Health Care Utilization With Telemedicine and In-Person Visits in Pediatric Primary Care
In this cohort study, telephone and video visits for pediatric primary care were associated with less prescribing and ordering than in-person visits. Telemedicine visits were associated with modestly higher rates of subsequent in-person visits and slightly higher rates of ED visits, and there was no difference in hospitalizations. Telemedicine appears to be a useful vehicle for health care delivery in the pediatric population, although it is not …
Patient-reported Primary Care Video and Telephone Telemedicine Preference Shifts During the Covid-19 Pandemic
BACKGROUND: Patient perceptions of primary care telephone and video telemedicine and whether COVID-19 pandemic-related telemedicine exposure shifted patients' visit preference is unknown. OBJECTIVES: We examined patient surveys to understand the health care experience of patients seeking primary care through telemedicine and how patients expected their preferences to shift as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. RESEARCH DESIGN/SUBJECTS: In an inte…
Disabled young people’s hopes and dreams in a rapidly changing society
The idea that disabled young people should be at the centre of decision making about their future is promoted in policy, practice and research, yet this often translates into a narrow agenda on transitions through service and benefits systems. In this project, we aimed for an expansive exploration of disabled young people’s hopes and dreams in the context of unprecedented societal changes. Co-production methods brought academics, members of a Cen…
Portal Use Among Patients With Chronic Conditions
BACKGROUND: Personal health records offer patients access to view their own health information and to manage their care online through secure patient portal tools. Little is known about the patient-reported experience in using health portals to manage chronic conditions. OBJECTIVE: In a patient-centered research study, we examined how using portal tools affects patient health care experiences among patients with chronic conditions. We also examin…
The Digital Divide and Patient Portals
BACKGROUND: Online access to health records and the ability to exchange secure messages with physicians can improve patient engagement and outcomes; however, the digital divide could limit access to web-based portals among disadvantaged groups. OBJECTIVES: To understand whether sociodemographic differences in patient portal use for secure messaging can be explained by differences in internet access and care preferences. RESEARCH DESIGN: Cross-sec…
The Next Step Towards Making Use Meaningful
BACKGROUND: Care for patients with chronic conditions often requires coordination between multiple physicians and delivery sites. Electronic Health Record (EHR) use could improve care quality and efficiency in part by facilitating care coordination. OBJECTIVE: We examined the association between EHR use and clinician perceptions of care coordination for patients transferred across clinicians and delivery sites. RESEARCH DESIGN: Repeated surveys o…
The Ranch House in Georgia
This essay introduces the agencies and firms that collaborated in the development of guidelines for the National Register of Historic Places evaluation of ranch houses in Georgia. Remarks from each provide an understanding of the process for this ground-breaking venture and afford a view into the ways in which public history is practiced
Consumer-directed Health Plans With Health Savings Accounts
BACKGROUND: Employers are increasingly offering high-deductible health insurance plans with associated health savings accounts (HSAs), but there is limited information on account contributions or effects on patient care seeking. OBJECTIVE: We examined HSA contributions and their source, patient-reported effects of costs on care seeking, and reports of financial burden. RESEARCH DESIGN: We conducted telephone interviews with 488 adult members of s…
Validation of an Algorithm for Categorizing the Severity of Hospital Emergency Department Visits
BACKGROUND: Differentiating between appropriate and inappropriate resource use represents a critical challenge in health services research. The New York University Emergency Department (NYU ED) visit severity algorithm attempts to classify visits to the ED based on diagnosis, but it has not been formally validated. OBJECTIVE: To assess the validity of the NYU algorithm. RESEARCH DESIGN: A longitudinal study in a single integrated delivery system …
Office Visit Copayments
BACKGROUND: There is limited information on patients' knowledge about their cost-sharing requirements and how that influenced their care-seeking behavior. OBJECTIVE: To examine patients' knowledge of their office visit copayments, their self-reported responses to perceived and actual copayments, and discussions with physicians about costs. RESEARCH DESIGN: Cross-sectional telephone interview study with a 71% response rate. SUBJECTS: Stratified ra…
Care-Seeking Behavior in Response to Emergency Department Copayments
BACKGROUND: Patients are increasingly paying for more of their medical care through cost-sharing, yet little is known about how patients change the ways that they seek care in response. OBJECTIVE: We sought to assess how patients change their care-seeking behavior in response to emergency department (ED) copayments. RESEARCH DESIGN: Telephone interviews with a stratified random sample of adult members of a large integrated delivery system. SUBJEC…
Cost-Sharing
BACKGROUND: The use of cost-sharing to control healthcare expenditures is increasing, but there is scant information about patients' knowledge of cost-sharing or its influence on behavior. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate what patients know about their individual levels of cost-sharing and how it influences decisions to seek care. STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a cross-sectional telephone survey with a 69% response rate. SUBJECT…
Suggestions for School Improvement Aides
which after five years has evolved into the School Improvement Plan (SIP), has helped teachers and parents enhance and add sparkle and enjoyment to childhood experiences as youngsters first encounter the processes of rapid change that characterize the world of things, people, and self. In fact, the child’s survival depends more than ever upon recognizing, adapting to, and reshaping the forces of change which press upon him/her. ECE-SIP can meet t…
