Accountable care organizations (ACOs) have incentives to meet quality and cost targets share in any resulting savings. Achieving these goals will require ACOs engage more actively with patients their families. The extent which do so is currently unknown. Using mixed methods, including a national survey, phone interviews, site-visits, we examine the families, explore challenges involved, consider approaches for dealing those challenges. Results indicate that greater ACO use of patient...
Many historical administrative documents, such as the 1940 census, have been digitized and thus could be merged with geographic data. Merged data reveal social determinants of health, health policy milieu, life course events, selection effects otherwise masked in longitudinal datasets. However, most exact boundaries census enumeration districts not yet georeferenced. These aid analysis redlining other contextual factors important for outcomes today. Our objective is to locate map a large set...

Eighteen months into the COVID-19 pandemic, and as world struggles with global vaccine equity, emerging variants, reality that eradication is years away at soonest, we add to notion of "layered defenses" proposing a conceptual model for better understanding differential applicability effectiveness precautions against SARS-CoV-2 transmission. The prevailing adaptation Reason's Swiss cheese conceives all defensive layers equally protective, when in some are more effective than others. Adapting...
