This document discusses predicting medication adherence through predictive modeling. It begins by outlining the problem of medication non-adherence and its impacts. It then describes the methodology used, which involved blending data from Medicare, drug information databases, and census data to derive predictors and classify patients based on adherence. Regression and decision tree models with 45 predictors were able to predict medication adherence days and classify patients as adherent or non-adherent. The inferences from the models supported the hypothesis that public health, personal, and medication factors influence non-adherence. The document concludes by discussing interventions like behavioral, financial, and clinical approaches that can be tailored to individuals to improve adherence.
Ethics comparative
This document discusses the ethical issues surrounding using financial incentives to promote health behaviors. It notes that while incentives can help address internal and external factors influencing health, they may infringe on autonomy, raise privacy concerns, and discriminate among populations. Additionally, incentives risk crowding out intrinsic motivations and may not be sustainable long-term. The document examines debates around incentivizing processes versus outcomes, as well as targeting individuals versus environments. It calls for more research on how incentive program structures, targets, compulsory elements, and unintended consequences before widespread implementation.

This document summarizes a team's work on predicting medication adherence. They analyzed data from Medicare, drug information databases, and census data to develop models with over 45 predictors of non-adherence. Key factors included public health, personal, and medication factors. Automated calls were found to increase prescription filling rates. Effective interventions need to be tailored per patient, with incentives aligned for all stakeholders to improve adherence. Regular measurement of adherence rates is important to identify best practices.

This document discusses innovations in healthcare including electronic health records, preventive care, comparative effectiveness research, and accountable care organizations. It notes that there are over 1 billion physician visits per year but patients often have poor recall of their visits and diagnoses. Engaging patients more actively could improve outcomes by increasing patient understanding, satisfaction, reducing anxiety, and improving compliance, while potentially decreasing treatment time and costs.

1) A Medicare study found that providing in-home primary care for frail seniors through regular house calls saved over $25 million in the first year by reducing hospital and emergency room visits.
2) The study involved over 8,400 frail seniors with multiple chronic conditions receiving customized primary care in their homes from 17 programs around the country.
3) Preliminary data found the home-based care approach saved an average of $3,070 per participating senior patient while also meeting quality of care goals, indicating house calls can both improve outcomes and lower costs for Medicare's highest-need patients.

Merchants 2010 Final
The seminar discussed the economic recovery and its local impact. It began in late summer 2009 and is expected to be slow. The speaker then discussed several myths and problems related to health care reform in the US, including that businesses are less competitive due to health care costs and that costs are rising more rapidly than other countries. However, the US has the highest per capita health spending. The economic explanations for this are high income, dispersed health insurance incentives, and advanced technology. Locally, recent reform proposals are not expected to address these issues or curb increasing expenditures. Long term, the US faces fiscal problems with Medicare and Social Security.
Test Presentation
Family medicine is one of the primary care specialties focused on comprehensive and continuous care of individuals, families, and all ages. A typical week in primary care involves treating both acute and chronic conditions as well as providing preventive care. Primary care, including family medicine, is important as it results in longer lifespans, fewer cancer deaths, better management of complex diseases, less emergency room and hospital use, and reduced health disparities. Family physicians provide a wide range of services from prevention and management of injuries/illnesses to maternity care, mental health services, and end-of-life care.
Patient Viewpoint on PCSK9 Inhibitors
1) A patient with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) on PCSK9 inhibitors described facing step therapy requirements and high copays to access the drug, with an initial $1000 copay and $400 monthly copay.
2) A study found that only 30.9% of patients prescribed PCSK9 inhibitors ever received the therapy due to prior authorization denials and high copays, with prescription abandonment rates over 75% for copays over $350.
3) Medicare Part D plans have annual out-of-pocket costs for PCSK9 inhibitors and statins of nearly $5000 on average.

Patient Beliefs about Pharmaceutical Industry Gifts 5.29.09Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics
1) The study measured patient beliefs about physician acceptance of gifts from pharmaceutical companies and how those beliefs relate to patient distrust in the healthcare system and trust in physicians.
2) It found that one-third of patients believed most doctors accept gifts, and over half believed their own doctor accepts gifts. These beliefs strongly correlated with high healthcare distrust and low physician trust.
3) Patients who believed doctors or their own doctor accept gifts were much more likely to have high healthcare distrust, according to multivariate analysis controlling for demographics. This suggests gifts may undermine trust in the system and physicians.Health Datapalooza 2013: iTriage
This document discusses a health data initiative from 2010 to 2012. It notes that an entrepreneur has access to data from 50,000 patients over 20 years, a network of 25,000 physicians across hundreds of hospitals and urgent cares, and a mobile platform with over 9 million downloads and billions of page views. The initiative included accessing data from a national physician database, community health centers, and mental health/substance abuse clinics. Analytics were also performed on symptom and disease data from various public health sources.

This study analyzed factors that influence how long families stay in homeless shelters. It found that families who stay longer tend to have more children, receive housing subsidies, and screen positive for alcohol or drug use. Those who leave shelters sooner are more likely to have another adult in the household or less housing debt. The findings suggest shelters can become long-term housing when families wait for subsidies, and some families may need more support for substance use before moving on. The implications are that systems should focus on rapid rehousing, limiting shelter stays, and providing targeted services to help families transition successfully.

BIL 2009 Personalized Medicine And Personal Genomics
Personalized medicine uses biomarkers found in the body to tailor medical treatment to an individual's specific genetics, biology and disease. While this approach promises to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs, it also raises issues regarding privacy and the potential for genetic discrimination. However, personalized medicine is already being adopted by some large pharmacy benefit managers and its use will likely expand as the cost of genome sequencing continues to drop significantly.

Caregivers are 28% more likely than non-caregivers to go hungry or eat less due to not having enough money for proper meals. Two-thirds of survey respondents incorrectly believe that Medicare pays for nursing home care or are unsure about Medicare coverage of nursing home care. The document discusses challenges faced by caregivers related to affording food and understanding Medicare coverage of nursing home care.
The Arizona Crisis Now Model: AHCCCS Outcomes
In 2016, the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention published “Crisis Now: Transforming Care is Within Our Reach.” Alignment with these practices cuts cost of care substantially, reduces the need for psychiatric hospital bed usage, ED visits and law enforcement overuse; resulting in better health and declines in suicide rate, justice system involvement/ incarcerations and psychiatric boarding. These challenges are simply greater than previously acknowledged, but the Washington State supreme court ruling on the unconstitutionality of boarding, the suicide death of Virginia State Senator Creigh Deeds’ son, the insistence of hospitals nationwide about the costs and safety and the series of violent incidents from Columbine forward are changing the expectations. These innovative approaches pioneered under the leadership of Arizona Medicaid are now being replicated throughout the US.

Financial Burden of Pediatric Cancer for Patients and their Families
This study examined the financial burden of pediatric cancer on 254 families treated at Primary Children's Hospital. Certain socioeconomic and healthcare utilization factors were associated with increased financial burden. For families 1-5 years post-diagnosis, factors like parental job changes, rural residence, and multiple unexpected hospitalizations predicted greater financial burden. The findings suggest certain costs accumulate over time and support recommendations to help families better manage expenses from the time of diagnosis through treatment.
Barriers to Care Experienced by Women in the United States
Women incur greater healthcare costs than men, especially during their reproductive years. Younger women are more likely than older women to not have a regular clinician and delay care as a result. Women who lack a regular clinician are less likely to receive certain preventive services like mammograms and pap tests. The barriers to care that women experience highlight the ongoing need for policies that promote affordable and equitable access to healthcare.

This document summarizes a presentation on clinically integrated networks and accountable care organizations (ACOs). It discusses:
1) The policy context and definitions of ACOs, which accept accountability for spending and quality for defined patient populations.
2) Similar past attempts at integrated care in the 1990s and lessons learned.
3) Infrastructure like electronic medical records that now enables more coordinated care compared to the past.
4) Early evidence that ACO-like models in Massachusetts reduced spending and improved quality for Medicare patients.
5) Major ongoing challenges for ACOs around aligning incentives, performance measurement, and investing to reorganize care delivery.

The document discusses the challenges and limitations of the Physician Payments Sunshine Act, which requires drug and medical device companies to report payments and gifts provided to physicians. While intended to increase transparency, it faces issues in fully capturing all financial relationships and providing proper context. The data has had limited impact on physicians and patients, but is being utilized by other groups like researchers and lawyers. Overall, the Act faces obstacles in communicating complex financial data in a clear and meaningful way to different audiences.Mental Health Medication Use in Washington
1. The document discusses concerns about mental health medication use in Washington State Medicaid programs, including issues like inaccurate diagnoses, overprescribing of medications, high-risk patients, and regional variations in prescribing practices.
2. Data shows that antipsychotic drugs are a top expenditure and that some patients are prescribed multiple antipsychotics by multiple doctors, putting them at higher risk. Regional variations in excessive dosing were also found.
3. When data is shared across agencies and programs, it can help identify risks and reduce things like narcotic prescriptions, emergency room visits, and costs of care for high-risk patients.

The document discusses the shortcomings of the Affordable Care Act and argues for a single-payer healthcare system in the United States. It notes that the US spends the most on healthcare per capita but has poorer health outcomes than other developed nations. A single-payer system could reduce administrative waste and lower costs through collective bargaining while improving access, quality, and health outcomes for all Americans.

1. Healthcare costs in the US are very high, totaling $2.7 trillion in 2011 or $8,680 per person. However, costs vary wildly for the same procedures between different hospitals.
2. Costs are continuing to rise rapidly, with insurance premiums and out-of-pocket costs both increasing substantially in recent years. This is contributing to many patients struggling to pay medical bills or declaring bankruptcy.
3. To control costs and improve value, there is a push for greater price transparency, paying providers based on quality and outcomes rather than fee-for-service, and narrow network insurance plans with higher deductibles.
Inpatient Physicians Cost Sharing
The document analyzes cost sharing structures for inpatient physician services across different metal level health plans for 37 states in 2015. It finds that bronze plans most commonly featured coinsurance (57%), while silver, gold, and platinum plans increasingly featured copays or no costs after deductibles are met. On average, coinsurance rates were highest for bronze plans at 32% and decreased with more generous plan levels. The majority of bronze plans had coinsurance rates over 30%.
Telepsychiatry primer
Telepsychiatry programs generate new revenue streams and reimbursement bonuses. They expand hospitals' catchment areas and increase inpatient utilization by improving access to psychiatric services. Medicaid and Medicare reimburse for telepsychiatry consultations, providing 25% higher reimbursement in rural areas. While some hospitals hesitate due to perceived low reimbursement and costs, technology is now inexpensive, integrated with EHRs, and clinical studies show telepsychiatry is as effective as in-person consultations. Hospitals should speak with executives and telepsychiatry specialists to set up new programs.

The dentists at Imaginary Dental Group presented a new antioxidant scanning program to their colleagues. The program uses a handheld scanner to measure patients' antioxidant levels and incentivizes lifestyle changes to improve scores. It was accepted and implemented.
The scanner was ordered. Staff were trained on roles for scanning operations. Scanning began, with patients paying $20 per scan. Some patients ordered supplements. Monthly reports showed increasing income from scans and products. Staff received bonus payments for their roles. The program was successful and provided additional income for the practice and staff incentives.
Virginia Association of Free Clinics
This document summarizes information about free clinics in Virginia and their role in providing healthcare services to low-income and uninsured individuals. It notes that free clinics served approximately 155,000 patients in fiscal year 2009 who would otherwise be uninsured. It provides an example of a patient who was diagnosed with cancer at a free clinic and received life-saving treatment. Free clinics largely rely on volunteer health professionals and donations, and provide significant returns on investment through reduced healthcare costs.
