Streszczenie:

Ambulatory care comprises a major and increasingly important part of the U.S. and other countries’ health care sectors. Every year in the U.S., about 80% of the population seeks care at a doctor’s office, amounting to one billion visits. These visits divide almost equally between primary care and specialty clinic organizations. Diagnostic work is part of most ambulatory care, and central to over 40% of patient visits that originate due to a new problem or a flare-up of an ongoing chronic problem. Yet, the risks associated with diagnostic failures have not garnered much attention from health care leaders and policy makers until a recent National Academy of Medicine (NAM 2015) report synthesized research data with the statement that “most people will experience at least one diagnostic error in their lifetime, sometimes with devastating consequences.” This dissertation first reviews organizational theories and measurement challenges relevant to diagnostic safety and quality in the context of ambulatory care, and then presents three papers analyzing specific organizational factors hypothesized to enable or thwart an accurate and timely diagnosis. The first paper targets delayed diagnosis from missed evidence-based monitoring in high-risk conditions (e.g., cancer) within five specialty clinics in an urban publicly funded health system. The second paper analyzes staff-reported office problems that could lead to diagnostic error (e.g., not having test results when needed) in over 900 primary and specialty clinics across the nation. The third paper examines the associations between two types of time pressure (i.e., encounter-level and practice-level), organizational factors, and patient effects including perceptions of missed diagnostic opportunities. The three primary conclusions from this work are 1) organizational vulnerabilities for missed monitoring common to the different clinics included challenges with data systems, communications handoffs, population-level tracking, and patient activities, leading to the development of ‘design seeds’ for context-flexible solutions to improve diagnostic quality; 2) two organizational factors—stage of health information technology (HIT) deployment and patient safety culture are associated with diagnostic-related office problems, and 3) encounter and practice-level time stressors in primary care clinics are associated with perceptions of greater adverse effects on diagnosis and treatment, and worse patients’ experiences of chronic care from the clinic team, respectively, as well as associated with several organizational factors including HIT, patient-centered culture, relational coordination for interdependent teamwork, and leadership facilitation of changes to address frontline practice challenges. Taken together, the dissertation papers also demonstrate the applicability of the NAM Improving Diagnosis Conceptual Framework for research on ambulatory care organizations.

Class of 2014 Abstract
Specific Aims: The purpose of this study is to compare frequency of pharmacy services available in ambulatory care practice between adult and pediatric populations and to identify factors that affect the availability of such practice settings between the two populations in the United States. Methods: This study was a descriptive survey study that was distributed nationally. Participants were recruited using two electronic listservs registered with the American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP), the Pediatric PRN listserv and Ambulatory Care PRN listserv. A total of 126 participants completed and submitted the electronic questionnaire. This descriptive survey study collected data through an online questionnaire distributed to adult and pediatric ambulatory care pharmacists. Descriptive variables, demographic variables, categorical variables, and ordinal data were analyzed by calculating frequencies, percentages, and averages. Main Results: The majority of participants specialize in diabetes (n = 51, 40.5%), anticoagulation (n=42, 33.3%), hypertension (n=42, 33.3%), hyperlipidemia (n=40, 31.8%), and asthma (n=32, 25.4%). Adult care was greater than pediatric care in diabetes (Adult: n=54, 42.83%; Ped: n=14, 9.53%), anticoagulation (Adult: n=46, 43.66%; Ped: n=6, 4.76%), hypertension (Adult: n=44, 34.94%; Ped: n=8, 6.34%), hyperlipidemia (Adult: n=42, 33.34%; Ped: n=3, 2.39%), and asthma (Adult: n=35, 27.78%; Ped: n=28, 22.23%). Averages of 4.88 hours of hours per week and 5.21 years of experience were obtained for provision of pediatric care in the ambulatory care setting. Conclusion: In conclusion, availability of ambulatory care services for pediatric patients is dramatically less than those available for adults. Generalized structure for location of clinics, billing for services, and funding for positions may increase the opportunity for provision of adult and pediatric ambulatory care services.

Background and Aim: There is a subset of conditions - Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions (ACSCs) - for which emergency admission into secondary care is thought to be avoidable through better primary care. This research aims to: develop a model to predict ACSC-admission rates by GP practice; determine whether ACSC-admission rates are a viable performance metric; identify how much inefficiency exists among practices; and identify interventions that reduce ACSC admissions. Methods: The work uses routine administrative datasets (e.g. HES and Attribution Dataset), linked at the level of the general practice, for all practices in England providing NHS care. It uses techniques including multiple linear regression, corrected ordinary least squares, stochastic frontier analysis and propensity score matching to test its hypotheses. Results: Adjusting for population characteristics (e.g. deprivation and disease prevalence), some QOF indicators and GP patient survey results were associated with lower admissions rates. Aggregating admission rates across more practices improved the accuracy of predicted rates; at average CCG size (33 practices), the 95% confidence interval is ± 8.6%. If all GP practices in England became as efficient as those that were top performing, allowing for practices' population characteristics, there would be a 20.4% reduction in the number of ACSC admissions, based on 2010/11 data. Two interventions were found to lower admission rates. Patient advice and liaison service led to 5.9% fewer admissions for diabetes and 6.5% fewer admissions for hypertension. Information and support for diabetes led to 4.1% fewer admissions for diabetes. Conclusions: Improving the efficiency of practices to best-practice levels would mean 242,143 fewer admissions per year - a £411m annual saving - however a metric for judging practices' quality based on ACSC-admission rates would need a degree of leniency. Interventions can be found that reduce ACSC admissions and commissioners should consider expanding them. ACSC-impact assessments should be carried out before commissioning such interventions.

Streszczenie:
Sjukvården i Sverige står inför flertalet stora utmaningar i dag. Med en växande och åldrande befolkning ökar vårdbehovet i både komplexitet och volym. Samtidigt är resurserna begränsade vilket leder till att sjukvården måste bli mer effektiv i sitt vårderbjudande. Sjukvården har därför börjat titta på management-teorier från andra branscher, främst bilindustrin. Ambulanta vårdgivare, enheter som utför vårdtjänster utan egna inneliggande patienter, är centrala i produktivitets och effektiviseringsförbättringar i de system de agerar i. Denna studie har undersökt hur forskningens idéer kring produktionsplanering och kontroll kan användas av en ambulant vårdgivare. Detta examensarbete är baserat på en fallstudie genomförd på röntgenavdelningen på Danderyds sjukhus i Stockholms län. Fallstudien har utgjorts av framförallt kvalitativ datainsamling genom semistrukturerade intervjuer understödda av kvantitativ produktionsdata och en benchmarkingstudie på röntgenmottagningen på Universitetssjukhuset i Linköping. Det empiriska bidraget i fallstudien har inkluderat en kartläggning av arbetsprocessen i röntgenmottagningen på Danderyds sjukhus. Processen kunde delas upp i tre faser: 1. Förberedelser, 2. Undersökning, och 3. Diagnosticering och dokumentering. Utifrån den kartlagda processen och en utförlig litteraturstudie om produktionsplanering och kontroll kunde tre huvudsakliga slutsatser dras: (1) implementering av produktionsplanering och kontroll måste utgå från en grundlig förståelse för processerna hos vårdgivaren och syfta till att verka för både kliniska och operationella mål, (2) produktionsplanerings- och kontrollaktiviteter måste anpassas till vårdgivarens omgivning, och (3) kontinuerlig återkoppling från kvalitets och produktivitetsmål är oumbärliga för framgångsrik utnyttjning av produktionsplanerings och kontroll i en ambulant vårdgivare. Detta examensarbete kommer hjälpa ambulanta vårdgivare att möte de utmaningar och produktivitetskrav dessa står inför i Sverige genom att utnyttja potentialen med produktionsplanering och kontroll.
The healthcare sector in Sweden faces several challenges today: a growing and ageing population increases demand in terms of both volume and complexity whereas monetary resources available do not follow suit, forcing care givers to become more efficient in their operation. The healthcare sector has for this reason in recent years become more and more inclined to implement management theories developed in other industries, primarily the automotive industry. Ambulatory care service units, who provide care services on an outpatient basis, are vital in productivity improvements in the system they are acting in but have been somewhat neglected by both policy makers and academia. This study has therefore investigated how production planning and control theories, principles and methods can be utilised in an ambulatory care service unit in a major emergency hospital in Sweden. This thesis is based on a case study conducted at the radiology department at Danderyds sjukhus, an emergency hospital located in Stockholm County Council. The case study mainly consisted of qualitative data gathering using semi-structured interviews with aid from quantitative data on department performance. The empirical contributions of the case study included a process mapping of a generic process flow prevalent in all subunits of the department in the radiology department. The main process could be divided into three main phases: 1. Preparation, 2. Examination, and 3. Diagnosing and documentation. Using the mapped out process and a thorough literature review on production planning and control three main conclusions could be drawn: (1) an implementation of production planning and control should begin with a deep understanding of process flows in the unit and aim to promote both operational and medical objectives, (2) production planning and control activities should be adapted to the environment the unit is acting in, and (3) continuous feedback from performance measurements is vital to successful production planning and control initiatives. This study will help ambulatory care service units to meet the challenge of increased demand they currently face in Sweden by utilising the potential in production planning and control.

Class of 2009 Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To assess patients’ satisfaction with pharmaceutical care services provided in a community health center diabetes management clinic. METHODS: Patients who received diabetes-related pharmaceutical services from the clinical pharmacist at El Rio Health Center in Tucson, Arizona from November 2008 to January 2009 were contacted during a visit to the diabetes clinic and asked to complete the consumer assessment of pharmaceutical services questionnaire. The questionnaire included 14 likert-type items with response options ranging from “Never” to “Always” or “Disagree” to “Agree.” In addition, the patient’s most recent hemoglobin A1C (HgbA1C) was obtained from the electronic medical record. The survey instrument was also translated from English to Spanish to serve the Hispanic participants who could not communicate fluently in English. A descriptive cross-sectional analysis was completed in order to assess patient satisfaction. Dependent variables extracted from the survey were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test. Interval and ratio data were analyzed by calculating means, standard deviations, and an independent t-test. Nominal data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. RESULTS: A total of 46 patients completed the questionnaires, including 17 men and 29 women (mean age = 56, SD = 11.3, 80% Hispanic). All patients had seen the clinical pharmacist at least 3 times. Overall, this study showed that majority of the patients were satisfied with the service provided in the clinic. There was no statistically significant difference between English and Spanish patient populations in terms of satisfaction with pharmaceutical services provided about their disease management. CONCLUSIONS: Patients in this clinic were highly satisfied with the pharmaceutical care services provided by the clinical pharmacist.

This study was an outcome oriented experiment considering the effects of Preadmission Preparation on 110 children between the ages of 5 and 12 years entering B.C.'s Children's Hospital for Day Care Surgery. Preadmission Preparation has been shown to reduce negative reactions to hospitalization on children having inpatient surgery. To date, no one has found Preadmission Preparation to be of benefit to children having Day Care Surgery. The study considered effects of attention only; general Preparation; Hospital Tours; Instructional Approaches (Modeling and Rehearsal-Instruction); and Modes of Preparation (Print and Audio-Visual). Additionally, the interaction of experimental factors of preparation programmes with individual characteristics of the children (age, gender, position in sibling structure, socio-economic status, verbal ability, health locus of control, trait anxiety, previous hospitalizations, chronic conditions, and stressful life events) were examined. Measures used as outcomes were: Hospital Behaviour Questionnaire, Observation Rating Scale, and Children's State Anxiety Inventory (Spielberger, et al., 1973). These instruments gave 8 different variables. For the repeated measures aspect of the design, data were collected one week and immediately prior to preparation and immediately prior to and six weeks following surgery. Children who received attention only (the experimental control group) were found to react differently than children who received no attention on only one variable. Although Tours alone were found to reduce negative reactions to day care surgery, Preparation in general (regardless of Approach or Mode) was not found to be effective, and in some cases increased negative reactions. Children receiving Rehearsal-Instruction approach programmes had lower verbal and overall observed anxiety prior to surgery than those receiving Modeling programmes. However, they also had higher dependent anxiety following discharge. The Audio-Visual programme reduced negative behaviours on more dependent variables than the Print programme. Rehearsal-Instruclion/Print and Rehearsal-Instruction/Audio-Visual each reduced different negative reactions. Of the 10 individual characteristics of children considered in this study, 5 did not interact with the Programme variables on more than 2 dependent variables or had insufficient cell sizes and were not interpreted. Girls appeared to both benefit from and be more negatively affected by preparation than boys, whose reactions to day care surgery were less affected by preparation. Preparation programmes were particularly effective in reducing negative reactions in children from lower socio-economic families and tours were particularly effective for children with chronic conditions. Children with more external health locus of control benefited most from Modeling or Rehearsal-Instruction programmes with no Tour. Children with high and low trait anxiety reacted differently to preparation, with different effects observed on different measures and for different programme conditions. It was noted that dependent measures did not react in similar ways, nor consistently throughout the study. Limitations of a clinical study with extensive analyses is discussed. Further investigations of measures used to evaluate reactions to day care surgery is warranted. Clinical discussion and further research of programme facets and individual characteristics of children is recommended.

Streszczenie:
Day care surgical services have been marketed as a cost saving alternative for inpatient care. There is evidence that the cost per episode of day care surgery is 50-70 percent less than a comparable episode in an inpatient ward. In addition, avoiding hospitalization has particular relevance for paediatrics, because of the undesirable effects of hospital stay on children. However, both cost savings and the quality-based need to decrease hospitalizations of children will be fullfilled only if each patient cared for in a day care surgery unit would otherwise have been an inpatient and the bed vacated by day care surgery use would not be filled in by other patients. In a previous B.C. study based on the total population a significant component of day care surgery was found to augment total utilization, suggesting generation of surgical activity rather than substitution. The present study was designed to examine the substitution/generation issue in the paediatric (0-14 years) population, both because experts questioned the generalizability of the findings to the paediatric population, and because of the dramatic reduction in paediatric utilization in Canada during the period since the mid-1960s. The contention was that the introduction of day care surgery may have been an important factor in this downtrend. The relationship between paediatric day care surgery use and hospital inpatient utilization was analyzed in B.C. in each of the years 1968-1976 and 1981/82-1982/83 and using a time series/cross-section study design. The data frame consisted of all B.C. school districts, in each of the study years, yielding 825 data points. Using a multivariate regression analysis, it was possible to estimate what hospital utilization patterns would have been in the absence of day care surgery capacity, and hence isolate estimates of the net impact of day care surgery on paediatric inpatient use. Findings on the relationship between day care surgery use and paediatric medical/surgical and surgical inpatient utilization strongly support the view that paediatric day care surgery has been largely an add-on to the total hospital care system. Statistically significant substitution effect was revealed only for the most narrowly defined inpatient surgery category which more closely resembled day care surgery-type cases, after controlling for potential confounding effects of age and sex, paediatric bed capacity, different socioeconomic characteristics and time- and district-specific factors. Even here, less than 10 percent of day care surgery represented substitution for inpatient surgery and over 90 percent appeared to be generation of new activity to the hospital system as a whole. Furthermore, paediatric beds which were "saved" by day care surgery use were filled with increased utilization by non-day care surgery eligible surgical patients and by medical cases. The main driving force behind hospital utilization in the 0-14 year age group was paediatric bed availability even after standardization for age, sex, physician stock, measures of socioeconomic status, and other district- and year-specific effects. According to this study paediatric day care surgery has not been a cost saving alternative for inpatient care in B.C. in 1968-1982/83. Neither has it reduced overall hospitalizations in the paediatric population.

The thesis aims to investigate whether need is the major determinant of ambulatory health care utilisation for Saudi nationals in Saudi Arabia. This is done by applying multivariate analysis on the utilisation of both curative and preventive services on the data provided by the 1996 Saudi Arabia Family Health Survey. The analysis is applied within the framework of Andersen's sociobehavioural model, categorizing the factors that affect health services utilisation into predisposing, enabling and need factors. It can be concluded from the results that although need seems to be an important determinant of ambulatory health care utilisation, some of the predisposing and enabling factors were also found to affect health services utilisation, although the degree of their effect differs according to the health condition and type of services tested for. Need is dominant with regards to the utilisation of health services in response to children's diarrhoea, infants' full immunisation and attending at least one prenatal care session. But since some of the predisposing and enabling factors were found to affect health services utilisation, this highlights the importance of addressing the factors that were found to impede the utilisation at the health care system level as well as at the society level in order to achieve a more equitable health care system.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship and pattern of Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) implementation among various ambulatory care settings. With the increasing focus on cost reduction and improved efficiency of the healthcare industry, successful CPOE implementation would benefit many providers. The research entails an analysis of practice setting characteristics that may provide insight to the future of CPOE full adoption. Through secondary data analysis on the responses collected from the Electronic Medical Records Supplemental Survey (within the 2009 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey), four hypotheses are tested in this study: (a) use of CPOE will be greater in primary practices as opposed to specialists, (b) use of CPOE will be greater amongst group practices and less in solo practices, (c) private practice setting types will have greater implementation patterns of CPOE compared to other setting types, and (d) practices with greater private insurance reimbursements will have greater CPOE utilization. All four hypotheses were tested using a chi-square analysis in order to better examine the relationship between utilization patterns of CPOE and medical care practice characteristics. Although results showed that there are significant associations between CPOE use and practice specialty, type, setting, and type of major payer, there is still a strong lack of adoption in the ambulatory care setting as a whole. The study provides some insight into what types of practices may have lucrative qualities in the future, however the data is reflective of a time when many changes are expected to effect the industry. Not every medical practice has adopted or successfully implemented the first stages of CPOE, however the benefits and the future of healthcare show that many practices will soon be on their way in order to stay profitable.

Current implementations of patient information review on Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) are gaining traction in the in-patient hospital setting. There are tremendous patient safety and satisfaction, workflow improvement and physician satisfaction improvements possible if similar technology is optimized and used in the ambulatory care setting. We have performed a study of Partners HealthCare System (PHS) physicians to determine user requirements, implemented a formal method (not previously used within the PHS Information Systems division) to create a Software Requirements Specification (SRS), and developed a prototype user interface for a future LMR2go application (a mobile adjunct for the ambulatory care Longitudinal Medical Record system in use at PHS). The results of the study provided a core set of functions for the LMR2go application which physicians would like to use while on-call and substantiated the potential adoption of such an application. After an analysis of current software and hardware technologies, review of the study results and components of the actual SRS, a sample run through of a typical on-call physician workflow on the LMR2go User Interface is provided.

Objectives: 1) To determine 2010 pharmacy-related ambulatory care sensitive condition (ACSC) hospital discharges by Tennessee (TN) county; 2) To explore pharmacy-related ACSC hospital discharges across county characteristics for Tennessee counties, including community pharmacies per county, age, and county rurality; 3) To explore pharmacy-related ACSC hospital discharges across age for northeastern Tennessee counties. Methods: Data were obtained from the TN Department of Health Statistics (hospital discharge data), TN Board of Pharmacy (licensed community pharmacies), the United States (US) Census Bureau (county-level populations), the Office of Rural Health Policy (rural designations), and the US Health Resources and Services Administration (health professional shortage area designations). ACSC discharges were determined using the Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality's (AHRQ's) Prevention Quality Indictors (PQIs) for asthma, bacterial pneumonia, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, uncontrolled diabetes, and short-term and long-term diabetes complications. County-level analyses were population adjusted and analyzed across age. Analyses were conducted using SPSS and ArcGIS software. Results: In 2010, 79,683 hospital discharges were noted for pharmacy-related ACSCs, 55% of which were for residents 65 and over. For northeast Tennessee counties, 8,538 were documented accounting for 11% of Tennessee pharmacy-related ACSCs discharges. Bacterial pneumonia, heart failure, and COPD accounted for nearly 65% of discharges in northeastern Tennessee counties. The number of community pharmacies per Tennessee county was statistically significantly negatively correlated with county-level bacterial pneumonia (r=-0.339; p=0.001), CHF (r=-0.215; p=0.036), and COPD (r=-0.403; p<0.001) hospital discharges. Implications/Conclusions: Community pharmacies have the potential to positively impact the health needs of Tennesseans by targeting services (e.g., MTM, immunizations, adherence assistance) based on ambulatory care sensitive conditions. Future research is warranted to quantify current services and determine the capacity to provide such services.

The utilization of ambulatory services by the health maintenance oranization of Florida (HMO), independent practice association (IPA) model, was compared to a fee-for-service population. Each randomly selected froup consisted of 250 patients being cared for by the same providers, at the same clinic, during the calendar year 1986. Demographic and clinical data was gathered from the office charts. Frequencies were evaluated by the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences and t-tests were run to substantiate variance at the 0.05 level of confidence. The HMO group is a younger population (t=0.017), and the males are responsible for the increased utilization of ambulatory services (t-0.001). Trends of increased utilization are noted across the age groups and the variables. The rate of hospitalization is insignificantly higher for the HMO population and covers a broader range of age groups. Consequently, this HMO IPA model increases the rate of ambulatory service utilization in a younger population without reducing the rate of hospitalization. Cost effectiveness studies and organizational management evalutions are needed.

Urinary tract infections are diagnosed in female populations primarily in ambulatory care settings in the United States. Yet, published evidence documents that many of the antibiotics prescribed in these settings are unnecessary, erroneous, or, inappropriately prescribed. Improper management of uncomplicated urinary tract infections in nonpregnant women has resulted in higher morbidity rates due to antibiotic resistance. The purpose of this retrospective observational cohort study was to explore a current national database for associations between nonpregnant American female patients who were exposed to poverty and at risk for urinary tract infection antibiotic resistance in an ambulatory care setting. Krieger's ecosocial theory was utilized as the study's theoretical foundation to complement current public health social change priorities. Data from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey were analyzed to explore potential associations with urinary tract infections and antibiotic resistance. The sample consisted of ambulatory patients with urinary tract infection symptoms (n=45). The independent variables selected were antibiotics prescribed initially in 3 months or less after the onset of urinary tract infection symptoms, the continuation of antibiotics prescribed in 12 months or less after recurrence, and three classes of antibiotics prescribed for urinary tract infection symptoms known as broad-spectrum, narrow-spectrum, and combined broad- and narrow-spectrum antibiotics, while the dependent variable was urinary tract infection antibiotic resistance. Relationships between the variables were analyzed using binary logistic regression, however, there were no statistically significant outcomes. Promoting antibiotic stewardship programs in all health care settings in the U.S. can effect positive social changes that will prevent further antibiotic resistance.

Behavioral counseling is integral for the overall health of individuals with a mental health diagnosis. For instance, diabetic patients treated with cognitive behavioral therapy (“CBT”) for depression have been shown to have better glycemic control and patients with coronary artery disease treated with CBT for stress management have decreased risk for recurrent myocardial infarction. Above all, for nearly all mental health diagnoses, behavioral counseling is an effective treatment strategy for achieving remission. In primary care, mental health therapy oftentimes starts with a referral to a counseling center or psychiatric professional. With strong patient commitment, behavioral therapy can ultimately improve health outcomes and the day to day functioning for that patient. Unfortunately, the initial step can be the most difficult and the journey never begins. In our clinic, a residency clinic in a semi-rural area with a high percentage of underinsured, we noticed that a lower than preferred number of patients that we refer to our most accessible behavioral counseling center do not even schedule their first appointment. Additionally, we are limited by a scarcity of affordable psychiatric resources and this counseling center is often our only option for referral. For this purpose, we implemented the following changes consecutively to the referral process. First, our in-house referrals coordinator made the first appointment, instead of the patient having to call themselves. Next, we took this a step further, and an employee from the counseling center came onsite to initiate the intake process on the day of the referral or at the patient’s convenience. We then measured their success by comparing the percentage of patients that completed the intake process before and after each implementation. There was a statistically significant increase in the mean percentage of intakes completed after each intervention. We conclude that although the reason patients are unable to follow-up with a behavioral health referral is often multi-factorial, simplifying the process for the patient seems to help a great deal. While this is encouraging, more evaluation is needed to determine if patient outcomes are improved, and if these interventions are cost effective and sustainable options.

Streszczenie:
Urgent Care Centers (UCCs) are a recent innovation in the American system of health care delivery. The number of UCCs has increased significantly in recent years. Many researchers point out that the rapid growth of UCCs is expected to escalate during the next few decades. This growth will create more competition among providers of these facilities in the health care market, and the competition could lead to an uneven distribution of UCCs within cities. While health officials and planners are interested in attracting more patients by expanding UCC services, they are often unfamiliar with the factors that go into site selection decisions. Understanding the factors influencing UCC location is crucial to explaining why UCCs cluster in certain urban areas, while other areas are under-served. It is also important for providers who want to enhance accessibility of special population segments to UCC locations. This study uses the Portland metropolitan area as a case study. Due to the lack of access to providers' propriety data, the specific problem targeted here uses publicly available data as a proxy for providers' data to determine the factors influencing UCC location. The essence of this research is to show how these factors explain and predict existing locations of UCCs and to find out how well this publicly available data explains UCC providers' locational behavior. Most of the data for this study is provided by Metro of Portland. Other data are collected utilizing surveys and data from different public agencies and published reports. Logit analysis is used to find out which factors explain existing UCC location. The empirical findings of this research substantiate the existence of a strong relationship between the location of UCCs and land use factors. This study highlights the complexity and importance of understanding the factors influencing the location of UCCs. It rejects prior arguments that UCC location is influenced by some demographic and socioeconomic factors, while it introduces land use factors as the major determinants of UCC location. However, this study concluded that land use factors influence considered a rare phenomena that should be carried out for future research and that demographic factors may still have an indirect effect on UCC location.

Objective: The purpose of the DEFEAT Study was to better characterize medication errors in patients infected with HIV and identify the risk factors associated with these errors. Method: The DEFEAT Study was cross-sectional by design. Pharmacists conducted patient interviews in order to obtain best possible medication histories. Two pharmacists independently evaluated the medication profiles of each patient for therapeutic appropriateness. Medication errors were classified by severity using the National Coordinating Council for Medication Error Reporting and Prevention (NCC MERP) Index for Categorizing Medication Errors. Risk factors for the number of errors per patient were identified using Poisson regression. Risk factors for error severity were identified using a proportional odds model. Results: Pharmacists interviewed 151 patients and identified a total of 1,699 errors; 224 errors reached patients, of which 133 required intervention. Possible risk factors included certain medication classes, such as chemotherapy, erectile dysfunction drugs, inhalers and anti-infectives; the number of concomitant medications; the number of over-the-counter products; years since HIV diagnosis; history of cardiovascular disease; and collecting prescriptions from more than one pharmacy. Conclusions: In this sample of ambulatory patients with HIV, pharmacists identified a high number of medication errors that reached patients. Further research will focus on developing systems-based approaches to improve medication safety practices.
Objectif: L'objectif de l'étude DEFEAT est de mieux définir les erreurs de médication chez les patients infectés par le VIH, et d'identifier les facteurs de risque associés à ces erreurs. Méthode: Des pharmaciens ont fait des entrevues avec les patients pour obtenir la meilleure histoire médicamenteuse possible. Deux pharmaciens ont indépendamment évalué les profils médicamenteux de chaque patient pour vérifier leur conformité aux indications thérapeutiques. Les erreurs médicamenteuses ont été classées par ordre de sévérité en utilisant l'index de catégorisation des erreurs médicamenteuses du « Conseil National pour le signalement et la prévention des erreurs médicamenteuses » (Le NCC MERP). Les facteurs de risque pour le nombre d'erreurs par patient ont été identifiés en utilisant la régression Poisson. Les facteurs de risque pour la sévérité des erreurs ont été identifiés en utilisant un modèle chance proportionné. Résultats: Les pharmaciens ont interrogé 151 patients, et identifié un total de 1699 erreurs; 224 erreurs s'étendaient aux patients, dont 133 ont nécessité une intervention. Les facteurs de risque possibles incluaient certaines classes de médicaments, tels ceux utilisés en chimiothérapie, pour les dysfonctions érectiles, les inhalateurs et anti-infectieux, le nombre de médicaments concomitants, le nombre de produit vente libre, le nombre d'années écoulées depuis le diagnostic de VIH, histoire de maladie cardio-vasculaire, et le fait d'avoir des prescriptions dans plus d'une pharmacie. Conclusions: Dans cet échantillon de patients infectés par le VIH, les pharmaciens ont identifié un nombre élevé d'erreurs médicamenteuses atteignant les patients. Des recherches plus poussées se concentreront sur le développement d'approches basées par système pour améliorer les pratiques de médications sécuritaires.

Health care disparities have been well document to exist in various demographics. Specifically, there are differences in the access to and quality of healthcare between ethnic and racial groups. Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a debilitating chronic condition that affects the underinsured population more often than the insured. The present study sought to identify associations with the diagnosis of CHF between race, ethnicity, and insurance type.

Data sets retrieved from the 2010 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey were utilized to run statistical analysis and identify correlations between the dependent variable and independent variables. A chi-square test was performed to determine the significance of the results. The sample population selected was cross tabulated to identify associations between the variables. The findings suggest that significant differences exist in the diagnosis of CHF between race, ethnicity, and insurance type. The results support past research, which found that racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities exist in health care.

Class of 2008 Abstract
Objectives: To describe a pharmacist-based treatment adherence program at an HIV ambulatory care clinic setting; to describe the patient population that the pharmacist provided services to from 2005 to 2007; and to describe the clinical outcomes of the program. Methods: A retrospective chart review of 381 patients enrolled in the pharmacist-based treatment adherence program from 2/01/05 to 03/01/2007. Inclusion criteria: HIV positive; greater than or equal to 18 years of age; a medical record; and enrollment in the treatment adherence program. The program provided support, education, and clinical management. Results: Patients were predominately male (86%), ages 45-64 (58%) or 25-44 (38%), identifying as Caucasian (57%) or Hispanic (31%), with psychiatric (50%) or substance abuse (39%) comorbidities (with 25% reporting both comorbidities). Baseline HIV viral loads were compared at four different follow-up periods: 90-180 days, 181-365 days, greater than 365 days, and the entire period of follow-up through the pharmacist-based HIV treatment adherence program. At baseline 34% of the patients had an undetectable HIV viral load (< copies/mL) and a mean CD4 count of 340. All follow-up periods reported significant improvements. At follow-up >365 days, 76% of the patients had undetectable virus (p<0.001) and a mean CD4 count of 442 (p<0.001). There were no significant results when viral load and mean CD4 counts were examined within the context of number of pharmacist visits and SA and/or psychiatric comorbidities. Conclusions: Patients in the pharmacist-based treatment adherence program showed significant improvements in CD4 count and percent of patients with undetectable virus from baseline to all follow-up periods. The magnitude of the improvement increased during each follow-up period suggesting an additive effect of continued enrollment in the program.

This thesis described the casemix, health resource utilisation and geographic clustering of demand for health services for liver disease using data collected from the Princess Alexandra Hospital, Brisbane. High levels of advanced liver disease were seen, with a high requirement for ancillary services. Younger patients and patients with less severe disease were less likely to attend scheduled appointments. Demand for specialty care was clustered within specific geographic areas. The findings of this program of research highlight some specific issues that need to be addressed, in order to improve health services for patients with chronic liver disease.

Este estudo examina as representações sociais de profissionais de saúde sobre a questão da sorodiscordância para o HIV/AIDS. O estudo foi realizado com profissionais inseridos em uma equipe multidisciplinar de um ambulatório especializado em HIV/AIDS no município de Niterói, no estado do Rio de Janeiro. Para tal estudo, foram realizadas com esses profissionais 11 entrevistas semiestruturadas a partir de três eixos: (1) dados sóciodemográficos, com o objetivo de apreender questões relativas ao pertencimento social dos entrevistados; (2) dados sobre a instituição, com o intuito de compreender como as relações institucionais influenciam a visão da sorodiscordância e (3) dados sobre a sorodiscordância, com objetivo de apreender as representações que os profissionais têm acerca desse fenômeno. A partir da articulação desses dados, esta investigação pretende analisar entendimentos dos entrevistados sobre os seus cotidianos profissionais, e repercussões acerca das recentes recomendações do Ministério da Saúde no que concerne à sorodiscordância – as denominadas Estratégias Posithivas. Portanto, este estudo evidencia e analisa as principais dificuldades encontradas pela equipe para a absorção dessa nova rotina de trabalho e apresenta como fatores interferentes aspectos ligados à cultura institucional e à educação permanente dos profissionais da saúde dentro do ambiente institucional. Por fim, esta dissertação pretende contribuir para a adequação de rotinas que contemplem, da melhor forma, o fenômeno da sorodiscordância, possibilitando uma assistência mais adequada às dinâmicas sociais vivenciadas pelos usuários.
This thesis examines the social representations that a multidisciplinary team of professionals which works in an ambulatory specialized in HIV / AIDS in the Azevedo Lima State Hospital have on the issue of the serodiscordance. The study presents the new recommendations from the Ministry of Health for the matters that involve serodiscordance named Positive Strategies and analyzes its answers in the daily services. The interviews with professionals in the clinic were semistructured, combining three elements: social-demographic data, in order to learn issues that affect the interviewed people social status, institution data, to understand how relationships influence the institutional vision of the serodiscordance, and data on serodiscordance whose objective is to understand the professional representations on the subject. The study highlights and analyzes the main difficulties found by the team for taking up this new routine of work and presents interfering factors aspects of institutional culture and permanent education. This thesis contributes to the possibility of change and adaptation of routines that look at the phenomenon of serodiscordance better.

Background. There is little information regarding depression treatment patterns among adults with MS and depression in ambulatory settings at national level in the United States (US). Objectives. The objectives of this study were to identify patterns and predictors of depression treatment in ambulatory settings in US among adults with MS and depression. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted by pooling multiple years (2005-2011) of National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey and the outpatient department of the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey data. The final study sample was comprised of ambulatory visits among adults with MS and depression. Dependent variable of this study was pharmacological treatment for depression with or without psychotherapy. Predictors of depression treatment were determined by conducting multivariable logistic regression. Results. Out of all ambulatory visits involving MS diagnosis, 20.59% also involved a depression diagnosis. Depression treatment was observed in 57.25% of the study population. Fluoxetine was the most prescribed individual antidepressant. Age and total number of chronic diseases were significant predictors of depression treatment. Conclusion. Approximately six out of ten ambulatory visits involving MS and depression recorded some form of depression treatment. Future longitudinal studies should examine health outcomes associated with depression treatment in this population.
