108 Background: Genomic testing plays a pivotal role in personalizing treatment for CRC patients. Despite recommendations from NCCN, adoption remains uneven. Research indicates that only 64.7% of patients with metastatic (mCRC) underwent molecular nationwide. TEAMSPORT seeks to address this gap by evaluating the feasibility reflex and examining how pathology oncology teams integrate genomic into routine practice. Methods: This quasi-experimental study tracks over time. Eligible were 18 years...
ABSTRACT Objective : To characterize the ED utilization patterns of elderly population using nationally representative data. Methods A secondary analysis was performed National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS), a nationwide, stratified probability sample encounters. Using these physician‐reported data, demographics, patient complaints, physician diagnoses, and dispositions were compared by age group, i.e., young‐old (age 65–84 years) vs old‐old ±85 years). Results The ±65...
mHealth interventions that incorporate text messages have great potential to increase receipt of preventive health services such as colorectal cancer screening. However, little is known about older adult perspectives regarding the from their care providers.To assess whether adults would value and access physician's practice screening.We conducted four focus groups with 26 adults, aged 50 75 years, who had either recently completed or were overdue for A trained moderator followed a...
Survivorship care plans (SCPs) are written treatment summaries and follow-up that intended to facilitate communication coordination of among survivors, cancer providers, primary providers. A growing number guidelines for the use SCPs exist, yet SCP in United States remains limited. Limited may be due poor quality these guidelines. The purpose study was evaluate use, tools promote evidence-based medicine. We conducted a comprehensive search literature using MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE (Excerpta...
BACKGROUND African Americans have a higher incidence of prostate cancer and experience poorer outcomes compared with Caucasian Americans. Racial differences in care are well documented; however, few studies characterized patients based on their risk category, which is required to differentiate appropriate from inappropriate guideline application. METHODS The medical records population‐based sample 777 North Carolina men newly diagnosed were studied assess the association among patient race,...
Survivorship care plans are intended to improve coordination of for the nearly 14 million cancer survivors in United States. Evidence suggests that survivorship (SCPs) have positive outcomes survivors, health-care professionals, and programs, several high-profile organizations now recommend SCP use. Nevertheless, use remains limited among professionals States programs. Knowledge barriers is part because extant studies used anecdotal evidence identify determinants. This study uses theoretical...

Introduction Improving hypertension management is a national priority that can decrease morbidity and mortality. Evidence-based guidelines advocate self-measured BP (SMBP), but widespread implementation of SMBP lacking. The purpose this study was to describe the perspective primary care physicians (PCPs) on identify barriers facilitators for implementing SMBP. Methods We collected data from PCPs large health system using semi-structured interviews based Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF)....
The post‐Cold War era has witnessed an increased number of conflicts and higher levels international intervention by the humanitarian community military. Those who undertake to research actions relief development agencies acting in these wars must act within new parameters that require a flexible, innovative reflective approach. Not much is known about data collection war. most relevant publications come from field studies. This paper beginning much‐needed discourse on researching under...
BACKGROUND The Affordable Care Act (ACA) includes a mandate requiring most private health insurers to cover routine patient care costs for cancer clinical trial participation; however, the impact of this provision on centers’ efforts accrue patients trials has not been well described. METHODS First, members research centers and community‐based institutions (n = 252) were surveyed assess status insurance denials, then, focused survey 77) collected denial details. Univariate multivariate...
Hypertension control remains poor. Multiple barriers at the level of patients, providers, and health systems interfere with implementation hypertension guidelines effective lowering BP. Some strategies such as self-measured blood pressure (SMBP) remote management by pharmacists are safe effectively lower BP but have not been implemented. In this study, we combine evidence-based to build a program test its effectiveness in large systems. This randomized, controlled, pragmatic type I hybrid...
Clinical practice guidelines recommend active surveillance as the preferred treatment option for low-risk prostate cancer, but only a minority of eligible men receive surveillance, and variation is substantial. The aim this study to describe barriers urologists' recommendation in cancer explore by setting.We conducted semi-structured interviews among 22 practicing urologists, evenly distributed between academic community practice. We coded according conceptual model determinants quality...
Guideline-based best practice treatment for muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) involves neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical cystectomy (NACRC). Prior studies have shown that a minority of patients receive NACRC and older age renal function are drivers non-receipt NACRC. This study investigates rates factors associated with not receiving in MIBC lower comorbidity status most likely to be candidates

We tested the effectiveness of a centered intervention increase screening for domestic violence in primary practices.A multifaceted was conducted North Carolina. All practices designated two individuals serve as resources persons, underwent initial training on violence, and participated 3 lunch learn sessions.
