Evaluating the impact of a discharge pharmacy in the emergency department on emergency department revisits and admissions.

Importance: Medication nonadherence leads to worse health outcomes, increased healthcare service utilization, and increased overall healthcare costs.

Objective: To determine whether a discharge pharmacy located in the Emergency Department (ED) reduces ED revisits and hospitalizations.

Design: This is a cohort study where we extracted data from our electronic medical records with adult encounters between 12/2019-10/2021.

Comparing the current short-term cancer incidence prediction models in Brazil with state-of-the-art time-series models.

The World Health Organization has highlighted that cancer was the second-highest cause of death in 2019. This research aims to present the current forecasting techniques found in the literature, applied to predict time-series cancer incidence and then, compare these results with the current methodology adopted by the Instituto Nacional do Câncer (INCA) in Brazil. A set of univariate time-series approaches is proposed to aid decision-makers in monitoring and organizing cancer prevention and control actions.

High Rate of HIV Among Trauma Patients Participating in Routine Emergency Department Screening.

Limited published data suggest rates of HIV may be high among trauma patients. This study compares rates of HIV screening and diagnosis among trauma and medical patients at a Level 1 trauma center emergency department (ED) with a universal HIV screening program. This is a retrospective cross-sectional study of all ED encounters from May 1, 2018, through May 1, 2021.

Evaluation of a transitions clinic to bridge emergency department and primary care.

Background: Suboptimal transitions from the emergency department (ED) to ambulatory settings contribute to poor clinical outcomes and unnecessary nonurgent ED utilization. Care transition clinics (CTCs) are a potential solution by providing ED follow-up and facilitating the bridge to longer-term primary care.

Objective: The objective was to evaluate the implementation of an ED transitions clinic on 30-day ED revisits and hospital readmissions.
