Emergency Department Utilization Among Undocumented Latino Patients During the Covid-19 Pandemic
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether Latino undocumented immigrants had a steeper decline in Emergency Department (ED) utilization compared to Latino Medi-Cal patients in a Los Angeles safety-net hospital, March 13, 2020, to May 8, 2020. STUDY DESIGN: The data were extracted from patient medical records for ED visits at LAC + USC Medical Center from January 2018 to September 2020. We analyzed weekly ED encounters among undocumented Latino patients in …
Covid-19 case counts and Covid-19 related Emergency Department visits: Differences by immigration status, March-December 2020
While the overall likelihood of undocumented patients having a COVID-19 related ED visit varies compared to Medi-Cal patients - for younger patients, the odds is higher; for older patients, the odds is lower - it does not appear that undocumented patients underutilized the ED during the early COVID-19 pandemic relative to Medi-Cal patients. The ED may be a viable source of contact for this high-risk population for future outreach
Psychiatric Emergencies in Los Angeles County During, and After, Initial Covid-19 Societal Restrictions: An Interrupted Time-Series Analysis
Emergency department (ED) visits for psychiatric care in the US reportedly declined during the COVID-19 pandemic. This work, however, does not control for strong temporal patterning in visits before the pandemic and does not examine a potential "rebound" in demand for psychiatric care following the relaxation of initial societal restrictions. Here, we examine COVID-19-related perturbations in psychiatric care during and after the 1st stage of soc…
Severity of Inpatient Hospitalizations Among Undocumented Immigrants and Medi-Cal Patients in a Los Angeles, California, Hospital: 2019
Objectives. To compare the severity of inpatient hospitalizations between undocumented immigrants and Medi-Cal patients in a large safety-net hospital in Los Angeles, California. Methods. We conducted a retrospective analysis of all 2019 inpatient stays at a Los Angeles hospital (n = 22 480), including patients of all races/ethnicities. We examined 3 measures by using insurance status to approximate immigration status: illness severity, length of…
Will Improvements in Patient Experience With Care Impact Clinical and Quality of Care Outcomes: A Systematic Review
BACKGROUND: Patient experiences with health care have been widely used as benchmark indicators of quality for providers, health care practices, and health plans. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to summarize the literature regarding the associations between Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) patient experiences and clinical and quality outcomes. RESEARCH DESIGN: A systematic review of the literature was comp…
Diagnostic Accuracy of Two Food Insecurity Screeners Recommended for Use in Health Care Settings
Objectives. To test the diagnostic accuracy of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommended food insecurity screener. Methods. We conducted prospective diagnostic accuracy studies between July and November 2016 in Chicago, Illinois. We recruited convenience samples of adults from adult and pediatric emergency departments (12-month recall study: n = 188; 30-day recall study: n = 154). A self-administered survey included the 6-item Househol…
