Article Synopsis
- Medicare's Accountable Care Organization program (MSSP) is being evaluated for its effectiveness in lowering costs and enhancing healthcare quality.
- In a study of 220 ACOs from 2013, those with higher initial spending were found to be more successful in generating savings compared to their lower-cost counterparts.
- The results indicate that ACOs with less utilization before joining the MSSP are at a disadvantage, which could impact the program's ability to recruit efficient ACOs and encourage waste reduction efforts.
Problem: Exposing medical students to a broad range of illness experiences is crucial for teaching them to practice patient-centered care, but students often have limited interaction with patients with diverse illness presentations.
Approach: The authors developed, implemented, and evaluated a self-directed online curriculum followed by a small-group discussion focused on depression education. The curriculum was based on a module created using the Database of Individual Patients' Experiences methodology.
Objective: In this study, we explored how two different primary care clinic physical layouts (onstage/offstage and pod-based [PB] designs) influenced pre- and postvisit team experiences and perceptions.
Background: Protocols encourage healthcare team communication before and after primary care visits to support better patient care. Physical clinic environments may influence these behaviors, but limited research has been performed.

- Some researchers looked at how people help doctors and nurses use electronic health records (EHR) better in a big hospital system in the U.S.!
- They found that these helpers (called analysts) have to deal with tricky situations where hospitals want everything to be the same, but doctors and nurses want to change things to fit their needs better.!
- The study showed that understanding how different teams work and learn is really important to make the EHR system work well for everyone.!
