Health disparity affects both urban and rural residents, with evidence showing that residents have significantly lower health status than residents. equity is the commitment to reducing disparities in its determinants, including social determinants.
The solution to the growing problem of rural residents lacking health care access may be found in use telemedicine and mobile (mHealth). Using mHealth or allows patients from remote areas have better care.The objective this study was understand factors influencing choice communication medium for receiving care, through analysis versus encounters with a virtual urgent clinic.We conducted postdeployment evaluation new service, Virtual Urgent Clinic, which uses modalities provide patient care....
Intensive care unit (ICU) nurses experience high levels of burnout related to the high-stress environment. Management electronic health records (EHR) is a contributing factor physician burnout. However, limited research has established relationship between nurse's well-being and EHR use.The objective this study was examine association use nurses.We surveyed registered employed at major Southeastern medical center in United States about their demographics, with EHRs, satisfaction elements...
Urgent care (UC) is one of the fastest growing venues health delivery for nonemergent conditions. This study compared patient experience during virtual and in-person urgent visits. We conducted a cross-sectional patients with same diagnosis Virtual Care (VUC) UC visits regard to time cost over period year. recorded analyzed 16 685 visits: In-person (n = 14 734), VUC 1262). Significant differences were found in average total visit an (70.89 minutes), (9.38 minutes). The ($49) ($142.657)...
Despite the important role avoidable emergency department (ED) visits play in healthcare costs and quality of care, there has been little work development predictive models to identify patients likely present with an ED visit. We use a conservative definition 'avoidable' defined as that do not require diagnostic or screening services, procedures, medications, were discharged home classify avoidable. Models trained using data from departments across US yielded training AUC 0.723 testing...
Using telemedicine to provide care is an attractive alternative for patients. However, few studies have examined the demographics of patients using virtual care. In this paper, we investigate demographic features Virtual Care (VC) users; Age, gender, roles, and preferred methods communication are studied.
Machine learning in medicine leverages the wealth of healthcare data to extract knowledge, facilitate clinical decision-making, and ultimately improve care delivery. However, ML models trained on datasets that lack demographic diversity could yield suboptimal performance when applied underrepresented populations (e.g. ethnic minorities, lower social-economic status), thus perpetuating health disparity. In this study, we evaluated four classifiers built predict Hyperchloremia - a condition...
