Remote patient monitoring (RPM) for hypertension management has become increasingly popular, demonstrating benefits both clinics and patients. However, engagement in self-measured blood pressure (SMBP) remains low despite healthcare providers' efforts. This study aimed to assess adherence acceptance of RPM SMBP among Texas Federally Qualified Health Center Participants enrolled the program were recruited at three health centers. Data was collected from records, a questionnaire assessed...
Geospatial data science can be a powerful tool to aid the design, reach, efficiency, and impact of community-based intervention trials. The project titled Take Care Texas aims develop test an adaptive, multilevel, increase COVID-19 testing vaccination uptake among vulnerable populations in 3 regions: Harris County, Cameron Northeast Texas. We aimed novel procedure for adaptive selections census block groups (CBGs) include randomized trial project. CBG selection was conducted across regions...
Healthcare resources are often crucial but limited, requiring careful consideration and informed allocation based on population needs potential healthcare access. In resource settings, availability accessibility of should be examined simultaneously. The two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method has been previously used to evaluate spatial services, address health-related disparities. 2SFCA methods have regained significant popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic, as their application...
Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) is a promising treatment that could improve survival for refractory out-of-hospital (OHCA) patients. Healthcare systems may choose to start eCPR in the prehospital setting optimize time initiation and decrease low-flow time. We used geospatial modeling evaluate different catchment strategies forthcoming program Houston, Texas. studied OHCAs treated by Houston Fire Department from 2013 2021. included OHCA patients aged 18-65 years old with...
