Healthy Davis Together
While many higher-education institutions dramatically altered their operations and helped mitigate COVID-19 transmission on campuses, these efforts were rarely fully extended to surrounding communities. A community pandemic-response program was launched in a college town that deployed epidemiological infection-control measures and health behavior change interventions. An increase in self-reported preventive health behaviors and a lower relative c…
Changes in Depressive Symptoms and Mortality in Patients With Heart Failure
OBJECTIVES: Depression is an independent predictor of adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF). However, the effect of changes in cognitive-affective and somatic symptoms on mortality of HF patients is not known. The purpose of this study was to examine whether changes in cognitive-affective and somatic depressive symptoms over time were associated with mortality in HF. METHODS: In this secondary analysis of data from the Rural Educat…

Rural Versus Suburban Primary Care Needs, Utilization, and Satisfaction With Telepsychiatric Consultation
Context and Purpose: Rural and suburban populations remain underserved in terms of psychiatric services but have not been compared directly in terms of using telepsychiatry. Methods: Patient demographics, reasons for consultation, diagnosis, and alternatives to telepsychiatric consultation were collected for 200 consecutive, first‐time telepsychiatric consultations at rural and suburban clinics. Findings: Rural patients were more likely than subu…
The palliative care in assisted living (PCAL) pilot study
Perceptions of Local Health Care Quality in 7 Rural Communities with Telemedicine
CONTEXT: Rural health services are difficult to maintain because of low patient volumes, limited numbers of providers, and unfavorable economies of scale. Rural patients may perceive poor quality in local health care, directly impacting the sustainability of local health care services. PURPOSE: This study examines perceptions of local health care quality in 7 rural, underserved communities where telemedicine was implemented. This study also asses…
Reducing the Cost of Frequent Hospital Admissions for Congestive Heart Failure
BACKGROUND: The high cost of caring for patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) results primarily from frequent hospital readmissions for exacerbations. Home nurse visits after discharge can reduce readmissions, but the intervention costs are high. OBJECTIVES: To compare the effectiveness of three hospital discharge care models for reducing CHF-related readmission charges: 1) home telecare delivered via a 2-way video-conference device with a…
Access to maternity care in rural Washington
OBJECTIVES: This study sought to ascertain the effects of poor local access to obstetric care on the risks of having a neonate diagnosed as non-normal, a long hospital stay, and/or high hospital charges. METHODS: Washington State birth certificates linked with hospital discharge abstracts of mothers and neonates were used to study 29809 births to residents of rural areas. Births to women from rural areas where more than two thirds of the women le…
Access to obstetric care in rural areas
Hospital discharge data from 33 rural hospital service areas in Washington State were categorized by the extent to which patients left their local communities for obstetrical services. Women from communities with relatively few obstetrical providers in proportion to number of births were less likely to deliver in their local community hospital than women in rural communities with greater numbers of physicians practicing obstetrics in proportion t…
The Impact of Obstetrical Liability on Access to Perinatal Care in the Rural United States
Liability issues have caused large numbers of obstetrical providers, particularly family and general practitioners, to discontinue offering perinatal care in rural areas. Losses of even small numbers of rural obstetrical providers can severely limit access to care for large geographic areas. A lack of access to local obstetrical care can result in less than adequate prenatal care and in potential delays in the diagnosis and care of acute perinata…
