Assessing Patient Safety Culture in United States Hospitals
A positive patient safety culture plays a major role in reducing medical errors and increasing productivity among healthcare staff. Furthermore, understanding staff perceptions of patient safety culture and effective patient safety factors is a first step toward enhancing quality of care and patient safety. The objectives of this study were to assess patient safety culture in hospitals in the United States and to investigate the effects of hospit…
Effect of Hand Hygiene Intervention in Community Kindergartens
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of hand hygiene interventions on the overall hand hygiene (HH) status of teaching instruction of hand hygiene in kindergartens, given the vulnerability of kindergarten children and their high risk due to infectious diseases and the current COVID-19 epidemic. We investigated the HH status of teachers from two kindergartens in the same community. The participants were recruited from 28 classes in both kinderg…
Variations in Influenza and Pneumonia Immunizations for Medicare Beneficiaries Served by Rural Health Clinics
Understanding Predatory Organised Crime through Network Governance Theory
The objective of this article is twofold: first, to examine the meaning of predatory organised crime (POC), which is defined according to the network governance theory, and, second, to identify the key elements that POC groups need in order to start, grow and expand. POC is a type of organised crime that occurs mostly in developing countries and that feeds on fraud, financial blackmail and shakedowns. This practice imposes heavy financial costs a…
Reliability Estimates of Clinical Measures Between Minimum Data Set and Online Survey Certification and Reporting Data of US Nursing Homes
BACKGROUND: Evidence-based quality improvement in nursing homes relies heavily on administrative data. Minimum Data Set (MDS) and Online Survey Certification and Reporting (OSCAR) are the 2 largest sources of national nursing home administrative data. Although clinical measures in each of the data systems have frequently and independently been used to measure nursing home performance, no study has systematically examined their relative reliabilit…

The Effect of Managed Care on Health Services Use by Dually Eligible Elders
This study examined the effect of a managed-care demonstration program on use of health services by a dually eligible elderly population. Our analysis of utilization data generated from a survey of Medicaid-Medicare beneficiaries in two California counties revealed that utilization behavior of the two study groups did not differ significantly, with two exceptions. The beneficiaries in the demonstration group made more frequent visits to community…

Factors Affecting the Use of Social and Health Services Among the Elderly
This study has systematically examined the use of health and social services among non-institutionalized elderly people according to the Andersen model which groups factors influencing use into predisposing, enabling and need variables. Need for service as evidenced by physical and psychological functioning was the most important predictor of use of physician services and hospitalization. Predisposing factors had the most effect on use of dental …
Effects and Costs of Day-Care Services for the Chronically Ill
Two long-term care settings not now covered by Medicare--adult day care and homemaker services--were studied in a randomized experiment to test the effects on patient outcomes and costs of using these new services. This article reports findings for day care. Patients' physical, psychosocial and health functions were assessed quarterly, and their Medicare bill files were obtained. Medicaid data were obtained on most patients, but few used many Med…
Factors associated with increased dental care utilization in five urban, low-income areas
Survey data were used to measure change in dental utilization in five urban low-income areas as a result of increased financial (Medicaid) and facility (community health centers) access to dental care. The average annual dental visit between the baseline and follow-up surveys showed a dramatic increase in four of the five survey areas. With the exception of Roxbury, Massachusetts, where the rate was already high in the earlier survey, the dental …
Differential Access to Preventive Services for Young Children in Low-Income Urban Areas
This study, based on a community health survey of populations in five low-income urban areas, examines the use of selected preventive services of preschool children. It is postulated that there are social differences in access to varying health-care facilities. Consequently, the level of preventive services utilized varies from group to group. Multivariate statistical analyses were performedfor the 2,063 children to determine the relative influen…
Effects of social epidemiological factors on the severity of disability for white and nonwhite disabled
Determinants of Physician Utilization
The relative importance of the determinants of physician utilization was examined using data obtained from a community health survey of 2,168 households in five New York and Pennsylvania counties. Eighteen variables, including individual and organizational attributes, were selected to determine the causal ordering of these variables in predicting use of physicians' services. It wasfound that the needfor care, average cost per visit, health insura…
