The intersection of place and health: Examining the association of social determinants of health and diabetes in children and adolescents in Florida
Diabetes is a leading cause of mortality globally and ranks as the eighth leading cause of death in the United States. Affecting approximately 8.9% of Americans, diabetes imposes a substantial public health burden. Florida lies within the “Diabetes Belt,” a region identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention where residents face an elevated risk of diabetes. Over the past two decades, the incidence of type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabe…
Partnerships With Health Plans to Link Data From Electronic Health Records to Claims for Research Using PCORnet®
Health plans and public payers (ie, Medicare and Medicaid) maintain records of millions of transactions between patients and health care providers from claims submitted by hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and other care settings. A major use of claims data in research is to supplement the information contained in patients’ medical records. PCORnet is a large, distributed “network of networks” funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Instit…
Characteristics of Pregnancy-related Health Events Across Care Settings Nationwide in PCORnet®
The maternal mortality rate in the United States is higher than peer countries throughout the world. There is a critical need to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions to address factors that contribute to maternal mortality and morbidity (MMM). Legislation passed by the US Congress in 2019 reauthorized funding for the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) and identified maternal morbidity and mortality as a rese…
Avenues for Strengthening PCORnet’s Capacity to Advance Patient-Centered Economic Outcomes in Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR)
PCORnet, the National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network, provides the ability to conduct prospective and observational pragmatic research by leveraging standardized, curated electronic health records data together with patient and stakeholder engagement. PCORnet is funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) and is composed of 8 Clinical Research Networks that incorporate at total of 79 health system “sites.” As th…
A feasibility trial of parent HPV vaccine reminders and phone-based motivational interviewing
Without providing explicit consent to receive vaccine-related messages, parents nonetheless found postcards and interactive text messages acceptable. Centralizing MI to phone calls with trained staff was acceptable to parents and resulted in highly MI-adherent interviews
Classification Tree Analysis of Factors Associated with Oral Cancer Exam
Objective: In this study, we performed a classification tree analysis (CTA) to identify population subgroups that are less likely to have an oral cancer examination (OCE). Methods: We conducted telephone surveys (N = 2401) of adults residing in north Florida to collect data on OCE status and potential OCE predictors including demographics, medical and dental experience, and psychosocial factors. The CTA algorithm exhaustive chi-square automatic i…
Stakeholder Engagement in Developing an Electronic Clinical Support Tool for Tobacco Prevention in Adolescent Primary Care
Following guideline recommendations to promote tobacco prevention in adolescent primary care, we developed a patient-facing clinical support tool. The electronic tool screens patients for use and susceptibility to conventional and alternative tobacco products, and promotes patient−provider communication. The purpose of this paper is to describe the iterative stakeholder engagement process used in the development of the tool. During the pre-testin…
Rural-urban and racial-ethnic differences in awareness of direct-to-consumer genetic testing
Rural-urban and racial-ethnic differences exist in awareness of direct-to-consumer genetic testing. These differences may translate into disparities in the uptake of genetic testing, health behavior change, and disease prevention through precision and personalized medicine
Defining ‘quality’ from the patient's perspective: Findings from focus groups with Medicaid beneficiaries and implications for public reporting
BACKGROUND: With an increased emphasis on patient-centred outcomes and research, investigators seek to understand aspects of health care that are most important to patients. Such information is essential for developing report cards that present health-care quality information for consumers, which many states are adopting as a strategy to promote consumer choice. OBJECTIVE: This study examined the processes that women in Medicaid follow for select…
Measuring quality: Caries‐related emergency department visits and follow‐up among children
These National Quality Forum endorsed measures provide valid methodologies for assessing the rate of caries-related ED visits, an important system-level outcome indicator of outpatient prevention and disease management, and the timeliness of follow-up with a dentist. There is significant variation in caries-related ED visits among state Medicaid programs, and most ED visits do not have follow-up with a dentist within 30 days
Improving Adolescent Health Risk Assessment: A Multi-method Pilot Study
Objectives Given poor compliance by providers with adolescent health risk assessment (HRA) in primary care, we describe the development and feasibility of using a health information technology (HIT)-enhanced HRA to improve the frequency of HRAs in diverse clinical settings, asking adolescents' recall of quality of care as a primary outcome. Methods We conducted focus groups and surveys with key stakeholders (Phase I) , including adolescents, clin…
Developing and testing pediatric oral healthcare quality measures
Broad stakeholder engagement, rigorous measure development and testing processes, and regular opportunities for public input contributed to the development and validation of the first set of fully specified and tested pediatric oral healthcare quality measures, which have high feasibility for implementation in both public and private sectors. This achievement marks an important essential step toward improving oral healthcare and oral health outco…
Quality of Care for Chronic Conditions Among Disabled Medicaid Enrollees: An Evaluation of a 1915 (b) and (c) Waiver Program
IMPORTANCE: Examining the impact of Medicaid-managed care home-based and community-based service (HCBS) alternatives to institutional care is critical given the recent rapid expansion of these models nationally. OBJECTIVE: We analyzed the effects of STAR+PLUS, a Texas Medicaid-managed care HCBS waiver program for adults with disabilities on the quality of chronic disease care. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: We compared quality before and afte…
Do Florida Medicaid Providers’ Barriers to HPV Vaccination Vary Based on VFC Program Participation
Association Between Perinatal Medical Expenses and a Waiver to Increase Florida Healthy Start Services Within Florida Medicaid Programs: 1998 To 2006
To assess the association between perinatal care expenditures and a Medicaid waiver to increase Florida Healthy Start services among Florida Medicaid non-managed care organization (non-MCO) program enrollees. We assessed perinatal care expenditures from Medicaid claims and encounter data among non-MCO enrollees with increased risk pregnancies who gave birth in Florida during 1998-2006. We used a pre-post design to compare adjusted perinatal medic…
