It is feasible to design a preventive oral health EOC bundle for children. The findings have implications for developing VBP approaches for oral health care
Patient Attribution—A Call for a System Redesign
This Viewpoint discusses several shortcomings in patient attribution systems from the perspective of physicians and patients and proposes strategies to improve patient attribution accuracy to better advance the goals of alternative payment models
Public Policy Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Blood Supply in the United States
The COVID-19 pandemic has precipitated an acute blood shortage for medical transfusions, exacerbating an already tenuous blood supply system in the United States, contributing to the public health crisis, and raising deeper questions regarding emergency preparedness planning for ensuring blood availability. However, these issues around blood availability during the pandemic are related primarily to the decline in supply caused by reduced donation…
Local Health Department Factors Associated With Performance in the Successful Implementation of Community-Based Strategies
Objectives. We examined which local health department (LHD)–level factors contributed to successful implementation of policy, systems, and environmental change strategies in Minnesota. Methods. We used a retrospective mixed-methods design to evaluate the relationship between the Statewide Health Improvement Plan (SHIP) grant initiative and key predictor variables (2009–2011). We obtained quantitative capacity data for 91 cities and counties in Mi…

Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Adult Domain Framework Using Item Response Theory Scores
BACKGROUND: To guide measure development, National Institutes of Health-supported Patient reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) investigators developed a hierarchical domain framework. The framework specifies health domains at multiple levels. The initial PROMIS domain framework specified that physical function and symptoms such as Pain and Fatigue indicate Physical Health (PH); Depression, Anxiety, and Anger indicate Mental H…

Creating Quality Improvement Culture in Public Health Agencies
Objectives. We conducted case studies of 10 agencies that participated in early quality improvement efforts. Methods. The agencies participated in a project conducted by the National Association of County and City Health Officials (2007–2008). Case study participants included health directors and quality improvement team leaders and members. We implemented multiple qualitative analysis processes, including cross-case analysis and logic modeling. …
The Effect of Consumer Incentives on Medicaid Beneficiaries' Compliance with Well-Child Visit Guidelines
The Affordable Care Act of 2010 recommends that consumer incentives be employed to increase the use of preventive care by Medicaid beneficiaries, but few evaluative studies exist. This study evaluates a Target gift card incentive employed by a Minnesota health plan serving Medicaid beneficiaries over the period 2002-2003. Lacking a contemporaneous control group, the proximity between the child's residence and the nearest Target store was used as …

Improving Service Delivery in a County Health Department WIC Clinic
Local public health agencies are challenged to continually improve service delivery, yet they frequently operate with constrained resources. Quality improvement methods and techniques such as statistical process control are commonly used in other industries, and they have recently been proposed as a means of improving service delivery and performance in public health settings. We analyzed a quality improvement project undertaken at a local Specia…

The Relationship between Hostility and Blood Pressure in Children
The relationship between two dimensions of hostility and resting blood pressure was examined in 98 children aged 7 to 10 years. The children completed the expressive and experienced hostility subscales of the Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory and one week later had blood pressure and obesity levels assessed. Multiple regression analyses and analyses of variance showed that expressive hostility was positively associated with blood pressure, although…
