  • Leveraging PCORnet® to Advance Clinical Genetics and the Genomic Learning Health System

    Open AccessRussell L Rothman, Josh Peterson et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2026Referencias: 33

    BACKGROUND: Scientific advances and cost efficiencies in genetics and genomics are expanding clinical application for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. OBJECTIVE: PCORnet®, a research network that includes participation from 78 health systems nationally and is linked to more than 47 million unique patients with at least one encounter annually, can help (1) understand the ability of genetics/genomics to predict health outcomes, (2) identify di…

  • Learning From What We Do, and Doing What We Learn

    Christopher J Lindsell, Cheryl L Gatto et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2021

    Different models of learning health systems are emerging. At Vanderbilt University Medical Center, the Learning Health Care System (LHS) Platform was established with the goal of creating generalizable knowledge. This differentiates the LHS Platform from other efforts that have adopted a quality improvement paradigm. By supporting pragmatic trials at the intersection of research, operations, and clinical care, the LHS Platform was designed to yie…

  • Should We Implement Geographic or Patient-Reported Social Determinants of Health Measures in Cardiovascular Patients

    Sophia Kostelanetz, Chiara Di Gravio et al.ARTICLEEthnicity & Disease2021

    The Brokamp ADI is associated with mortality in hospitalized patients with CVD. In the absence of available patient-reported data, hospitals could implement the Brokamp ADI as an approximation for patient-reported data to enhance risk stratification of patients with CVD

  • Implementation and Sustainability of a Pharmacy-Led, Hospital-Wide Bedside Medication Delivery Program

    Open AccessBeth Prusaczyk, Amanda S Mixon et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2020

    Background: Few studies of hospital-based implementation assess sustainability or collect formal implementation outcomes, in part because the emphasis is often on initial adoption and rapid cycles of improvement. The purpose of this process evaluation was to assess the implementation of a pharmacy-led, hospital-wide program and contribute to the literature by collecting formal implementation outcomes, including sustainability. Methods: This was a…

  • Can Precision Medicine Actually Help People Like Me? African American and Hispanic Perspectives on the Benefits and Barriers of Precision Medicine

    Vivian M Yeh, Erin M Bergner et al.ARTICLEEthnicity & Disease2020

    While these groups believed precision medicine might yield benefits for health outcomes, they are also skeptical about whether African Americans and Hispanics would actually benefit from precision medicine given current structural limitations and disparities in health care access and quality

  • Impact of a Follow-up Telephone Call Program on 30-Day Readmissions (Futr-30)

    Maame Yaa A B Yiadom, Henry J Domenico et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2020Referencias: 28

    BACKGROUND: Telephone call programs are a common intervention used to improve patients' transition to outpatient care after hospital discharge. OBJECTIVE: To examine the impact of a follow-up telephone call program as a readmission reduction initiative. RESEARCH DESIGN: Pragmatic randomized controlled real-world effectiveness trial. SUBJECTS: We enrolled and randomized all patients discharged home from a hospital general medicine service to a fol…

  • Patterns of multimorbidity associated with 30-day readmission

    Open AccessCarole E Aubert, Jeffrey L Schnipper et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    Readmission was associated with the number of chronic diseases or body systems involved and with specific combinations of diseases categories. The number of body systems involved may be a particularly interesting measure of the risk for readmission in multimorbid patients

  • Randomized controlled trial of a pictorial aid intervention for medication adherence among HIV-positive patients with comorbid diabetes or hypertension

    Anne K Monroe, J S Pena et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2018

    As the HIV-infected population ages and the burden of chronic comorbidities increases, adherence to medications for HIV and diabetes and hypertension is crucial to improve outcomes. We pilot-tested a pictorial aid intervention to improve medication adherence for both HIV and common chronic conditions. Adult patients with HIV and diabetes (DM) and/or hypertension (HTN) attending a clinic for underserved patients and at risk for poor health outcome…

  • Something Old, Something New

    Open AccessKatharine M Donato, Marcos Santos Gómez et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health and Social…2018Citada por: 4Referencias: 75

    This paper investigates how social support differentially benefits self-rated health among men and women hospitalized with heart disease. Using cross-sectional data about patients admitted to a university hospital, we examine the extent to which gender moderates effects for the frequency of contact with family, friends, and neighbors on health and whether these effects differ between those with new versus established diagnoses. We find that gende…

  • The Hospital Score Predicts Potentially Preventable 30-Day Readmissions in Conditions Targeted by the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program

    Robert E Burke, Robert Burke et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2017Referencias: 28

    BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: New tools to accurately identify potentially preventable 30-day readmissions are needed. The HOSPITAL score has been internationally validated for medical inpatients, but its performance in select conditions targeted by the Hospital Readmission Reduction Program (HRRP) is unknown. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Six geographically diverse medical centers. PARTICIPANTS/EXPOSURES: All consecutive adult medical pa…

  • Association of Health Literacy With Elevated Blood Pressure

    Candace D McNaughton, Sunil Kripalani et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2014Referencias: 1

    BACKGROUND: The clinical consequences of low health literacy are not fully understood. OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the relationship between low health literacy and elevated blood pressure (BP) at hospital presentation. RESEARCH DESIGN AND SUBJECTS: We conducted a cross-sectional evaluation of adult patients hospitalized at a university hospital between November 1, 2010 and April 30, 2012. MEASURES: Health literacy was assessed using the Brief Health…

  • Illustrated medication instructions as a strategy to improve medication management among Latinos

    Open AccessArun V Mohan, Arun Mohan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2013Citada por: 3Referencias: 25

    Although illustrated medication instructions may improve medication management among vulnerable populations, little prior research has evaluated their use among Latinos. We conducted focus groups and interviews with Latino patients with diabetes at two safety net clinics in Tennessee to understand medication taking practices and perceptions of illustrated medication instructions. Patients reported confidence in being able to take medications, but…

  • Risk Prediction Models for Hospital Readmission

    Devan Kansagara, Honora Englander et al.ARTICLEJAMA2011

    CONTEXT: Predicting hospital readmission risk is of great interest to identify which patients would benefit most from care transition interventions, as well as to risk-adjust readmission rates for the purposes of hospital comparison. OBJECTIVE: To summarize validated readmission risk prediction models, describe their performance, and assess suitability for clinical or administrative use. DATA SOURCES AND STUDY SELECTION: The databases of MEDLINE,…

  • Development and Implementation of a Health Literacy Training Program for Medical Residents

    Open AccessSunil Kripalani, Kara L Jacobson et al.ARTICLEMedical Education Online2006

    Nearly 50 percent of Americans lack the literacy skills needed to function effectively in today's health care environment. Experts recommend that health professionals be trained to better communicate with low-literacy patients, but few educational programs have been described. We developed a training program for medical residents that includes a videotaped standardized patient encounter, interactive small-group workshop, one-on-one feedback with …
