Predictive Criterion Validity of the Parsley Symptom Index Against the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-10 in a Chronic Disease Cohort: Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: Approximately 60% of US adults live with chronic disease, imposing a significant burden on patients and the health care system. With the rise of telehealth, patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) have emerged as pivotal tools for managing chronic disease. While numerous PROMs exist, few have been designed explicitly for telehealth settings.

Parsley Health: Feasibility and acceptability of a large-scale holistic telehealth program for chronic disease care.

Background: A holistic, personalized approach to medicine can be used to prevent and manage a variety of chronic diseases. However, effectively managing chronic diseases can be difficult due to barriers related to insufficient provider time, staffing, and lack of patient engagement. To address these challenges telehealth strategies are being increasingly adopted, yet few studies have explored how to evaluate the feasibility and implementation success of large-scale holistic telehealth models for chronic disease care.

Validity of the Parsley Symptom Index-an Electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes Measure Designed for Telehealth: Prospective Cohort Study.

Background: Electronic patient-reported outcomes measures (e-PROMs) are a valuable tool for the monitoring and management of chronic conditions over time. However, there are few validated tools available that capture symptoms across body systems in telehealth settings. The Parsley Symptom Index (PSI) is a recently developed symptom assessment for adults with chronic disease in telehealth settings.

Integrating behavioral health services at employer-sponsored health clinics: A descriptive analysis.

Introduction: Approximately, 20% of adults in the United States have a behavioral health concern, resulting in $732M in direct medical spending and over 5 million lost workdays annually. Employers bear a substantial share of these costs. The objective of this study was to describe the integration of behavioral health services at employer-sponsored health clinics.

Changes in Health Services Use Among Commercially Insured US Populations During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Importance: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has placed unprecedented strain on patients and health care professionals and institutions, but the association of the pandemic with use of preventive, elective, and nonelective care, as well as potential disparities in use of health care, remain unknown.

Objective: To examine changes in health care use during the first 2 months of the COVID-19 pandemic in March and April of 2020 relative to March and April of 2019 and 2018, and to examine whether changes in use differ by patient's zip code-level race/ethnicity or income.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This cross-sectional study analyzed health insurance claims for patients from all 50 US states who receive health insurance through their employers.

An Employer-Sponsored Musculoskeletal Care Coordination Service Can Improve Clinical Outcomes and Self-Reported Productivity.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of participation with a novel musculoskeletal care coordination service on clinical outcomes, self-reported productivity, and satisfaction.

Methods: Prospective analysis of participants using the service from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019.

Results: One hundred eighty nine participants were enrolled; 54 participants completed their recommended clinical pathway.

Prevalence, Predictors, and Treatment of Impostor Syndrome: a Systematic Review.

Background: Impostor syndrome is increasingly presented in the media and lay literature as a key behavioral health condition impairing professional performance and contributing to burnout. However, there is no published review of the evidence to guide the diagnosis or treatment of patients presenting with impostor syndrome.

Purpose: To evaluate the evidence on the prevalence, predictors, comorbidities, and treatment of impostor syndrome.

Integrated Physical Medicine at Employer-Sponsored Health Clinics Improves Quality of Care at Reduced Cost.

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate clinical and economic outcomes associated with integrating physical medicine in employer-sponsored clinics.

Methods: Retrospective cohort analysis comparing clinical and economic outcomes of physical medicine services delivered in employer-sponsored clinics with the community.

Results: Integrating physical medicine in employer-sponsored clinics decreased wait times to access these services to 7 days (2 to 4× faster than in the community).

A Rapid Usability Evaluation (RUE) Method for Health Information Technology.

Usability testing can help generate design ideas to enhance the quality and safety of health information technology. Despite these potential benefits, few healthcare organizations conduct systematic usability testing prior to software implementation. We used a Rapid Usability Evaluation (RUE) method to apply usability testing to software development at a major VA Medical Center.

Exploring the persistence of paper with the electronic health record.

Objective: Healthcare organizations are increasingly implementing electronic health records (EHRs) and other related health information technology (IT). Even in institutions which have long adopted these computerized systems, employees continue to rely on paper to complete their work. The objective of this study was to explore and understand human-technology integration factors that may be causing employees to rely on paper alternatives to the EHR.
