What drives older adults’ acceptance of virtual humans? A conjoint and latent class analysis on virtual exercise coach attributes for a community-based exercise program
As an example of health-enhancing physical activities (HEPA), structured physical exercise is valuable in promoting healthy lifestyles among community-dwelling older adults. Technology-driven virtual coaches have the potential to enhance and improve exercise programs, but the preferences of the aging population were not previously explored. This study examined and analyzed the attributes and levels related to the acceptance of virtual coaches amo…
The impact of a mixed reality technology-driven health enhancing physical activity program among community-dwelling older adults
Background Physical inactivity and a sedentary lifestyle among community-dwelling older adults poses a greater risk for progressive physical and cognitive decline. Mixed reality technology-driven health enhancing physical activities such as the use of virtual coaches provide an emerging and promising solution to support healthy lifestyle, but the impact has not been clearly understood. Methods and analysis An observational explanatory sequential …
Impact of Adding Pharmacists and Comprehensive Medication Management to a Medical Group’s Transition of Care Services
OBJECTIVES: Evaluate the impact of pharmacist-provided transition of care (TOC) services on hospital readmissions. METHODS: Starting March 2014, TOC services were provided to all hospitalized patients from an at-risk medical group. Data covering all inpatient and outpatient services and prescription drugs were retrieved for all adult patients discharged between January 2010 and December 2018. The overall impact of TOC was estimated using a genera…
Cost-effectiveness of a Digital Health Intervention for Acute Myocardial Infarction Recovery
BACKGROUND: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a common cause of hospital admissions, readmissions, and mortality worldwide. Digital health interventions (DHIs) that promote self-management, adherence to guideline-directed therapy, and cardiovascular risk reduction may improve health outcomes in this population. The "Corrie" DHI consists of a smartphone application, smartwatch, and wireless blood pressure monitor to support medication tracking,…
Care Management to Reduce Disparities and Control Hypertension in Primary Care
BACKGROUND: Project ReD CHiP (reducing disparities and controlling hypertension in primary care) care management was a clinic-based intervention that aimed to improve blood pressure control through improved care coordination and provide self-management support to patients from racially and socioeconomically. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of ReD CHiP care management versus standard care to treat hypertension in diverse communities.…
Can Economic Model Transparency Improve Provider Interpretation of Cost-effectiveness Analysis? Evaluating Tradeoffs Presented by the Second Panel on Cost-effectiveness in Health and Medicine
The Second Panel on Cost-Effectiveness in Health and Medicine convened on December 7, 2016 at the National Academy of Medicine to disseminate their recommendations for conduct, methodological practices, and reporting of cost-effectiveness analyses (CEAs). Following its summary, panel proceedings included lengthy discussions including the field’s struggle to disseminate findings efficiently through peer-reviewed literature to target audiences. Wit…
Finding Resolution for the Responsible Transparency of Economic Models in Health and Medicine
The Second Panel on Cost-Effectiveness in Health and Medicine recommendations for conduct, methodological practices, and reporting of cost-effectiveness analyses has a number of questions unanswered with respect to the implementation of transparent, open source code interface for economic models. The possibility of making economic model source code could be positive and progressive for the field; however, several unintended consequences of this s…
Are Evidence-based Practices Associated With Effective Prevention of Hospital-acquired Pressure Ulcers in US Academic Medical Centers
BACKGROUND: In 2008, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) established nonpayment policies resulting from costliness of hospital-acquired pressure ulcers (HAPUs) to hospitals. This prompted hospitals to adopt quality improvement (QI) interventions that increase use of evidence-based practices (EBPs) for HAPU prevention. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the longitudinal impact of CMS policy and QI adoption on HAPU rates. MATERIALS AND METHODS…

Improving the Quality of Pressure Ulcer Care With Prevention
BACKGROUND: In October 2008, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services discontinued reimbursement for hospital-acquired pressure ulcers (HAPUs), thus placing stress on hospitals to prevent incidence of this costly condition. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether prevention methods are cost-effective compared with standard care in the management of HAPUs. RESEARCH DESIGN AND SUBJECTS: A semi-Markov model simulated the admission of patients to an acute c…
