Smokers with serious mental illness (SMI) face individual, interpersonal, and healthcare provider barriers to cessation treatment utilization and smoking abstinence. Proactive outreach strategies are designed to address these barriers by promoting heightened contact with smokers and facilitating access to evidence-based treatments. The present study examined the effect of proactive outreach among smokers with SMI (n = 939) who were enrolled in the publicly subsidized Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP) and compared this effect to that observed among MHCP smokers without SMI (n = 1382). Relative to usual care, the intervention increased treatment utilization among those with SMI (52.1% vs 40.0%, p = 0.002) and without SMI (39.3% vs 25.4%, p < 0.001). The intervention also increased prolonged smoking abstinence among those with SMI (14.9% vs 9.4%, p = 0.010) and without SMI (17.7% vs 13.6%, p = 0.09). Findings suggest that implementation of proactive outreach within publicly subsidized healthcare systems may alleviate the burden of smoking in this vulnerable population. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01123967.

Background: Use of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2 inhibitors) falls short of their cardiorenal protective benefits. Patient and provider-level barriers hinder the adoption of these life-saving medications. Innovative practices to provide primary care providers (PCP) with added clinical-decision support via a dedicated remote interdisciplinary diabetes rounds (IDR) team could promote SGLT-2 inhibitor selection.

Approximately 320 million surgeries occur annually worldwide, increasingly performed on an ageing, comorbid population in whom postoperative complications contribute significantly to mortality. While anesthesiologists have led advances in perioperative care, the optimal structure of the provision of postoperative care has lacked discourse. In this article, we describe the implementation, structure, role, and benefits of an Anesthesiology Perioperative Outreach Service (APOS) at a Canadian tertiary hospital, providing proactive daily review and management of high-risk surgical patients.

Background: Social determinants of health (SDoH) such as housing insecurity are known to be intricately linked to patients' health status. More efficient methods for abstracting structured data on SDoH can help accelerate the inclusion of exposome variables in biomedical research and support health care systems in identifying patients who could benefit from proactive outreach. Large language models (LLMs) developed from Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs) have shown potential for performing complex abstraction tasks on unstructured clinical notes.

Therapeutic inertia, the delay in the appropriate initiation and intensification of recommended therapies, is a major contributor to the lack of improvement in type 2 diabetes outcomes over the past decade. Therapeutic inertia during the period following diagnosis, when improvements in glycemic control can have lasting benefits, is often overlooked. Technology and team-based care approaches can effectively address therapeutic inertia.

Background: Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities experience higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease and related chronic conditions compared to White communities due to disparities in tobacco exposure. Smoking can be effectively treated but evidence-based treatments are less likely to be offered to or used by BIPOC patients. We present the study protocol of the Smoking Cessation Outreach for Racial Equity (SCORE) trial that tests the effect of adding longitudinal care coordination to current standard of care for smoking cessation to promote health equity among BIPOC patients.
