield population health gains
Comprehensive Pharmacist-led Transitions-of-care Medication Management around Hospital Discharge Adds Modest Cost Relative to Usual Care
Optimal medication management is important during hospitalization and at discharge because post-discharge adverse drug events (ADEs) are common, often preventable, and contribute to patient harms, healthcare utilization, and costs. Conduct a cost analysis of a comprehensive pharmacist-led transitions-of-care medication management intervention for older adults during and after hospital discharge. Twelve intervention components addressed medication…
Association of neighborhood gentrification and residential moves with hypertension and diabetes control in Los Angeles County, 2014–2019
Gentrification may support-or at least not harm-cardiometabolic health for some residents. City leaders and health systems could partner with impacted communities to ensure that neighborhood development meets the goals and health needs of all residents and does not exacerbate health disparities
Did the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program Reduce Readmissions without Hurting Patient Outcomes at High Dual-Proportion Hospitals Prior to Stratification
Since the implementation of Medicare's Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP), safety-net hospitals have received a disproportionate share of financial penalties for excess readmissions, raising concerns about the fairness of the policy. In response, the HRRP now stratifies hospitals into five quintiles by low-income Medicare (dual Medicare-Medicaid eligible) stay proportion and compares readmission rates within quintiles. To better under…
How Do Clinicians of Different Specialties Perceive and Use Opioid Risk Mitigation Strategies? A Qualitative Study
Background In response to the opioid crisis, states and health systems are encouraging clinicians to use risk mitigation strategies aimed at assessing a patient’s risk for opioid misuse or abuse: opioid agreements, prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs), and urine drug tests (UDT). Objective: The objective of this qualitative study was to understand how clinicians perceived and used risk mitigation strategies for opioid abuse/misuse and id…
Geographic Variation in Medicare Fee-for-Service Health Care Expenditures Before and After the Passage of the Affordable Care Act
Geographic variation in total per-beneficiary Medicare spending fell from 2007 to 2018, with home health spending being a key factor associated with geographic variation. The ACA's value-based payment programs and enhanced integrity efforts in home health provide a possible explanation for the decrease
Trends in the Use of Skilled Nursing Facility and Home Health Care Under the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program
BACKGROUND: Medicare's Hospital Readmission Reduction Program (HRRP) penalizes hospitals with elevated 30-day readmission rates for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart failure (HF), or pneumonia. To reduce readmissions, hospitals may have increased referrals to skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and home health care. RESEARCH DESIGN: Outcomes included 30-day postdischarge utilization of SNF and home health care, including any use as well as d…
Costs of Intravenous Adverse Drug Events in Academic and Nonacademic Intensive Care Units
BACKGROUND: Adverse drug events (ADEs), particularly those involving intravenous medications (IV-ADEs), are common among intensive care unit (ICU) patients and may increase hospitalization costs. Precise cost estimates have not been reported for academic ICUs, and no studies have included nonacademic ICUs. OBJECTIVES: To estimate increases in costs and length of stay after IV-ADEs at an academic and a nonacademic hospital. RESEARCH DESIGN: This s…
