  • Racial differences in laboratory testing as a potential mechanism for bias in AI

    Open AccessTrenton Chang, Mark Nuppnau et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    AI models are often trained using available laboratory test results. Racial differences in laboratory testing may bias AI models for clinical decision support, amplifying existing inequities. This study aims to measure the extent of racial differences in laboratory testing in adult emergency department (ED) visits. We conducted a retrospective 1:1 exact-matched cohort study of Black and White adult patients seen in the ED, matching on age, biolog…

  • Evidence of Racial and Geographic Disparities in the Use of Medicare Observation Stays and Subsequent Patient Outcomes Relative to Short-Stay Hospitalizations

    Open AccessB Wright, Xuan Zhang et al.ARTICLEHealth Equity2018

    PURPOSE: To examine racial and geographic disparities in the use of-and outcomes associated with-Medicare observation stays versus short-stay hospitalizations. METHODS: We used 2007-2010 fee-for-service Medicare claims, including 3,555,994 observation and short-stay hospitalizations for individuals over age 65. We estimated linear probability models with hospital fixed effects to identify within-facility disparities in observation stay use, and e…

  • The Affordable Care Act and Emergency Care

    Mark McClelland, Brent Asplin et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2014Referencias: 25

    The Affordable Care Act (ACA) will have far-reaching effects on the way health care is designed and delivered. Several elements of the ACA will directly affect both demand for ED care and expectations for its role in providing coordinated care. Hospitals will need to employ strategies to reduce ED crowding as the ACA expands insurance coverage. Discussions between EDs and primary care physicians about their respective roles providing acute unsche…

  • Does Health Information Exchange Reduce Redundant Imaging? Evidence From Emergency Departments

    Eric J Lammers, Eric Lammers et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2014Referencias: 9

    BACKGROUND: Broad-based electronic health information exchange (HIE), in which patients' clinical data follow them between care delivery settings, is expected to produce large quality gains and cost savings. Although these benefits are assumed to result from reducing redundant care, there is limited supporting empirical evidence. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether HIE adoption is associated with decreases in repeat imaging in emergency departments (E…
