Article Synopsis
- A study evaluates the effects of a new digital reimbursement system at a student-run clinic serving uninsured NYC residents, analyzing data from 94 patients over several years.
- Patients were categorized into in-person and digital groups, revealing that those using the digital system requested more refunds, received larger amounts, and were reimbursed faster compared to the in-person group.
- After implementing digital refunds, the clinic saw a significant increase in monthly reimbursement volume, number of refunds, and overall patients utilizing the service, indicating that digital systems can enhance medication reimbursement for uninsured individuals.
Article Synopsis
- Diabetic patients, particularly those with insulin-dependent diabetes, often face worse surgical outcomes, prompting a study on rotator cuff repair surgeries.
- The study analyzed data from 2006 to 2018, categorizing patients into three groups: non-diabetic, non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), and insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), and assessed complications.
- Results showed that while IDDM patients had higher risks of mortality and prolonged hospital stays, diabetes status did not significantly impact overall postoperative complications, suggesting that physicians can counsel patients accordingly.
