  • ACO-Level Administrative Claims-Based Measure of Days at Home for Patients With Complex Chronic Conditions

    Kyle Bagshaw, Yongfei Wang et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2026References: 24

    BACKGROUND: Stakeholders have called for measures of how much time patients spend at home and in the community to incentivize coordinated, timely, and primary care-based services and reduce unnecessary acute care. OBJECTIVES: We developed a claims-based "Days at Home" Accountable Care Organization (ACO) measure for Medicare beneficiaries, intended to assess the number of days in a calendar year that adults with complex chronic disease spend at ou…

  • Adjustment for Social Risk Factors in a Measure of Clinician Quality Assessing Acute Admissions for Patients With Multiple Chronic Conditions

    Open AccessKasia J Lipska, Faseeha K Altaf et al.ARTICLEJAMA Health Forum2023

    This cohort study demonstrated that adjustment for social risk factors in outcome measures requires weighing high-stake, competing concerns. A structured approach that includes evaluation of conceptual and contextual factors, as well as empirical findings, with active engagement of stakeholders can be used to make decisions about social risk factor adjustment

  • Trends in Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Barriers to Timely Medical Care Among Adults in the US, 1999 to 2018

    Open AccessCésar Caraballo, Chima D Ndumele et al.ARTICLEJAMA Health Forum2022

    The findings of this serial cross-sectional study of data from the National Health Interview Survey suggest that barriers to timely medical care in the US increased for all population groups from 1999 to 2018, with associated increases in disparities among race and ethnicity groups. Interventions beyond those currently implemented are needed to improve access to medical care and to eliminate disparities among race and ethnicity groups

  • Factors Associated With Disparities in Hospital Readmission Rates Among US Adults Dually Eligible for Medicare and Medicaid

    Open AccessDavid M Silvestri, David Silvestri et al.ARTICLEJAMA Health Forum2022

    In this cohort study, within-hospital disparities in 30-day readmission for DE patients were modestly associated with differences in state Medicaid policies and community-level factors. This suggests that remaining variation in these disparities should be the focus of hospital efforts to improve the quality of care transitions at discharge for DE patients in efforts to advance equity

  • Trends and Variation in the Gap Between Current and Anticipated Life Satisfaction in the United States, 2008–2020

    Carley Riley, Judith Herrin et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2022Cited by: 1References: 31

    Objectives. To describe national- and county-level trends and variation in a novel measure of hope. Methods. Using data from the Gallup National Health and Well-Being Index (n = 2 766 728), we summarized the difference between anticipated life satisfaction (ALS) and current life satisfaction (CLS), measured by the Cantril Self-Anchoring Scale, for each year from 2008 to 2020 and by county over two 5-year periods in the United States. Results. Acr…

    Open AccessRachel M Skains, Nathan Kuppermann et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2020

    Objective To test the hypotheses that use of the Head CT Choice decision aid would be similarly effective in all parent/patient dyads but parents with high (vs low) numeracy experience a greater increase in knowledge while those with low (vs high) health literacy experience a greater increase in trust. Methods This was a secondary analysis of a cluster randomized trial conducted at seven sites. One hundred seventy‐two clinicians caring for 971 ch…

  • Ruth Macrides: An appreciation

    Open AccessJudith HerrinARTICLEByzantine and Modern Greek Studies2020

    The anniversary of Ruth's death and the funeral at St Andrews has just passed, reminding me how much I miss her and how profoundly she is admired by many medievalists, not just those specializing in Byzantine Studies, for a wide range of exciting studies not often brought together

  • Association Between Degrees of Separation in Physician Networks and Surgeons’ Use of Perioperative Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging

    Yongren Shi, Craig Evan Pollack et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2019References: 27

    BACKGROUND: Perioperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is frequently used in breast cancer despite unproven benefits. It is unclear whether surgeons' use of breast MRI is associated with the practices of other surgeons to whom they are connected through shared patients. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study using Medicare data to identify physicians providing breast cancer care during 2007-2009 and grouped them into patient-sharing netw…

  • The Value of Interracial Contact for Reducing Anti-Black Bias Among Non-Black Physicians: A Cognitive Habits and Growth Evaluation (CHANGE) Study Report

    Open AccessIvuoma N Onyeador, Natalie M Wittlin et al.ARTICLEPsychological Science2019Cited by: 10References: 4

    Although scholars have long studied circumstances that shape prejudice, inquiry into factors associated with long-term prejudice reduction has been more limited. Using a 6-year longitudinal study of non-Black physicians in training ( N = 3,134), we examined the effect of three medical-school factors-interracial contact, medical-school environment, and diversity training-on explicit and implicit racial bias measured during medical residency. When …

  • John Haldon. The Empire That Would Not Die: The Paradox of Eastern Roman Survival, 640–740

    Judith HerrinARTICLEThe American Historical Review2018

    The Empire That Would Not Die represents an expanded version of the Carl Newell Jackson Lectures that John Haldon delivered at Harvard University in April 2014. As he explains in the introduction, he worried that returning to the topic he treated in Byzantium in the Seventh Century (1990) might seem a bit déjà vu. That it is not is clearly a tribute to his archaeological survey at Euchaita in northern Anatolia, his mastery of environmental issues…

  • Hospital Characteristics Associated With Postdischarge Hospital Readmission, Observation, and Emergency Department Utilization

    Leora I Horwitz, Yongfei Wang et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2018References: 23

    BACKGROUND: Whether types of hospitals with high readmission rates also have high overall postdischarge acute care utilization (including emergency department and observation care) is unknown. DESIGN: Cross-sectional analysis. SUBJECTS: Nonfederal United States acute care hospitals. MEASURES: Using methodology established by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, we calculated each hospital's "excess days in acute care" for fee-for-service…

  • ‘Tantalus ever in Tears’: The Greek Anthology as a Source of Emotions in Late Antiquity

    Open AccessJudith HerrinCHAPTERGreek Laughter and Tears2017

    During the period of Late Antiquity (AD c. 300-600) few texts are preserved that were intended to make the reader laugh. The Greek Anthology , however, provides an unusually rich source for late antique attitudes to both laughter and tears. As Agathias, a lawyer and historian, explains when putting together his Garland of epigrams he followed and quoted the wise model of the ancients, and added sixth-century topics that illustrate ‘the devious pa…

  • Hospital Characteristics Associated With Risk-standardized Readmission Rates

    Leora I Horwitz, Susannah M Bernheim et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2017References: 27

    BACKGROUND: Safety-net and teaching hospitals are somewhat more likely to be penalized for excess readmissions, but the association of other hospital characteristics with readmission rates is uncertain and may have relevance for hospital-centered interventions. OBJECTIVE: To examine the independent association of 8 hospital characteristics with hospital-wide 30-day risk-standardized readmission rate (RSRR). DESIGN: This is a retrospective cross-s…

  • Regional Medicare Expenditures and Survival Among Older Women With Localized Breast Cancer

    Sara Tannenbaum, Pamela R Soulos et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2017References: 22

    BACKGROUND: Despite evidence on large variation in breast cancer expenditures across geographic regions, there is little understanding about the association between expenditures and patient outcomes. OBJECTIVES: To examine whether Medicare beneficiaries with nonmetastatic breast cancer living in regions with higher cancer-related expenditures had better survival. RESEARCH DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study of women with localized breast cancer …

  • Book Burning as Purification

    Judith HerrinCHAPTERTransformations of Late Antiquity2016

    The other use of fire is beneficial: fire as purification. In his analysis of the role of fire in history, Johan Goudsblom stresses its ritual associations with sacrifice and the well-being of cities.2 Rome was protected by a sacred fire, which virgins selected for the role kept constantly burning in the Temple of Vesta. Among the secular uses of fire, he points to the development of lighthouses, and the significance of cremation rather than buri…
