The aim of this study is to predict healthcare cost savings associated with delivering telehealth advance care planning (ACP) to patients living with dementia. Two Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Programs delivered training to primary care providers on using telehealth to provide ACP. Using electronic health…
Racial disparities and socioeconomic factors associated with post-acute rehabilitation facility utilization among Nevadans with Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders and extremity fractures

In post-fracture care, these patients are cared for either at rehabilitation facilities or their homes. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic limited the utilization of rehabilitation facilities. In areas with provider shortages, this trend poses a risk of disability and caregiver burdens, particularly in racial…

In provider shortage areas, for example, the state of Nevada, telehealth can be an effective primary care delivery alternative to in-person visits. To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of telehealth visits for people living with ADRD in the state of Nevada, a decision-analy…
Trends and Factors Associated With Extremity Fractures and Post-Acute Care Utilization of Nevada Older Adults
Along with the trend of a steady utilization decline in the U.S. nursing home beds, post-acute care (PAC) utilization at the skilled nursing facilities has declined. This study was a cross-sectional, retrospective review of hospital discharge-based claim data. We evaluate the factors associated with utilizing post-acute care at rehabilitation facilities among those with extremity fractures in the state of Nevada. All Nevada hospital discharges of…
Changes in characteristics of inpatient respiratory conditions from 2019 to 2021 (before and during the Covid-19 pandemic)
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an increase in the number of individuals with respiratory conditions that require hospitalization, posing new challenges for the healthcare system. Recent respiratory condition studies have been focused on the COVID-19 period, with no comparison of respiratory conditions before and during the pandemic. This study aimed to examine hospital-setting respiratory conditions regarding potential changes …
Impact of Advance Care Planning on the Hospitalization-Associated Utilization and Cost of Patients with Alzheimer’s Disease-Related Disorders Receiving Primary Care via Telehealth in a Provider Shorta…
Telehealth has been adopted as an alternative to in-person primary care visits. With multiple participants able to join remotely, telehealth can facilitate the discussion and documentation of advance care planning (ACP) for those with Alzheimer's disease-related disorders (ADRDs). We measured hospitalization-associated utilization outcomes, instances of hospitalization and 90-day re-hospitalizations from payors' administrative databases and verif…
Inpatient Palliative Care Is Less Utilized in Rare, Fatal Extrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma
Background-Extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ECC) is a rare, morbid, fatal cancer with distressing symptoms. Maintaining a high quality of life while reducing hospital charges and length of stay (LOS) for the end-of-life period remains a major challenge for the healthcare system. Palliative care utilization has been shown to address these challenges; moreover, its use has increased in recent years among cancer patients. However, the utilization of…
Does low income effects 5-year mortality of hepatocellular carcinoma patients
Having a low income significantly affected the overall 5-year mortality of Korean adults who were newly diagnosed with HCC from 2004 to 2008. Middle-aged men were the most vulnerable. We believe our findings will be useful to healthcare policymakers in Korea as well as to healthcare leaders in countries with NHI programs who need to make important decisions about allocation of limited healthcare resources according to a consensually accepted and …
