Revisiting the effects of state anesthesia policy interventions
AIMS: Rural hospitals in the United States often rely on nonphysician providers such as advanced practice nurses to care for their patients. One important role that is served by advanced practice nurses is that of anesthesia provider (certified registered nurse anesthetist or CRNA). In 2001, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) passed an opt-out law affording state governors the right to loosen physician supervision requirements on CRNA…
Covid-19 and nurse practitioner autonomy
One understudied aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic is the opportunity it provided for nurse practitioners (NPs) to practice autonomously and therefore professionalise. We undertake a quantitative analysis to understand how the pandemic impacted scope of practice laws governing NPs in the United States. We find that NPs were newly granted at least temporary autonomy in 22 US states, and that those policy changes were associated with increasing COVID…

Addressing Provider Shortages in Rural America
BACKGROUND: Shortages of anesthesia providers in rural areas have long resulted in access limitations in many US states. This situation prompted federal legislation designed to promote increased usage of certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) in hospitals. Starting in 2001, state governors were afforded the option to adopt "opt-out" provisions, giving facilities in their states flexibility in utilizing CRNAs; specifically, adopting the o…
Provider Bias in prescribing opioid analgesics
Providers tend to prescribe fewer opioids during constrained diagnostic situations and undertreat pain for patients from high-risk and marginalized demographic groups. Potential harms resulting from previous treatment decisions may accumulate by informing future treatment decisions
A new kind of gatekeeper
Case management is a representation of managed care, cost-containment organizational practices in healthcare, where managed care and its constitutive parts are situated against physician autonomy and decision-making. As a professional field, case management has evolved considerably, with the role recently taken up increasingly by Advanced Practice Nurses in various health care settings. We look at this evolution of a relatively new work task for …
Physician dominance in the 21st century
Theories of physician dominance are a foundational contribution of medical sociology to the study of health care, but must be revisited in the light of ongoing changes in medicine. As non-physician specialists like nurse practitioners grow in number and acquire more autonomy, increasing medical profession differentiation presents a challenge for traditional physician dominance theories. After evaluating potential theoretical explanations for subo…
Cultural Guides, Cultural Critics
Research on relationships and health often interprets culture as the passively transmitted 'content' of social ties, an approach that overlooks the influence of cultural resources on relationships themselves. I propose that mental health patients seek social support partly based on cultural resources held by their network members, including members' medical knowledge and beliefs. I test hypotheses using data from the Indianapolis Network Mental H…

Layoffs and violence revisited
Extension of frustration‐aggression theory suggests both the “provocation hypothesis” (laid‐off workers are at elevated risk of psychogenic violence) and the “inhibition hypothesis” (workers who fear job loss will be at reduced risk of such violence). Previous research found that both hypotheses were supported with data indexing layoffs and the incidence of civil commitment for danger to others in San Francisco County, California, for the 52 week…
Psychiatric Emergencies
Federal income support to persons with alcohol and drug related disabilities was ended in 1997. The argument for ending the programs was that recipients were using their benefits to purchase drugs and alcohol. This supposedly led to the "check effect," an increase in psychiatric emergencies in American communities in the days following the receipt of disability benefits. We test two hypotheses implied by this argument. The first is that psychiatr…
A model of the net effect of job loss on violence
The authors extend frustration-aggression theory to hypothesize that increasing frequency of layoffs has countervailing influences on violence depending on how many people lose jobs compared to how many fear job loss. The authors offer a model that estimates the net effect of these processes on the incidence of violence in a community. The model specifies a parabolic function in which small increases in layoffs are associated with increased incid…
A Time-Series Test of the Quarantine Theory of Involuntary Commitment
Persons believed to be mentally ill and imminently violent are often subjected to coerced treatment. Among the justifications for this practice is the argument that removing such people from the community is analogous to quarantine. We test the quarantine theory using daily data from San Francisco. Results suggest that the incidence of coerced treatment of males is inversely related to assaults and batteries by males one day later. The finding im…
