J Am Assoc Nurse Pract 2024; 36:565-575. [PMID: 39042268 DOI: 10.1097/jxx.0000000000001051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing numbers of underserved people with chronic diseases and decreasing providers in rural areas have contributed to the care shortage in the United States. Nurse-led telehealth/mobile care models have potential benefits for this population. However, there is a substantial gap in the literature regarding this topic. PURPOSE To examine the available literature on nurse-led telehealth/mobile health care models with a particular focus on care model settings, nursing roles, care components, achieved outcomes, and the identification of both facilitative factors and encountered challenges. The ultimate goal is to offer recommendations based on these findings, thereby aiding the development or refinement of evidence-based care models that meet to the unique needs of low-income populations. METHODOLOGY Literature published from 2010 to 2023 was searched in six electronic databases (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Communication and Mass Media Complete, Medline, APA PsycINFO, Social Sciences Index, and Web of Science databases). RESULTS Commonalities identified among included studies with significant improvements were the provision of home monitors and education to participants, multiple engagements, and extensive community and/or family involvement. CONCLUSIONS Nurse-led telehealth/mobile health care models for chronic diseases are an emerging approach. Nurse educators must ensure that future nurses are adept in diverse telehealth modes, collaborating across disciplines. Leveraging advanced practice registered nurses and interdisciplinary teams provides holistic care. IMPLICATIONS Our review outlined recent research findings that suggest enhanced patient outcomes through technology, communication, and community support. In addition, we offered suggestions for future research and practice, emphasizing the importance of exploring the requirements of diverse and underserved communities.

Rangachari P, Thapa A, Sherpa DL, Katukuri K, Ramadyani K, Jaidi HM, Goodrum L. Characteristics of hospital and health system initiatives to address social determinants of health in the United States: a scoping review of the peer-reviewed literature. Front Public Health 2024; 12:1413205. [PMID: 38873294 PMCID: PMC11173975 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2024.1413205] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Despite the incentives and provisions created for hospitals by the US Affordable Care Act related to value-based payment and community health needs assessments, concerns remain regarding the adequacy and distribution of hospital efforts to address SDOH. This scoping review of the peer-reviewed literature identifies the key characteristics of hospital/health system initiatives to address SDOH in the US, to gain insight into the progress and gaps. Methods PRISMA-ScR criteria were used to inform a scoping review of the literature. The article search was guided by an integrated framework of Healthy People SDOH domains and industry recommended SDOH types for hospitals. Three academic databases were searched for eligible articles from 1 January 2018 to 30 June 2023. Database searches yielded 3,027 articles, of which 70 peer-reviewed articles met the eligibility criteria for the review. Results Most articles (73%) were published during or after 2020 and 37% were based in Northeast US. More initiatives were undertaken by academic health centers (34%) compared to safety-net facilities (16%). Most (79%) were research initiatives, including clinical trials (40%). Only 34% of all initiatives used the EHR to collect SDOH data. Most initiatives (73%) addressed two or more types of SDOH, e.g., food and housing. A majority (74%) were downstream initiatives to address individual health-related social needs (HRSNs). Only 9% were upstream efforts to address community-level structural SDOH, e.g., housing investments. Most initiatives (74%) involved hot spotting to target HRSNs of high-risk patients, while 26% relied on screening and referral. Most initiatives (60%) relied on internal capacity vs. community partnerships (4%). Health disparities received limited attention (11%). Challenges included implementation issues and limited evidence on the systemic impact and cost savings from interventions. Conclusion Hospital/health system initiatives have predominantly taken the form of downstream initiatives to address HRSNs through hot-spotting or screening-and-referral. The emphasis on clinical trials coupled with lower use of EHR to collect SDOH data, limits transferability to safety-net facilities. Policymakers must create incentives for hospitals to invest in integrating SDOH data into EHR systems and harnessing community partnerships to address SDOH. Future research is needed on the systemic impact of hospital initiatives to address SDOH.

Healthcare Service Quality Evaluation in a Community-Oriented Primary Care Center, Italy. Healthcare (Basel) 2023; 11:2396. [PMID: 37685430 PMCID: PMC10486978 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare11172396] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Revised: 08/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/24/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Community-oriented primary care (COPC) is an inclusive healthcare approach that combines individual care with a population-based outlook, striving to offer effective and equitable services. This study concentrates on assessing the perceived quality of a "Casa della Comunità" (CdC) implemented by the Romagna Local Health Authority, which embraces the COPC model. Through the examination of user experiences, the study aims to comprehend the influence of the CdC's care delivery model on the community's perception of service quality. From 13-18 March 2023, paper questionnaires were distributed by trained healthcare professionals and volunteers. The cross-sectional study enrolled participants aged 18 or older, capable of understanding written Italian, and willing to take part voluntarily. A total of 741 questionnaires were collected, resulting in an overall acceptance rate of 85.6%. Among the respondents, 37.9% were female, with an average age of 55.4 ± 16.2 years. While the respondents generally held a positive view of the quality, the results displayed varying levels of satisfaction across the different areas. Multivariate analysis revealed significant associations between factors such as gender, employment status, financial resources, education level, and distance from the healthcare center with the perceived quality of the facility in terms of accessibility, environment, staff, continuity of care, and overall satisfaction. The study yielded valuable insights, identifying strengths and areas for improvement and underscoring the importance of ongoing monitoring studies to enhance patient satisfaction continuously.

Alcaraz KI, Yanez BR. Interventions to promote health equity: implications for implementation science in behavioral medicine. Transl Behav Med 2022; 12:885-888. [PMID: 36205475 PMCID: PMC9540972 DOI: 10.1093/tbm/ibac062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Disparities in health persist despite the development of innovative and effective behavioral interventions. Both behavioral medicine and implementation science are vital to improving health care and health outcomes, and both can play a critical role in advancing health equity. However, to eliminate health disparities, more research in these areas is needed to ensure disparity-reducing behavioral interventions are continually developed and implemented. This special issue on interventions to promote health equity presents a diverse set of articles focused on implementing behavioral interventions to reduce health disparities. The current article summarizes the special issue and identifies key themes and future considerations. Articles in this special issue report on behavioral medicine intervention studies (including those examining aspects of implementation) as well as implementation science studies with implications for behavioral medicine. Articles discuss community-, provider-, and system-level interventions; implementation processes; and barriers and facilitators to implementation. Also included are commentaries calling for greater prioritization of behavioral medicine and implementation research. As evidenced in this special issue, behavioral medicine is primed to lead the implementation of behavioral interventions in historically marginalized and minoritized populations to advance health equity and improve overall population health.
