Abstract:

Telephone triage programs have been shown to be cost-effective and favorably utilized by insured populations. However, there are 45 million Americans who are uninsured and who do not have access to telephone nursing. A telephone triage service was piloted for local uninsured residents. Within the 17-month trial period, 320 calls were received, representing 207 clients. This study reports on the results of the telephone survey with a cross-sectional sample of uninsured triage patrons (N = 80). One half reported they would have sought other medical care if the telephone triage service had not be

Abstract:

The use of emergency departments (EDs) for potentially preventable visits is costly and inefficient. In Maryland, about 20%–30% of such visits are ambulatory care sensitive and thus potentially preventable. The uninsured are often perceived to account for a disproportionate share of such visits. This analysis aimed to (a) compare and explain the geographic variance in Maryland’s potentially preventable ED visit (PPV) rates for the total and uninsured populations and (b) test the predictive value of regression models developed. Geographic hot spots of increased PPV rates were highly correlated

Abstract:

Health services research conducted over the past 25 years makes a compelling case that having health insurance or using more medical care would improve the health of the uninsured. The literature's broad range of conditions, populations, and methods makes it difficult to derive a precise quantitative estimate of the effect of having health insurance on the uninsured's health. Some mortality studies imply that a 4% to 5% reduction in the uninsured's mortality is a lower bound; other studies suggest that the reductions could be as high as 20% to 25%.

Since the release of Healthy People 2020, there has been extensive research understanding factors associated with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among specific populations.

The purposes of the present study were to assess clinic staff to determine: (1) whether there is a need to examine HRQoL among uninsured/underinsured individuals, (2) whether there is a need for tailored HRQoL-promoting interventions among uninsured/underinsured ind

Objective To assess the influence of insurance status on STEMI outcomes. Methods Adult (>18 years) STEMI admissions were identified using the National Inpatient Sample database (2000–2017). Expected primary payer was classified into Medicare, Medicaid, private, uninsured and others. Outcomes of interest included in-hospital mortality, use of coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), hospitalizat

Purpose To examine change in the percent uninsured and early-stage diagnosis among nonelderly patients with newly diagnosed cancer after the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Patients and Methods By using the National Cancer Data Base, we estimated absolute change (APC) and relative change in percent uninsured among patients with newly diagnosed cancer age 18 to 64 years between 2011 to the third quarter of 2013 (pre-ACA implementation) and the second to fourth quarter of 2014 (post-ACA) in Medicaid expansion and nonexpansion states by family income level.

Abstract Introduction Post-discharge services, such as outpatient wound care, may affect long term health outcomes and post-recovery quality of life. Access to these services may vary according to insurance status and ability to withstand out-of-pocket expenses. Our objective was to compare discharge location between burn patients who were uninsured, publicly insured, or privately insured at the time of their burn unit admissions. We hypothesized that uninsured patients were more likely to be discharged to locations with fewer wound care resources. Methods A retrospective review from July 1, 2

Abstract:

The purpose of this research project is to examine the association between household environmental safety and stress among uninsured primary care patients who live in poverty. Data were collected from patients of a free clinic using a self-administered survey in Fall 2019. A total of 559 patients participated in the survey. Higher levels of concern regarding environmental issues at home are associated with higher levels of perceived stress. The following demographic characteristics were associated with higher levels of concern regarding household environmental safety issues— higher educational

Abstract:

Case management is a rapidly growing strategy to help vulnerable populations access the health care they need in a fragmented U.S. service delivery system. A number of lessons can be learned from the successes and challenges of a developing, hospital-based, community-focused case management group in Sedgwick County, Kansas. The Community Case Management program has a case management team based at each of four hospitals. Each team has a social worker and a nurse, whose main goal is to help the uninsured find a primary health care home. This dynamic combination has several benefits. Each team me

Abstract:

Contemporary debates on health and immigration reform often display a lack of understanding of how limited health care access can aggravate problems and contribute to major disparities. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010, designed to ensure broader health insurance coverage for populations across the United States, is likely to actually reduce access to care for many immigrants by isolating them from the general, formerly uninsured, population (Arredondo et al. 2012; Bustamante et al. 2012; Zuckerman, Waidmann, and Lawton 2011). These changes will become increasingly relevant to practicing

Abstract:

Previous research has demonstrated that nonclinical factors are associated with differences in clinical care, with uninsured patients receiving decreased resource use. Studies on trauma populations have also shown unclear relationships between insurance status and hospital length of stay (LOS), a commonly used metric for evaluating quality of care. The objective of this study is to define the relationship between insurance status and LOS after trauma using the largest available national trauma dataset and controlling for significant confounders.

AbstractTransgender and gender diverse (TGD), Black, and Latinx communities have long borne a disproportionate share of the U.S. HIV epidemic, yet these same key demographics are continually underrepresented in national PrEP prescriptions. Black, Latinx, and TGD individuals are also more likely to be uninsured, meaning that a proposed federal program to cover PrEP for people without insurance could provide significant benefit to potential PrEP users from these populations. However, coverage of PrEP costs alone will not end disparities in uptake. This commentary provides additional context and

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition in the United States that is strongly linked to metabolic disease, cardiovascular disease, and increased mortality. Uninsured populations experience sleep health disparities, including delayed recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of OSA due to barriers accessing and affording care. Partnerships between primary care clinics and sleep medicine specialists for sleep apnea management have the potential to increase screening, testing, and treatment among underserved populations.

Abstract:

Uninsured primary care patients tend to experience barriers to autonomy in clinical decision-making due to limited choices of healthcare facilities and low health literacy. This study examined whether certain factors, including the component of patient-centeredness, are associated with patient autonomy among these populations and contribute to reducing disparities in healthcare. This was a cross-sectional study using a convenience sample of free clinic patients aged 18 years and older who spoke English and/or Spanish. Multiple regression analyses were performed to understand factors associated
