Barriers such as limited access to care, implicit bias, and structural inequities exacerbate these disparities. While efforts in research and early detection exist, meaningful systemic reform is needed to improve outcomes. The call to action emphasizes equitable care, preventive services, and culturally competent healthcare practices. Tue, 21 Jan 2025 05:00:00 Z https://visiblemagazine.com/the-emergency-department-americas-patchwork-safety-net-is-fraying/ https://visiblemagazine.com/the-emergency-department-americas-patchwork-safety-net-is-fraying/ Dr. Doreen Agboh highlights the growing crisis in America's emergency departments (EDs) in a December 2024 article for VISIBLE Magazine. EDs, originally designed for acute emergencies, now serve as a safety net for those lacking access to primary care, mental health support, and housing. This shift has led to overcrowding, longer wait times, and strained resources. In 2024, 1 in 4 Americans skipped medical care due to cost, and nearly 30% lacked a usual source of care, forcing many to rely on EDs for non-urgent needs. Dr. Agboh calls for systemic reforms, including expanded access to preventive care, mental health crisis workers, and housing support. Without these changes, she warns, EDs will remain overwhelmed, putting vulnerable patients at greater risk. Wed, 18 Dec 2024 15:00:00 Z https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langlo/article/PIIS2214-109X(24)00453-4/fulltext https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langlo/article/PIIS2214-109X(24)00453-4/fulltext This realist review aimed to explore the factors influencing the implementation of bubble continuous positive airway pressure (bCPAP) therapy for children aged 1–59 months in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), and to develop a theory explaining how these factors affect outcomes. Through analysis of 38 peer-reviewed and 2 grey literature sources, the researchers identified 18 context–mechanism–outcome configurations (CMOCs), which were synthesized into a final program theory. This theory operates at five levels: the bCPAP device, local partnerships, clinical teams, caregivers, and institutional practices, and offers insights into how bCPAP effectiveness depends on contextual factors. The study concludes that future research should refine and test these findings to improve bCPAP implementation in diverse settings.

Mon, 02 Dec 2024 05:00:00 Z https://websites4-live-prod.ysmdevs.com/internal-medicine/news-article/econsult-programs-strategies/ https://websites4-live-prod.ysmdevs.com/internal-medicine/news-article/econsult-programs-strategies/ Electronic consults, or “eConsults,” are exchanges between providers in the electronic medical record that allow referring clinicians, often in primary care, to obtain timely specialist input without the need for a separate face-to-face visit. This solution has shown promise in reducing wait times and unnecessary referrals and aligns with the incentivization of health systems by government and commercial payors to improve access and quality of care while reducing cost. Yale’s population health team implemented and evaluated a large-scale eConsult program, and authored a September 2024 publication in PLOS One detailing the process. Using a multi-method approach, the researchers collected qualitative and quantitative data to assess operational outcomes on the implementation of the program and provider satisfaction among referring and specialist providers.

The survey asks recently discharged patients 29 questions related to their recent hospitalization, from communication with the medical and nursing teams to the cleanliness of the hospital. Yale postdoctoral fellow Kathleen E. Fitzpatrick Rosenbaum, PhD, RN, led a recent study published in Medical Care examining nursing factors that were associated with a better patient experience, “Hospital Performance on Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and System Ratings: Associations With Nursing Factors.” Tue, 23 Jul 2024 04:00:00 Z https://www.statnews.com/2024/07/01/medicare-coverage-wait-obesity-drugs-wegovy/ https://www.statnews.com/2024/07/01/medicare-coverage-wait-obesity-drugs-wegovy/ My dad, Randy, a 72-year-old retired sales manager, struggles with weight gain and has high blood pressure and cholesterol. His cardiologist suggested losing 15 pounds to potentially stop taking blood pressure medication. Randy considered Wegovy, a weight loss drug, but was skeptical due to its invasive nature and potential interactions with his medications. Wegovy and Zepbound show significant weight loss results but are not covered by Medicare and are expensive. Their effectiveness and safety in older adults are uncertain since FDA studies included few participants over 64. Concerns about muscle mass loss and different treatment goals for older adults make it essential to ensure these drugs are safe and beneficial. More research is needed to confirm the safety and efficacy of these medications for older adults. Until then, lifestyle changes like reducing late-night snacking might be a safer approach.

Under the expedited review pathway of accelerated approval, drugs can be FDA-approved based on surrogate markers or proxy measures such as changes in imaging or lab tests that are “reasonably likely” to predict whether patients improve in how they feel, function, or survive.

Following a similar settlement of a multi-state litigation, the state of Connecticut is expecting around $600 million to address the state’s opioid overdose crisis, which resulted in 1,340 overdose deaths in 2023 alone. To avoid the experience of the Tobacco funds, Yale faculty are proactively providing recommendations on how to spend these funds.

However, the needs of patients and families can be overwhelming for ICU and palliative care teams.
