JAMA Netw Open
December 2024
The Heller School for Social Policy and Management, Brandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts.
Importance: Previous research suggests that a greater capacity of health care organizations to address patients' health-related social needs (HRSNs) is associated with lower physician burnout. However, individual physician-level engagement in addressing HRSNs has not been fully characterized, and its association with physician burnout remains understudied.
Objective: To characterize physicians' engagement in addressing HRSNs and examine its association with burnout.
Public Health.
Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, Seattle, WA, USA.
Background: There are 6.7 million people living with dementia in the United States, and this number is projected to increase as the population ages. The cost of informal care makes up a large proportion of the societal costs of dementia due to the significant care needs associated with the condition.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: A Medicare Voluntary Advance Directive Framework (Framework) would enable the creation, storage, and sharing of advance directive documents, ensuring end-of-life care appropriately honors the individual and their care wishes, while supporting healthcare teams and family members in making care decisions for their patients and loved ones. With Medicare enrollment reaching over 65 million beneficiaries in 2023, and Alzheimer's becoming one of the most expensive conditions - CMS policy makers have a growing responsibility to improve care quality at end-of-life.
Method: The federal government will be called upon to assist providers in navigating documents and legal variations of approved forms of directives among the different states, and in ensuring privacy standards that keep an individual's health data secure.
Background: The home environment is where daily activities are performed and older adults with and without cognitive impairment spend most of their time. While home safety is a priority for healthcare providers, there is limited understanding of housing characteristics of older adults with cognitive impairment in the United States and whether they differ for those who live alone or with others.
Methods: We draw on data collected from N = 968 community-living older adults with cognitive impairment who responded to the 2022 National Health and Aging Trends Study, a population-based national survey that comprehensively assesses characteristics of older adults (≥65 years) and their households in a two-hour in-home interview.
Helping people with psychosis with a low-cost intervention DIALOG+: protocol for the economic evaluation in a randomised control trial in India and Pakistan.
BMJ Open
January 2025
Unit for Social and Community Psychiatry, Queen Mary University of London Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, London, UK.
Background: Approximately 69%-89% of people with severe mental illnesses, particularly psychosis, experience a treatment gap in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) due to factors such as low public spending on health and weak healthcare systems. The PIECEs project aims to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a solution-focused resource-oriented approach (DIALOG+) for improving the quality of life and mental well-being of people with psychosis in India and Pakistan.
Methods: The research design of this analysis is an economic evaluation piggybacked on the PIECEs randomised control trial to test the feasibility of DIALOG+ in India and Pakistan.
