Differences in health state valuation for small, low-risk thyroid cancer between general population and cancer survivors
For 10 low-risk thyroid cancer health states, GenPop reported significantly lower health utilities than TCSurv. Health economists and healthcare delivery scientists should be aware of these differences when integrating health utilities into comparative-effectiveness research
Women’s Health Information-Seeking Experiences and Preferences for Health Communications on FDA-Regulated Products
A key part of any effort to ensure informed health care decision-making among the public is access to reliable and relevant health-related information. We conducted focus groups with women from three generations across the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area to explore their information-seeking motivations, perceptions, challenges, and preferences regarding three FDA-regulated products: drugs, vaccines, and medical devices. The youngest genera…
Community-Academic Partnerships for Health Research
Developing the business case for mutual trustworthiness to be better prepared for future pandemics and public health crises may foster more sustainable community-academic partnerships. Using a Business Model Canvas, we delineate the major components, activities, and value propositions that are needed to achieve authentic community-academic partnerships to advance health equity
Similar values, different expectations
INTRODUCTION: No one can argue on the importance of health in one's life. However, the value of health in the context of other priorities for individuals is not always as clear. Further, patients' experience with the healthcare system is rarely contrasted with the service providers' expectations. The aim of this paper is to examine and compare patients' and providers' own definitions of health and their perceptions of the healthcare delivery expe…
Attitudes Toward a Pre-authorized Concealed Opioid Taper
Standard opioid tapers tend to be associated with increased patient anxiety and higher pain ratings. Pre-authorized concealed opioid reductions may minimize expectations such as fear of increased pain due to the reduction of opioids and, prolong analgesic benefits in experimental settings. We recently observed that patients and clinicians are open to concealed opioid tapering. However, little is known about the "why" behind their attitudes. Based…
Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards 2022 (CHEERS 2022) statement
Health economic evaluations are comparative analyses of alternative courses of action in terms of their costs and consequences. The Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards (CHEERS) statement, published in 2013, was created to ensure health economic evaluations are identifiable, interpretable, and useful for decision making. It was intended as guidance to help authors report accurately which health interventions were being comp…
Operation PCOR
Due to the dearth of veteran-centered research, gaining the unique perspective of veterans’ engagement in research is essential to address their health needs. Veterans have expressed desire in shaping treatment options for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), however many veterans are hesitant to engage in the research enterprise. This community engagement project was designed to train veterans as full partners and join forces with researchers …
Are Communities Willing to Transition Into Learning Health Care Communities? A Community-Based Participatory Evaluation of Stakeholders' Receptivity
This article aims to determine receptivity for advancing the Learning Healthcare System (LHS) model to a novel evidence-based health care delivery framework-Learning Health Care Community (LHCC)-in Baltimore, as a model for a national initiative. Using community-based participatory, qualitative approach, we conducted 16 in-depth interviews and 15 focus groups with 94 participants. Two independent coders thematically analyzed the transcripts.

Participation and consultation engagement strategies have complementary roles
BACKGROUND: Patient and public involvement (PPI) is recommended when developing high-quality clinical practice guidelines, but the effects of different PPI strategies are largely unstudied. OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of participation and consultation strategies on guideline question development. DESIGN: Instrumental case study design. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: This study used a clinical practice guideline in development by the American Acade…
Framework for enhancing clinical practice guidelines through continuous patient engagement
BACKGROUND: Patient engagement in clinical practice guideline (CPG) development is recommended by multiple institutions and instruments measuring guideline quality. Approaches to engaging patients, however, vary between oversight organizations, quality tools and guideline developers. OBJECTIVE: We propose a ten-step framework outlining steps and options for patient engagement in guideline development with the goal of highlighting steps for patien…

Tree-based Claims Algorithm for Measuring Pretreatment Quality of Care in Medicare Disabled Hepatitis C Patients
BACKGROUND: To help broaden the use of machine-learning approaches in health services research, we provide an easy-to-follow framework on the implementation of random forests and apply it to identify quality of care (QC) patterns correlated with treatment receipt among Medicare disabled patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV). METHODS: Using Medicare claims 2006-2009, we identified 1936 patients with 6 months continuous enrollment before HCV diagno…
Algorithm for Identifying Chemotherapy/Biological Regimens for Metastatic Colon Cancer in Seer-Medicare
BACKGROUND: Metastatic colon cancer (mCC) patients often receive multiple lines of chemotherapy/biological treatment (TX), yet subsequent TX lines have not been sufficiently examined using SEER-Medicare data. We developed an algorithm that identifies the number and type of TX lines received by mCC patients. METHODS: The algorithm rules for detecting TX lines were developed a priori and applied to SEER-Medicare data for 7951 elderly mCC patients, …
