Objectives: Survey nursing home (NH) clinicians about the indications for NH gabapentinoid use, the factors driving increased prescribing, and their experiences with gabapentinoid deprescribing.
Design: Online clinician survey.
Setting And Participants: NH clinicians prescribing gabapentinoids in US NHs.
Objectives: Explore the indications for long-stay gabapentin use and elucidate the factors spurring the rapid increase in gabapentin prescribing in nursing homes (NHs).
Methods: National cross-sectional survey of NH prescribers distributed anonymously using SurveyMonkey. Sampling for convenience was obtained through crowdsourcing, leveraging collaborations with NH clinician organizations.
Goal: This study was developed to explicate underlying organizational factors contributing to the deterioration of primary care clinicians' mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: Using data from the Larry A. Green Center for the Advancement of Primary Health Care for the Public Good's national survey of primary care clinicians from March 2020 to March 2022, a multidisciplinary team analyzed more than 11,150 open-ended comments.
Article Synopsis
- - The COVID-19 pandemic has created a significant public health crisis for primary care clinicians in the U.S., leading to increased patient demand and complex health issues, particularly in chronic care and mental health.
- - A study conducted with 36 electronic surveys from March 2020 to March 2022 found that clinicians reported longer wait times and difficulty meeting patient needs, largely due to staffing shortages and rising complexities in patient care.
- - The urgent findings call for immediate action to enhance support for primary care services to effectively address the evolving health care demands of patients.
Purpose: During the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine emerged as an important tool in primary care. Technology and policy-related challenges, however, revealed barriers to adoption and implementation. This report describes the findings from weekly and monthly surveys of primary care clinicians regarding telemedicine during the first 2 years of the pandemic.

Methods: Using a paid online sampling service, we requested age- and sex-representative samples of 360 adults in each country. We administered the Person-Centered Primary Care Measure-a previously validated 11-item, patient-reported measure that was developed using what patients and clinicians said is most important about primary care.
Background: Previous research demonstrated that registries are effective for improving clinical guideline adherence for the care of patients with type 2 diabetes. However, registry implementation has typically relied on intensive support (such as practice facilitators) for practice change and care improvement.
Objective: To determine whether a remotely delivered, low-intensity organizational change intervention supports implementation and use of diabetes registries in primary care.
Purpose: To develop and evaluate a concise measure of primary care that is grounded in the experience of patients, clinicians, and health care payers.
Methods: We asked crowd-sourced samples of 412 patients, 525 primary care clinicians, and 85 health care payers to describe what provides value in primary care, then asked 70 primary care and health services experts in a 2½ day international conference to provide additional insights. A multidisciplinary team conducted a qualitative analysis of the combined data to develop a parsimonious set of patient-reported items.
