Clinic Appointment Attendance in Adults with Serious Mental Illness and Diabetes
Information on clinical and demographic characteristics and factors potentially modifiable by psychological interventions may be useful in improving adherence to treatment among SMI-DM patients. It is our hope that clinicians and researchers will use these results to help tailor adherence-facilitating interventions among people at particular risk for poor engagement in care
Barriers to Self-management of Serious Mental Illness and Diabetes
Care approaches that provide social support, help in managing stress, optimize communication with providers, and reduce compartmentalization of medical and psychiatric care are needed to help these vulnerable individuals avoid health complications and premature mortality
Practice Variation Among Hospitals in Revascularization Therapy and Its Association With Procedure-related Mortality
BACKGROUND: While substantial practice variation in coronary revascularization has been described and deviation from clinical practice guidelines has been associated with worse outcomes, the degree to which this is driven by flawed decision making and/or appropriate deviation associated with comorbid conditions is unknown. We evaluated heterogeneity in procedure use, and the extent to which hospital-level practice variation is related to surgical…
Playing the numbers: How hepatitis C patients create meaning and make healthcare decisions from medical test results
In this article we describe how patients assign meanings to medical test results and use these meanings to justify their actions. Evidence is presented from lay interpretations of medical tests for monitoring hepatitis C viral infection (HCV) to show how numeracy becomes embodied in the absence of physical symptoms. Illness narratives from 307 individuals infected with HCV were collected from the internet and analysed qualitatively. As part of st…
Alcohol Consumption Decisions Among Nonabusing Drinkers Diagnosed with Hepatitis C: An Exploratory Sequential Mixed Methods Study
Most studies of decisions to curtail alcohol consumption reflect experiences of abusing drinkers. We employ an exploratory sequential research design to explore the applicability of this research to the experience of nonabusing drinkers advised to curtail alcohol consumption after a Hepatitis C diagnosis. A qualitative component identified 17 new decision factors not reflected in an inventory of factors based on synthesis of existing scales. We t…
Rehabilitation Services After the Implementation of the Nursing Home Prospective Payment System: Differences Related to Patient and Nursing Home Characteristics
BACKGROUND: The prospective payment system (PPS) for nursing homes was designed to curtail the rapid expansion of Medicare costs for skilled nursing care. This study examines the changes that occurred in nursing home patients and rehabilitation services following the PPS. SETTING: Free-standing Medicare and/or Medicaid certified nursing homes in Ohio. PRIMARY OUTCOMES: The percent of new admissions receiving therapy and the amount of rehabilitati…
Generalists and Oncologists Show Similar Care Practices and Outcomes for Hospitalized Late-Stage Cancer Patients
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this work was to identify similarities and differences in primary attending physicians' (generalists' versus oncologists') care practices and outcomes for seriously ill hospitalized patients with malignancy. DESIGN: This was a prospective cohort study (SUPPORT project). SETTING: Subjects were recruited from 5 US teaching hospitals; data were gathered from 1989 to 1994. SUBJECTS: Included in the study was a matched samp…
Effect of an Academic Group Practice on Patient Show Rates: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Ambulatory medical clinics at academic centers are reputed to be expensive, inefficient, and poorly regarded by the medical residents who staff them. In an effort to address these problems, some centers have reorganized their traditional clinics into group practices. These group practices are thought to be more effective for teaching and providing services than are the traditional clinics. This is a report on the results of a study in which the a…
Academic Group Practice: The Patient??s Perspective
The effect upon patient satisfaction of a reorganization of a traditional medical clinic into a group practice model was examined in a controlled trial in which both patients and physicians were randomized. The group practice model, unlike the traditional clinic, provided decentralized registration, 5 days/week clinic coverage, and night/weekend phone coverage. Residents worked in small groups with an attending physician, a nurse practitioner, an…
