Creative Health Services Research
In 2003, a rather unique article appeared in the American Journal of Medicine that concluded there was a 10- to 12-year time horizon from the discovery of a molecule with therapeutic potential to a potential drug being tested in clinical trials.1 Do we see the same glacial pace of translation into practice of new health care policies or practices with a promise to improve health care delivery and population health? Indeed we do; a similar time ho…

A National Perspective of Telemedicine Use and Direct Medical Costs
BACKGROUND: Telemedicine has the potential to reduce medical costs among health systems. However, there is a limited understanding of the use of telemedicine and its association with direct medical costs. OBJECTIVES: Using nationally representative data, we investigated telemedicine use and the associated direct medical costs among respondents overall and stratified by medical provider type and patient insurance status. RESEARCH DESIGN, SUBJECTS,…
The Gut-Microbiome in Gulf War Veterans
Gulf War Illness (GWI) is a chronic multi-symptom disorder affecting the central nervous system (CNS), immune and gastrointestinal (GI) systems of Gulf War veterans (GWV). We assessed the relationships between GWI, GI symptoms, gut microbiome and inflammatory markers in GWV from the Boston Gulf War Illness Consortium (GWIC). Three groups of GWIC veterans were recruited in this pilot study; GWV without GWI and no gastrointestinal symptoms (control…
Impact of removing cost sharing under the affordable care act (ACA) on mammography and pap test use
Removal of cost-sharing under the ACA did not improve mammography or pap test rates. Therefore, financial barrier may not be an important factor in affecting utilization of the screening tests and policy makers should focus on other non-financial barriers in order to improve coverage of the tests
Anatomy of Constructive Peer Review
The value of peer review continues to be debated in the scientific community. In recent years, a number of prominent researchers have questioned the utility of peer review, claiming that it is inefficient, slow, expensive,1 and sometimes fails to meet its objectives: namely, to elevate worthy works of scholarship to the status of “the medical literature” and to keep less-worthy works from seeing the light of day. The critics are not without evide…

A Conceptual Model of Physician Work Intensity
BACKGROUND: Physician work intensity, although a major factor in determining the payment for medical services, may potentially affect patient health outcomes including quality of care and patient safety, and has implications for the redesign of medical practice to improve health care delivery. However, to date, there has been minimal research regarding the relationship between physician work intensity and either patient outcomes or the organizati…
Risk-adjusted Capitation in an Era of Personalized Medicine
In this issue of Medical Care, we have an article of import and timeliness to current conversations on “bending the health care cost curve.”1 The study by Drs Ash and Ellis is also sure to generate controversy, a preview of which the peer-review process has already provided. I am very pleased that Medical Care has chosen not to shy away from the controversy but rather has embraced it thoughtfully by framing the topic with alternative perspectives…
Temporal and Subjective Work Demands in Office-Based Patient Care
Access indicators represent the ability to navigate the US health care system but have a differential impact on AA groups. These differences should be integrated into interventions designed to improve cancer screening rates
Physician Work Intensity Among Medical Specialties
BACKGROUND: Similarities and differences in physician work intensity among specialties are poorly understood but have implications for quality of care, patient safety, practice organization and management, and payment. OBJECTIVE: To determine the magnitude and important dimensions of physician work intensity for 4 specialties. RESEARCH DESIGN: Cross-sectional assessment of work intensity associated with actual patient care in the examination room…
Clinical Work Intensity Among Physician Specialties
BACKGROUND: The level of work intensity associated with patient encounters has implications for quality of care, patient safety, practice management, and reimbursement. The utility of available instruments for clinical work intensity assessment is unknown. OBJECTIVE: We assessed, in the clinical setting, the performance of existing measures of work intensity that are valid for nonclinical contexts. RESEARCH DESIGN: A cross-sectional, multimeasure…
Stroke Mortality Among Alaska Native People
Objectives. We aimed to describe the epidemiology of stroke among Alaska Natives, which is essential for designing effective stroke prevention and intervention efforts for this population. Methods. We conducted an analysis of death certificate data for the state of Alaska for the period 1984 to 2003, comparing age-standardized stroke mortality rates among Alaska Natives residing in Alaska vs US Whites by age category, gender, stroke type, and tim…
Racial Variations in Postoperative Outcomes of Carotid Endarterectomy
CONTEXT: Black patients and Hispanic patients receive carotid endarterectomy (CEA) at lower rates than white patients. It is unclear whether worse surgical outcomes are influencing clinical decision-making regarding use of the operation among minority group patients. OBJECTIVE: To determine if there are racial differences in postoperative outcomes for patients undergoing CEA at Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers. DESIGN: Secondary analysis of …
Structure, Process, and Outcomes in Stroke Rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: The health services research framework of structure, process, and outcome is used commonly to examine quality of care, and it indicates that structure influences process, which in turn influences outcomes. However, little empirical work has been done to test this hypothesis, particularly for medical rehabilitation. OBJECTIVES: To determine if, among stroke patients, (1) structure of care was associated with process of care, and (2) st…

Cancer mortality in Native Americans in North Carolina
This paper describes age-adjusted mortality from malignant neoplasms for Native Americans in North Carolina for 1968-72 and 1978-82. Sex-specific standardized mortality ratios were calculated from death certificate data, using the cancer mortality experience of White North Carolinians to obtain the number of expected deaths. For most categories and specific sites of cancer, mortality was at or below the expected level, but higher than expected mo…

Preliminary Evidence on Retention Rates of Primary Care Physicians in Rural and Urban Areas
The primary study objectives were to 1) determine how many physicians entered primary care practice in rural and urban counties of North Carolina in the 1981 to 1989 period and 2) estimate their length of tenure in these areas. The secondary objective was to identify the physician's demographic, training, and practice characteristics that influence geographic location of practice and length of tenure. A cohort of 1,947 physicians was identified f…
Racial differences in rural adults' attitudes toward issues of adolescent sexuality
This study, based on a random sample of adults in a rural North Carolina county, demonstrates racial differences in rural adults' attitudes relating to adolescent sexual issues. Blacks were 50% more likely than Whites to indicate that public schools should provide general health care services, including pregnancy testing and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, to teenagers; however, they were only half as likely as Whites to approve of se…

Quality Enhancement Research Initiative in Stroke
Stroke is the third leading cause of death and a leading cause of adult disability in the United States. Both within and outside of the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), the lack of a systematic approach to stroke prevention and treatment may have contributed to reduced rates of compliance with recommended practices and increased rates of stroke. Gaps in the knowledge base inhibit a systematic approach to high-quality care within the veteran …
