Health Care Leaders’ Experience with a Multi-Level Intervention to Reduce Hypertension Disparities: A Qualitative Analysis
With health equity growing as a priority within health care, health systems must transform that calling into action within their social, economic, and political environments. The current literature has not compared how different organizations manage the same health disparities intervention. This qualitative study aims to illustrate how different organizations navigated the implementation and sustainability of a hypertension disparities interventi…
The Target Study: A Conceptual Model and Framework for Measuring Disparity
We present a conceptual model to measure disparity-the target study-where social groups may be similarly situated (i.e., balanced) on allowable covariates. Our model, based on a sampling design, does not intervene to assign social group membership or alter allowable covariates. To address nonrandom sample selection, we extend our model to generalize or transport disparity or to assess disparity after an intervention on eligibility-related variabl…
A population health approach to workplace mental health: Rationale, implementation and engagement
Objectives: To describe a population health-based program to support employee and dependent mental health and learn from engagement trends. Methods: Retrospective analysis of a program utilizing an assessment of mental health risk. For scoring "at risk," a Care Concierge is offered to connect users with resources. Results: Participation was offered to 56,442 employees and dependents. Eight thousand seven hundred thirty-one completed the assessmen…
Hospital-to-Home-Health Transition Quality (H3TQ) Index: Further Evidence on its Validity and Recommendations for Implementation
BACKGROUND: We developed the Hospital-to-Home-Health Transition Quality (H3TQ) Index for skilled home healthcare (HH) agencies to identify threats to safe, high-quality care transitions in real time. OBJECTIVE: Assess the validity of H3TQ in a large sample across diverse communities. RESEARCH DESIGN: A survey of recently hospitalized older adults referred for skilled HH services and their HH provider at two large HH agencies in Baltimore, MD, and…
Maryland Multipayor Patient-centered Medical Home Program: A 4-Year Quasiexperimental Evaluation of Quality, Utilization, Patient Satisfaction, and Provider Perceptions
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate impact of the Maryland Multipayor Patient-centered Medical Home Program (MMPP) on: (1) quality, utilization, and costs of care; (2) beneficiaries' experiences and satisfaction with care; and (3) perceptions of providers. DESIGN: 4-year quasiexperimental design with a difference-in-differences analytic approach to compare changes in outcomes between MMPP practices and propensity score-matched comparisons; pre-post design for…
Disparities in appendicitis rupture rate among mentally ill patients
These findings suggest that given the fact that the NHI program reduces financial barriers to care for mentally ill patients, they are still at a disadvantage for obtaining timely treatment for their physical diseases. Of patients with a major mental illness, schizophrenic patients may be the most vulnerable ones for obtaining timely surgical care
The immediate effects of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) epidemic on childbirth in Taiwan
The large amount of patients shifting from the maternity wards of more advanced hospitals to those of less advanced hospitals, coupled with the substantial reduction in their length of maternity stay due to their fears of SARS could also lead to serious concerns for quality of care, especially regarding a patient's accessibility to quality providers and continuity of care
The Impact of the Sars Epidemic on the Utilization of Medical Services: Sars and the Fear of Sars
Using interrupted time-series analysis and National Health Insurance data between January 2000 and August 2003, this study assessed the impacts of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic on medical service utilization in Taiwan. At the peak of the SARS epidemic, significant reductions in ambulatory care (23.9%), inpatient care (35.2%), and dental care (16.7%) were observed. People’s fears of SARS appear to have had strong impacts on…
