A reasonable approach for health systems is to designate only those physicians who self-assess their Spanish medical proficiency as "high" as competent to provide care without an interpreter
Ethnic Differences in Geriatric Conditions and Diabetes Complications Among Older, Insured Adults With Diabetes
Among these insured older adults, ethnic health patterns varied substantially; differences were frequently small and rates were often better among select minority groups, suggesting progress toward the Healthy People 2020 objective to reduce health disparities
Use of the Refill Function Through an Online Patient Portal is Associated With Improved Adherence to Statins in an Integrated Health System
BACKGROUND: Online patient portals are being widely implemented, but their impact on health behaviors are not well-studied. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether statin adherence improved after initiating use of the portal refill function. RESEARCH DESIGN: Observational cohort study within an integrated health care delivery system. SUBJECTS: Diabetic patients on statins who had registered for online portal access by 2010. A total of 8705 subjects initi…
Missed Appointments and Poor Glycemic Control
OBJECTIVE: When patients miss scheduled medical appointments, continuity and effectiveness of healthcare delivery is reduced, appropriate monitoring of health status lapses, and the cost of health services increases. We evaluated the relationship between missed appointments and glycemic control (glycosylated hemoglobin or HbA1c) in a large, managed care population of diabetic patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Missed appointment rate was rela…
