Insurer costs of COVID-19 by disease severity and duration
CONCLUSIONS: COVID-19 payments for S/C cases were more than 10-fold greater than those of moderate cases and further increased by nearly $95,000 in S/C cases with PCC vs a DOD of fewer than 4 weeks.PMID:38457820 | DOI:10.37765/ajmc.2024.89513 (Source: The American Journal of Managed Care)

Influence of practice location on prescribing, diabetes care, and colorectal cancer screening among Czech general practitioners during the COVID-19 pandemic
CONCLUSION: Primary care in Czechia rose to the challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic, as shown by the finding that the volume of healthcare services provided through primary care did not decrease across most of the monitored parameters. This study also confirmed that rural GPs provide more care in-house, both in terms of prescribing and procedures performed in their practices. Future studies will need to focus on preventive care, which the pandemic has dampened in GP practices in Czechia.PMID:38453333 | DOI:10.4178/epih.e2024033 (Source: Rural Remote Health)

Factors influencing the implementation of early discharge hospital at home and admission avoidance hospital at home: a qualitative evidence synthesis
CONCLUSIONS: Implementing Admission Avoidance and Early Discharge Hospital at Home services requires early development of policies, stakeholder engagement, efficient admission processes, effective communication and a skilled workforce to safely and effectively implement person-centred Hospital at Home, achieve acceptance by staff who refer patients to these services and ensure sustainability. Future research should focus on lower-income country and rural settings, and the perspectives of systems-level stakeholders, and explore the potential negative impact on caregivers, especially for Admission Avoidance Hospital at Home,...

Reported prices for high volume hand surgery in the era of price transparency: implications for future policy iterations
CONCLUSIONS: Although pricing for high volume elective hand surgeries is frequently reported, a high proportion of hospitals do not report prices. These data highlight the need for future transparency policy to include pricing for high-volume hand surgery to give patients the ability to make financially informed choices. These results are a valuable aid for surgeons and patients to promote financially conscious decisions.PMID:38437031 | DOI:10.1097/PRS.0000000000011378 (Source: Hand Surgery)

History of NHTSA's upgrade of FMVSS 208 addressing airbag induced fatalities and serious injuries
CONCLUSION: NHTSA engagement in efforts with multiple partners toward identifying the safety issues, was an integral part of NHTSA's strategy in addressing the problem, arriving at immediate actions that NHTSA took, and detailing a comprehensive look at the longer-term approach required to resolve the safety issues. The approach taken by NHTSA paved the way for the advanced airbags final rule and an interim final rule issued on May 12, 2000 (Federal Register Notice 65 FR 30680). NHTSA had undertaken a successful collaboration of the Federal Government, the automobile industry, equipment suppliers, insurance companies, traf...

Work-related and non-work-related mild traumatic brain injury: Associations with mental health and substance use challenges in a Canadian population-level survey
CONCLUSIONS: Non-wr-mTBI was associated with both MH and SU, whereas wr-mTBI was associated with MH only. MH outcomes were more strongly associated with wr-mTBI than non-wr-mTBI. Physicians, employers, and insurers need to consider the potential association between wr-mTBI and MH, and provide care accordingly.PMID:38393873 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230418 (Source: Work)
