Family Practices in Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative Showed No Changes in Medicare Costs or Utilization
BACKGROUND: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services proposed that the Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative (TCPI) would improve health outcomes for patients, reduce utilization of institutional services, and generate significant savings for payers by the end of September 2019. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate whether participation in TCPI's Practice Transformation Networks (PTNs) was associated with improved c…
Patient-Physician Racial Concordance Associated with Improved Healthcare Use and Lower Healthcare Expenditures in Minority Populations
Incorporating machine learning and social determinants of health indicators into prospective risk adjustment for health plan payments
ML improved risk adjustment models and the incorporation of SDH indicators reduced underpayment in several vulnerable populations
Status of underrepresented minority and female faculty at medical schools located within Historically Black Colleges and in Puerto Rico
Women and African Americans are better represented in faculty and leadership positions at HBCU, and women and Latino/Hispanics at PR medical schools, than they are at allopathic peer institutions
Which Family Physicians Work Routinely With Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants or Certified Nurse Midwives
PURPOSE: Facing rising numbers of insured with implementation of the Affordable Care Act, policy makers are interested in building teams of providers that can accommodate a growing demand for primary care services. Nurse Practitioners (NPs), Physician Assistants (PAs), and Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs) already augment the physician workforce, particularly in rural areas. Our objective was to determine what physician and areal-level characterist…
Proximity of providers: Colocating behavioral health and primary care and the prospects for an integrated workforce
Integrated behavioral health and primary care is emerging as a superior means by which to address the needs of the whole person, but we know neither the extent nor the distribution of integration. Using the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) Downloadable File, this study reports where colocation exists for (a) primary care providers and any behavioral health provider and (b) primary c…
Measures of Social Deprivation That Predict Health Care Access and Need within a Rational Area of Primary Care Service Delivery
OBJECTIVE: To develop a measure of social deprivation that is associated with health care access and health outcomes at a novel geographic level, primary care service area. DATA SOURCES/STUDY SETTING: Secondary analysis of data from the Dartmouth Atlas, AMA Masterfile, National Provider Identifier data, Small Area Health Insurance Estimates, American Community Survey, Area Resource File, and Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance System. Data were …
Rural–urban comparison of contextual associations with self-reported mental health status
Rurality, Gender, and Mental Health Treatment
Mental health problems are common and costly, yet many individuals with these problems either do not receive care or receive care that is inadequate. Gender and place of residence contribute to disparities in the use of mental health services. The objective of this study was to identify the influence of gender and rurality on mental health services utilization by using more sensitive indices of rurality. Pooled data from 4 panels of the Medical E…
Effects of Poverty and Maternal Depression on Early Child Development
Researchers have renewed an interest in the harmful consequences of poverty on child development. This study builds on this work by focusing on one mechanism that links material hardship to child outcomes, namely the mediating effect of maternal depression. Using data from the National Maternal and Infant Health Survey, we found that maternal depression and poverty jeopardized the development of very young boys and girls, and to a certain extent,…
The Enemy Within: Black-White Differences in Fatalism and Joblessness
There is an emergent consensus that the disposition of Black young men is an important determinant of their labor market troubles. The problem, we are told, is not labor market discrimination but the fatalistic attitudes (the “enemy within”) held by many Black youth. This article uses data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) to examine race differences in fatalism and joblessness. I find that the greater fatalism of Blacks is ex…
Are Young Black Men Really Less Willing to Work
The author argues against the popular view that young black men experience more joblessness than their white counterparts because they have priced themselves out of the labor market. The seemingly excessive reservation wages of jobless young black men, what they report as the lowest acceptable wage offer, are best understood as measures of self-worth, not of willingness (or lack of willingness) to work. Using self-reported reservation wages avail…
Legal Ambiguity and the Politics of Compliance: Affirmative Action Officers' Dilemma
Equal employment opportunity and affirmative action mandates, like many other laws regulating organizations, do not clearly define what constitutes compliance. Thus compliance depends largely on the initiative and agenda of those persons within organizations who are charged with managing the compliance effort: in the case of civil rights, “affirmative action officers.” This paper draws on case studies of affirmative action officers to suggest tha…
