Results of a study done in a large teaching and research facility in Alberta reveal that a specialized home care team can substantially lower the cost of caring for people who are ventilator dependent. With the assistance of a pulmonary physician, the Respiratory Home Care program has shown excellent results. Patients report that they “feel as safe at home as in the hospital”, and the savings to the health care system are estimated to be about $2,000,000 per year.

Care System

Many health systems employ nurse telephone advice services to facilitate remote triage of patients to appropriate level of care. However, the effectiveness of these programs to reduce ED and subsequent health care utilization remains to be demonstrated. We describe a novel virtual urgent care program implemented within a Veterans Affairs (VA) health care system that interfaces with a nurse telephone advice line and leverages telemedicine tools to rapidly address and resolve nonemergent conditions. During a 4-month pilot period, 104 unique patients received care through the program, and over 85% of patients achieved timely resolution for their urgent complaints on first contact with the health care system. Demonstrating feasibility for such a program has potential implications for the optimization of remote triage and urgent care services to improve health care utilization and outcomes.

ABSTRACT Objective: This study analyzes the effects of the Pedernales earthquake (April 2016) on Ecuador’s health care system. Methods: A research was carried out in Chone Canton, which combined documentary, quantitative, and qualitative techniques. Epidemiological and service production information taken from official documents was analyzed systematically. In-depth interviews and surveys were conducted with health care program directors and technicians from the Health Centres of the Ministry of Public Health and the users. Results: Deficiencies in the health care system were already observed in Chone Canton prior to the earthquake mainly due to the lack of doctors, nurses, and hospital beds. According to the interviewees, the health district was not prepared for an emergency like the earthquake. Some buildings fell after the earthquake, and Chone Hospital was disabled. These problems coupled with preventive action failures at the community level led to an increase in diseases after the earthquake. Conclusions: The shortage of personnel and physical infrastructure, weaknesses in primary health care in the Ecuadorian health system, the lack of preparation, and limited availability of information on health indicators were the causes of the sharp increase in pre-existing diseases in the area, and of new epidemic outbreaks after the earthquake.

Perceived discrimination in medical settings remains prevalent within the U.S. health care system. However, the details of these experiences and their associations with perceived quality of care are not well understood. This study evaluates any potential difference in African Americans' systemic health care discrimination and Latinx perceived by African American and Latinx patients and physicians. The New England physician alumni from the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine were sent surveys. Two hundred fifty-one practicing physicians' responses to the 2018 study address their beliefs toward African Americans and Latinx' racism within the health care system. High scores indicate more significant perceived discrimination among these groups. Physicians have lower discriminatory belief scores across gender, patient racial distribution and specialty.
