The Complete Care Model and Glycemic Control in California State Prisons.

Since integrating the chronic care theory in 2008 and the complete care model (CCM) in 2015, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) has seen steady improvement in health care-related mortality. However, comparing glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels for the 2 years pre- and the 2 years post-CCM shows the glycemic control for diabetes patients has not significantly changed. Findings suggest that additional components of the theory will need to be incorporated into the CCM to achieve CDCR's progressive goal of 90% of their diabetes patients having HbA1c levels less than 8%.

Financial analysis of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a high school wrestler.

This case study is a collage of case studies regarding CA-MRSA in the athletic setting and is based on CA-MRSA cases observed by one of the authors while working as a school nurse in the high school setting. It is also based on multiple case studies of high school and college athletic teams documented in the literature. While CA-MRSA has been long been associated with superficial skin infections, the pathogenic capacity of CA-MRSA is now being well documented in the literature.

Financial analysis of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a high school wrestler.

This article tracks the progression of an easily preventable skin infection of a high school athlete that occurred due to the lack of a cleanliness protocol in a high school gym. The extensive and expensive progress of the infection resulted in a major near-death event for the teen. Guidelines for school athletic programs are included.
