Simulation And Optimization Modeling For Drive-Through Mass Vaccination – A Generalized Approach, Aman Gupta, Gerald W. Evans, Sunderesh S. Heragu Dec 2013

Simulation And Optimization Modeling For Drive-Through Mass Vaccination – A Generalized Approach, Aman Gupta, Gerald W. Evans, Sunderesh S. Heragu

Aman Gupta

Proper planning and execution of mass vaccination at the onset of a pandemic outbreak is important for local health departments. Mass vaccination clinics are required to be setup and run for naturally occurring pandemic outbreaks or even in response to terrorist attacks, e.g., anthrax attack. Walk-in clinics have often been used to administer vaccines. When a large percentage of a population must be vaccinated to mitigate the ill-effects of an attack or pandemic, drive-through clinics appear to be more effective because a much higher throughput can be achieved when compared to walk-in clinics. There are other benefits as well. For …

Financial Incentives: Pay For Performance (P4p) And The Chronically Ill Patients, David Conley, Alberto Coustasse Sep 2013

Financial Incentives: Pay For Performance (P4p) And The Chronically Ill Patients, David Conley, Alberto Coustasse

Alberto Coustasse, DrPH, MD, MBA, MPH

P4P is the reimbursement incentive that is based on quality improvement, efficiency, which is dominating the healthcare landscape and CMS. A literature review was conducted to search for and review significant information regarding P4P and how it pertains to chronic conditions and reimbursement methods. This literature review displayed while some programs were able to display a benefit/ profit for those involved such as insurance companies, hospitals, physicians and/or patients, most programs were unable to establish quality measures, cost effectiveness and positive program outcomes worth noting.


Computer Physician Order Entry And Clinical Decision Support Systems: Benefits And Concerns, Joseph Shaffer, Alberto Coustasse Sep 2013

Computer Physician Order Entry And Clinical Decision Support Systems: Benefits And Concerns, Joseph Shaffer, Alberto Coustasse

Alberto Coustasse, DrPH, MD, MBA, MPH

Computerized Physician Order Entry has emerged as the greatest potential to decrease medications errors and improve efficiency. A literature review was conducted in systematic stages that included the research data from the last 25 years. Efficiencies were found with a decrease in overall workload of nurses, pharmacists and clerical workers. This led to decreased operating expenses. A secure way of transferring physician orders electronically will help hospitals and physicians practice a more efficient and higher quality of care in the US healthcare system.


Benefits And Constraints Of Telepsychiatry Utilization In The United States, Bruce A. Stec, Alberto Coustasse Sep 2013

Benefits And Constraints Of Telepsychiatry Utilization In The United States, Bruce A. Stec, Alberto Coustasse

Alberto Coustasse, DrPH, MD, MBA, MPH

This conference presentation describes the benefits and constraints of utilizing telemedicine primarily focusing on the field of psychiatry in the United States with the current system of healthcare. The utilization of telemedicine in the field of psychiatry is believed to provide better access, quality and care to the patients who necessitate psychiatric care in their overall medical care. Telemedicine has been a successfully integrated program into psychiatric facilities reaching rural, prisons or city facilities based on that it has increased the volume of patients in which physicians can reach out to and diagnose, as well as treat patients with limitations …

Ending The Specialty Hospital Wars: A Plea For Pilot Programs As Information-Forcing Regulatory Design, Frank Pasquale Aug 2013

Ending The Specialty Hospital Wars: A Plea For Pilot Programs As Information-Forcing Regulatory Design, Frank Pasquale

Frank A. Pasquale

This chapter focuses on the need for more targeted assessment of the impact of market forces on communities. Pilot programs encourage experimentation in the delivery system without risking widespread disruption of care for the uninsured and emergency services. The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has already embraced the idea of pilot programs in other contexts, and they could be especially appropriate if specialty hospitals were permitted in markets where general hospitals had a demonstrably poor record of community service. In such markets, cross-subsidization is probably already low, and specialty hospital threats to it are not as much of …


The Hippocratic Myth: Why Doctors Are Under Pressure To Ration Care, Practice Politics, And Compromise Their Promise To Heal, Frank Pasquale Aug 2013

The Hippocratic Myth: Why Doctors Are Under Pressure To Ration Care, Practice Politics, And Compromise Their Promise To Heal, Frank Pasquale

Frank A. Pasquale

Not many policymakers or scholars can write with the authority of Gregg Bloche. Bloche is not only a law professor, but a physician, who knows his way around a hospital. Throughout The Hippocratic Myth, Bloche cements his authority in the mind of the reader by relating stories of his experience as a clinician. In each of these stories, his humane and insightful approach as psychiatrist shines through. I do not say this to imply that Bloche uses his book to brag about his own abilities. Rather, these fluently-written passages strike one as the work of one of those rare practitioners …
