Emergency Care Access Based on a Proposed CMS National Quality Measure
This cross-sectional study uses a national electronic health record–derived dataset to characterize the proposed Centers for Medicare & Medicaid national quality measure for emergency care access
Ethnic and racial differences in self-reported symptoms, health status, activity level, and missed work at 3 and 6 months following Sars-CoV-2 infection
Introduction: Data on ethnic and racial differences in symptoms and health-related impacts following SARS-CoV-2 infection are limited. We aimed to estimate the ethnic and racial differences in symptoms and health-related impacts 3 and 6 months after the first SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods: = 3,161; 2,402 SARS-CoV-2-positive, 759 SARS-CoV-2-negative). Marginal odds ratios were estimated using GEE logistic regression for individual symptoms, health…

OBJECTIVE: To describe "What Matters" to older adults seeking emergency department (ED) care and to identify patient characteristics associated with meeting desired outcomes. BACKGROUND: As part of the 4Ms framework, identifying "What Matters" has been captured across healthcare settings, yet limited attention has been directed to older adults in the ED. METHODS: We performed a secondary analysis of a multicenter prospective observational study. …
Race, Ethnicity, and Gender Differences in Patient Reported Well-Being and Cognitive Functioning Within 3 Months of Symptomatic Illness During Covid-19 Pandemic
Background Differences in acute COVID-19 associated morbidity based on race, ethnicity, and gender have been well described; however, less is known about differences in subsequent longer term health-related quality of life and well-being. Methods This prospective cohort study included symptomatic adults tested for SARS-CoV-2 who completed baseline and 3-month follow-up surveys. Using the PROMIS-29 tool, a validated measure of health and well-bein…
Consumer Ties and Social Media Consumer Culture in Social Media Networks
The 2018 Merit-based Incentive Payment System
BACKGROUND: The Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) incorporates financial incentives and penalties intended to drive clinicians towards value-based purchasing, including alternative payment models (APMs). Newly available Medicare-approved qualified clinical data registries (QCDRs) offer specialty-specific quality measures for clinician reporting, yet their impact on clinician performance and payment adjustments remains unknown. OBJECTIVE…
Career Development Considerations for Academic Physician Mentees and Mentors in the Time of Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted medical research, pushing mentors and mentees to decide if COVID-19 research would be germane to the early career investigator’s developing research portfolio. With COVID-19 halting hundreds of federal trials involving non–COVID-19 research, mentors and mentees must also consider the broader moral calling of contributing to COVID-19 research. At the time of writing, the National Institutes of Health had respond…
Urban and Rural Emergency Department Performance on National Quality Metrics for Sepsis Care in the United States
PURPOSE: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) developed national quality measures for emergency department (ED) sepsis care. Like care for many conditions, meeting sepsis quality metrics can vary between settings. We sought to examine and compare sepsis care quality in rural vs urban hospital-based EDs. METHODS: We analyzed data from EDs participating in the national Emergenc…

Hospital Characteristics Associated With Postdischarge Hospital Readmission, Observation, and Emergency Department Utilization
BACKGROUND: Whether types of hospitals with high readmission rates also have high overall postdischarge acute care utilization (including emergency department and observation care) is unknown. DESIGN: Cross-sectional analysis. SUBJECTS: Nonfederal United States acute care hospitals. MEASURES: Using methodology established by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, we calculated each hospital's "excess days in acute care" for fee-for-service…
Fashion in consumer culture
This chapter focuses on clothing and personal adornment and appearance, what role they play in the daily lives of fashion-conscious consumers, and the breadth of their exposure to fellow consumers. It discusses fashion as a process in which the fashion system and object as well as fashion-related behaviors are aesthetic representations embedded in consumer culture. Fashion-related behavior can represent a conscious effort to be socially provocati…
Social media consumer as digital avatar
Social media is practically the first instance in the history of human communication that both organizations and their constituencies are able to share equally and communicate with each other in the same interaction space. Research on social media shows that scholars and critics are pursuing a wide range of topics regarding social media users and their activities. The chapter provides a preliminary analysis of the social media culture and social …
Refugee Resettlement Patterns and State-Level Health Care Insurance Access in the United States
We sought to evaluate the relationship between state-level implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) and resettlement patterns among refugees. We linked federal refugee resettlement data to ACA expansion data and found that refugee resettlement rates are not significantly different according to state-level insurance expansion or cost. Forty percent of refugees have resettled to states without Medicaid expansion. The w…
Hospital Use of Observation Stays
BACKGROUND: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services publicly reports hospital risk-standardized readmission rates (RSRRs) as a measure of quality and performance; mischaracterizations may occur because observation stays are not captured by current measures. OBJECTIVES: To describe variation in hospital use of observation stays, the relationship between hospitals observation stay use and RSRRs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cross-sectional analysi…
Regaining control through reclamation
We examine the process of subcultural commodification where group meanings of a Japanese youth consumer subculture (i.e. Harajuku) are created, fragmented, and then commodified by the mainstream culture. We consider the role of authenticity in subcultures and specifically what it means to reclaim meanings and group identity after commodification. Using a multi-method ethnographic approach, we explore how a subculture reacts when faced with co-opt…

Variation in US Hospital Emergency Department Admission Rates by Clinical Condition
BACKGROUND: Variation in hospitalization rates have been described for decades, yet little is known about variation in emergency department (ED) admission rates across clinical conditions. We sought to describe variation in ED risk-standardized admission rates (RSAR) and the consistency between condition-specific ED admission rates within hospitals. METHODS: Cross-sectional analysis of the 2009 National Emergency Department Sample, an all-payer a…
Fast Fashion, Sustainability, and the Ethical Appeal of Luxury Brands
The phrase "fast fashion" refers to low-cost clothing collections that mimic current luxury fashion trends. Fast fashion helps sate deeply held desires among young consumers in the industrialized world for luxury fashion, even as it embodies unsustainability. Trends run their course with lightning speed, with today's latest styles swiftly trumping yesterday's, which have already been consigned to the trash bin. This article addresses the inherent…

The aesthetics of consumption and the consumer as an aesthetic subject
This paper examines aesthetics in everyday consumption practices and patterns. Combining aesthetic theory with prior work of consumer scholars to support our theoretical framework, we investigate empirically the following issues: the integration of aesthetics into everyday consumption, the distinction between everyday aesthetics and of the arts, and the relationship between aestheti cs and the construction of meaning and identity. In addition, we…
Civil Society and Cyber Society
A healthy civil society has long been held as vital to a healthy democracy and there is interest in whether the Internet affects this linkage. This paper explores the relationships between offline and online modes of associational life and also analyzes offline and online interactions with local governments in the US context. Based on our empirical analyses of 1,203 respondents, we show that online participation is not simply an extension of offl…
Postmodern Consumption
The origins of postmodernism cannot be traced to a single source or set of circumstances. At first glance, the different trails may appear diffused, disparate, and disconnected. A closer look might reveal a common pattern woven by those different threads. Postmodernism is generally viewed as a reaction against or rejection of modernist tendencies in philosophy, social and cultural theory, literature, and politics (Featherstone 1991). Postmodernis…

Liberatory Postmodernism and the Reenchantment of Consumption
In this article, we elaborate on various key ideas about consumption and consumer from a theoretical position that we have labeled “liberatory postmodernism.” By unmasking the limitations of modernism that have to do with the onerous nature of its metanarratives and narrow conventionalism, we show that postmodern developments offer alternate visions of consumption processes that have an emancipatory potential. The analysis in our article begins w…

Business Beyond Modernity
For this first issue we invited a number of contributors to 'speak out' about their potential agendas for a field of study called organization studies and thus a journal such as Organization. We asked for short pieces, each focusing on a particular issue of importance to its author. We also wanted pieces untrammelled by normal academic conventions. The authors were to feel free to speak as speculatively, provocatively, passionately, as they chose
