A Role For Scenario Planning In Rural Hospitals, Linda Kimsey, Bettye Apenteng, Anna Rose Moore, Angela Peden
A Role For Scenario Planning In Rural Hospitals, Linda Kimsey, Bettye Apenteng, Anna Rose Moore, Angela Peden
Research & Practice Briefs
Highlights: Scenario planning typically focuses on the future, beyond the normal strategic planning horizon. It has been used primarily by large organizations, but it can be useful to organizations of any size trying to develop strategy for the future. COVID-19 has arguably broadened planners’ perspectives, thus emphasizing potential benefits from scenario planning for organizations, both large and small. Rural hospitals may find some scenario planning beneficial.
Background: Formal introduction of scenario planning in the U.S. can be traced to Herman Kahn’s use of stories in military planning. Royal Dutch-Shell’s use of scenario planning is widely noted as the first big …
The Use Of Penalized Regression Analysis To Identify County-Level Demographic And Socioeconomic Variables Predictive Of Increased Covid-19 Cumulative Case Rates In The State Of Georgia, Holly L. Richmond, Joana Tome, Haresh Rochani, Isaac Chun-Hai Fung, Gulzar H. Shah, Jessica S. Schwind

Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Environmental Health Sciences Faculty Publications
Systemic inequity concerning the social determinants of health has been known to affect morbidity and mortality for decades. Significant attention has focused on the individual-level demographic and co-morbid factors associated with rates and mortality of COVID-19. However, less attention has been given to the county-level social determinants of health that are the main drivers of health inequities. To identify the degree to which social determinants of health predict COVID-19 cumulative case rates at the county-level in Georgia, we performed a sequential, cross-sectional ecologic analysis using a diverse set of socioeconomic and demographic variables. Lasso regression was used to identify variables …
Dynamic Core Flexion Strength Is Important For Using Arm-Swing To Improve Countermovement Jump Height, Liang Guo, Ying Wu, Li Li
Dynamic Core Flexion Strength Is Important For Using Arm-Swing To Improve Countermovement Jump Height, Liang Guo, Ying Wu, Li Li
Department of Health Sciences and Kinesiology Faculty Publications
Background: Specificity of core strength training to sports events is crucial for performance improvement. The purpose of this study was to examine the specific relationship between core strength and countermovement jump (CMJ) performance. Methods: Twenty active college students (7 male, 13 female) participated in the project. CMJ heights with (HAS) and without arm-swing (HNAS) were estimated from vertical ground reaction force data collected using a force platform. Twelve dynamic and static core strength measurements of flexion and extension were tested using a dynamometer. The shared variance between CMJ height and core strength measurements was estimated using …

Ceo Turnover In Georgia Rural Hospitals, 2011-2017, Bettye Apenteng, Samuel Opoku, Linda Kimsey, Charles Owens, Bill Mase, Angela Peden
Research & Practice Briefs
Highlights: The average annual turnover rate in Georgia rural hospitals between 2011 and 2017 was 24%, with a low of 17% in 2012 and in 2015 and a high of 37% in 2016. Between 2011 and 2017, rural hospitals had on average, approximately two CEO changes, with 46% reporting three or more CEO changes. Annual turnover rates were found to be consistently higher in rural prospectively paid (PPS) hospitals, compared to Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs).
Background: Hospital chief executive officer (CEO) turnover rates have increased nationally over the last decade, increasing from 15% in 2007 to 18% in …

Blood Transfusion: Knowledge, Perspectives, And Experiences Of Individuals With Sickle Cell Disease, Raymona H. Lawrence, Ashley Singleton, Jane Branscomb
Blood Transfusion: Knowledge, Perspectives, And Experiences Of Individuals With Sickle Cell Disease, Raymona H. Lawrence, Ashley Singleton, Jane Branscomb
Department of Health Policy and Community Health Faculty Publications
Patient voice and perspective were needed to inform effective, comprehensive strategies for reducing preventable transfusion-associated complications. This report presents the results of interviews with sickle cell disease (SCD) patients and implications for strategies to reduce transfusion complications in this population. Twenty-two participants were recruited from 2 comprehensive SCD treatment centers in Georgia and interviewed regarding knowledge about transfusions and potential complications, attitudes about data storage and sharing, and the transfusion experience. Participants had general knowledge of physiology, blood products, and blood transfusions, including knowing the risk of complications, but varied in comprehension of complex health information and level of misinformation. …

To determine the transmission potential of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in Iran in 2020, we estimated the reproduction number as 4.4 (95% CI 3.9–4.9) by using a generalized growth model and 3.5 (95% CI 1.3–8.1) by using epidemic doubling time. The reproduction number decreased to 1.55 after social distancing interventions were implemented.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic prompted universities across the United States to close campuses in Spring 2020. Universities are deliberating whether, when, and how they should resume in-person instruction in Fall 2020. In this essay, we discuss some practical considerations for the use of 2 potentially useful control strategies based on testing: (1) severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing followed by case-patient isolation and quarantine of close contacts, and (2) serological testing followed by an “immune shield” approach, that is, low social distancing requirements for seropositive persons. The isolation of case-patients and …

Epidemiology Of Cancers In Men Who Have Sex With Men (Msm): A Protocol For Umbrella Review Of Systematic Reviews, Manoj Kumar Honaryar, Yelena Tarasenko, Maribel Almonte, Vitaly Smelov
Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Environmental Health Sciences Faculty Publications
While earlier studies on men having sex with men (MSM) tended to examine infection-related cancers, an increasing number of studies have been focusing on effects of sexual orientation on other cancers and social and cultural causes for cancer disparities. As a type of tertiary research, this umbrella review (UR) aims to synthesize findings from existing review studies on the effects of sexual orientation on cancer. Relevant peer-reviewed systematic reviews (SRs) will be identified without date or language restrictions using MEDLINE, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and the International Prospective Register for Systematic Reviews, among others. The research team members will …

Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an autosomal recessive blood disorder affecting approximately 100,000 Americans and 3.1 million people globally. The scarcity of relevant knowledge and experience with rare diseases creates a unique need for cooperation and infrastructure to overcome challenges in translating basic research advances into clinical advances. Despite registry initiatives in SCD, the unavailability of descriptions of the selection process and copies of final data collection tools, coupled with incomplete representation of the SCD population hampers further research progress. This manuscript describes the SCDIC (Sickle Cell Disease Implementation Consortium) Registry development and makes the SCDIC Registry baseline …

During the yellow fever epidemic in Angola in 2016, cases of yellow fever were reported in China for the first time. The 11 cases, all Chinese nationals returning from Angola, were identified in March and April 2016, one to two weeks after the peak of the Angolan epidemic. One patient died; the other 10 cases recovered after treatment. This paper reviews the epidemiological characteristics of the 11 yellow fever cases imported into China. It examines case detection and disease control and surveillance, and presents recommendations for further action to prevent additional importation of yellow fever into China.
