Long-term Outcomes of a 1-year Hypertension Quality Improvement Initiative in a Large Health System
BACKGROUND: Understanding whether practices retain outcomes attained during a quality improvement (QI) initiative can inform resource allocation. OBJECTIVE: We report blood pressure (BP) control and medication intensification in the 3 years after a 2016 QI initiative ended. RESEARCH DESIGN: Retrospective cohort. SUBJECTS: Adults with a diagnosis of hypertension who had a primary care visit in a large-integrated health system between 2015 and 2019…
Reduced Cognitive Burden and Increased Focus

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to understand how scribes impacted provider efficiency and satisfaction. DESIGN: This was mixed-methods study. PARTICIPANTS: Internal and family medicine clinicians were included. MEASURES: We administered struct…

BACKGROUND: Physical therapists (PTs) are consulted to address functional deficits during hospitalization, but the effect of PT visit frequency on patients' outcomes is not clear. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine whether PT visit frequency is independently associated with functional improvement, discharge home, and both outcomes combined. RESEARCH DESIGN: This was a retrospective cohort study. SUBJECTS: Patients discharged fr…

Assessing Years of Life Lost Versus Number of Deaths in the United States, 1995–2015
Objectives. To assess years of life lost to each cause of death in the United States between 1995 and 2015, and compare it with the number of deaths. Methods. We used Vital Statistics mortality data and defined “life-years lost” as remaining life expectancy for each decedent’s age, sex, and race. We calculated the share of life-years lost to each cause of death in each year, and examined reasons for changes. Results. In 2015, heart disease caused…
Improving Nurse-to-Patient Staffing Ratios as a Cost-Effective Safety Intervention
BACKGROUND: Responding to research confirming the link between nurse staffing and patient outcomes, 14 states have introduced legislation to limit patient-to-nurse ratios. However, increased staffing places a considerable financial burden on hospitals. OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine the cost-effectiveness of various nurse staffing ratios. RESEARCH DESIGN: This was a cost-effectiveness analysis from the institutional perspective comparing patie…
