Abstract:

ABSTRACT This poster presentation demonstrates how geographic information systems (GISs) are being employed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Oil Pollution Response and Prevention Center (OPRPC) and regional oil program offices to assist in preventing, preparing for, and responding to oil spills within the United States. Over the past 2 years, EPA's OPRPC has played a key role in facilitating the exchange of spatial data within EPA as well as with various federal, state, and local organizations. Significant advancements have been made in collecting, analyzing, managi

However, across healthcare entities, patient satisfaction is typically assessed using local surveys making uniform analysis and trends over time difficult.

Abstract Across the United States, more than 25% of Americans have multiple chronic conditions that often impact quality of life, mortality, complexity of care and cost. The need for seamless interdisciplinary communication and data driven decision-making continues to grow, however, health care often remains fragmented, poorly coordinated and inefficient. A comprehensive, shared, interoperable e-care plan has the potential to improve patient outcomes, satisfaction, and quality of care by making comprehensive health data available across providers and settings when and where it is needed most.

Background Black Americans, particularly in the southern United States, are disproportionately affected by the US HIV epidemic. Patient-reported outcome (PRO) data collection can improve patient outcomes and provide oft-overlooked data on mental health, substance use, and patient adherence to antiretroviral therapy. Objective We piloted the use of an electronic tablet to collect PRO data on social and behavioral determinants of health among people with HIV at the Meharry Community Wellness Center, an HIV clinic affiliated with a Historically Black Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee.

Abstract Background In the United States, less than one-quarter of those who are eligible for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) have been prescribed the medication. Innovative strategies of PrEP delivery are needed to facilitate access and overcome barriers to care.

The attacks of September 11, 2001 on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were unprecedented in scope if not in their fundamental nature. While the United States moved toward resurrection of Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative, known popularly as “Star Wars”, and focused its resources on sophisticated weaponry, terrorists with primitive weapons turned commercial aircraft into guided missiles. The suddenness and enormity of the events, coupled with the fact that so many people were acquainted with victims of the attacks, created a sense of concern and confusion that was more pervasive and

The additional economic burden associated with lifelong prophylactic treatment is a major equity concern for patients with hemophilia A and their families.
