Article Synopsis
- Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) are highly effective and essential for empowering patients' reproductive choices, prompting a quality improvement (QI) initiative to enhance access at a health center from March to June 2019.
- An evaluation study used the Wilcoxon-rank test to analyze the impact of the QI interventions on the delivery of LARCs and related reimbursements.
- Results showed a significant increase in LARC deliveries and an approximate $1,000 monthly rise in reimbursements post-intervention, suggesting successful QI implementation but highlighting the need for further research on equitable access across different populations.
Introduction: The use of race in clinical risk prediction tools may exacerbate racial disparities in healthcare access and outcomes. This study quantified the number of individuals reclassified for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease owing to a change in their race alone on the basis of a commonly used risk prediction tool.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis of individuals aged 40-75 years without a history of cardiovascular events, diabetes, or other high-risk features using the 2005-2018 National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey.

A pooled crosssectional survey of electronic medical record data for 44 127 encounters of 22 828 patients was performed to calculate the odds of contraceptive care being addressed by patients who had General Practitioner, OB/GYN, pediatrician, or infectious disease (ID) specialists as their primary providers.
