Health Care Linkage Project: Improving Access To Care, Martha G. Ferguson, Lon Berkeley, Louis Fourcher, Belinda Guyton, Linda Ross Reiner

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The primary objective of the Health Care Linkage Project, funded by a grant from the Chicago Community Trust, is to develop, implement, and evaluate a primary health care linkage network within the city of Chicago that creates formalized linkages between community health centers, the Chicago Department of Health clinics, and hospitals. Six linkage networks are currently operational, with an additional two sites phased in during 1991. The success of the pilot project has been demonstrated by hundreds of patients receiving primary care and ancillary services on a more timely basis, by greater coordination between the public and private sector, by …

Community Health Centers: A Resource For Service And Training, Joan Hedgecock, Maria Castro, William B. Cruikshank

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The American Medical Student Association (AMSA) Foundation is assisting the U.S. Public Health Service in increasing the number of primary care physicians trained and committed to practice in medically underserved areas. In collaboration with the American Academy of Family Physicians, the Ambulatory Pediatrics Association, and the Society of General Internal Medicine, AMSA conducted an assessment of federally-funded residency programs to identify and describe their affiliations with federally-funded community and migrant health centers (CIMHCs). Of the 260 programs assessed and the 147 responses, 125 offer community-based training. Of these, 73 offer training in primary care centers and 39 offer training in …

Health Care Consortia: A Mechanism For Increasing Access For The Medically Indigent, Patricia A. Caplan, Bonnie Lefkowitz, Lynn Spector Mar 1992

Health Care Consortia: A Mechanism For Increasing Access For The Medically Indigent, Patricia A. Caplan, Bonnie Lefkowitz, Lynn Spector

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

In response to poor coordination among health and social service providers, health care consortia have emerged in many areas of the United States. Consortia link multiple providers in a common structure to create comprehensive systems of care. They can he formally structured or informal combinations of providers that engage in coordination hut otherwise do not comprise an independent organization. The functions most common among all types of consortia are shared services and service coordination; however, a number of consortia also operate outreach/education programs. Consortia represent an innovative response to the need both for vertical integration—case management of all levels of …

An Update On The Role Of Ploidy In Prostate Carcinoma, Jill M. Peters-Gee Mar 1992

An Update On The Role Of Ploidy In Prostate Carcinoma, Jill M. Peters-Gee

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

One of the characteristic features of prostate carcinoma is its marked variation in biologic behavior. DNA quantitation has been studied in prostate carcinoma using a variety of techniques. Evaluation of tumor ploidy suggests that this may be the best predictor of the biologic behavior of prostate cancer in individual patients. This comprehensive review addresses the current studies, stage by stage, to clarify the clinical significance of these findings.

Primary Papillary Serous Carcinoma Of The Peritoneum: A Case Of Complete Remission Of Bulky Peritoneal Disease After Chemotherapy, Walid A. Saleh, Cosmas J. M. Van De Ven, Wooshin Kim Mar 1992

Primary Papillary Serous Carcinoma Of The Peritoneum: A Case Of Complete Remission Of Bulky Peritoneal Disease After Chemotherapy, Walid A. Saleh, Cosmas J. M. Van De Ven, Wooshin Kim

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Peritoneal papillary serous carcinoma is a rare tumor that involves the surface of the pelvic and/or abdominal peritoneum. Long-term survival among patients with this tumor has been rare. Most patients with this cancer have been treated with debulking surgery and postoperative chemotherapy. A case of incompletely resected peritoneal papillary serous carcinoma with a complete response to cisplatin-based chemotherapy is reported. Subsequent laparotomy revealed no residual tumor. This case suggests that primary chemotherapy may be successful in treating unresectable primary papillary serous tumors of the peritoneum.

Testotoxicosis: Gonadotrophin-Independent Male Sexual Precocity, A A. Aziz, S M. Jafri, N U. Haque

Section of Pulmonary & Critical Care

In this era of rapidly developing investigational tools and pharmacology, the pathophysiology of precocious puberty is becoming well defined. What was previously thought to be a form of gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GNRH)-dependent central precocious puberty is now classified as GNRH-independent familial testotoxicosis. We present two such cases and review the clinical features, pathophysiology and treatment of testotoxicosis.

Training The Urban Health Care Provider: One Department's First Steps, James Schindler Mar 1992

Training The Urban Health Care Provider: One Department's First Steps, James Schindler

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

As our country faces a national crisis in health care, few have outlined plans to improve the shortage of primary care physicians. This is especially critical in urban areas where sociocultural impacts on health are large. The Department of Family Practice and Community Medicine at the University of Texas School of Medicine in Houston has begun development of a division of Urban Family Medicine to address the special training needs of the urban family practitioner. Subdivisions that have been formed focus on undergraduate curriculum, graduate educational strategies, service, and research and policy to further develop the training model.

Federal, State, And Local Partnerships In Providing Primary Care: One Urban Health Department's Endeavor With A State University Medical Center, Joy L. Getzenberg, D. Patrick Lenihan Mar 1992

Federal, State, And Local Partnerships In Providing Primary Care: One Urban Health Department's Endeavor With A State University Medical Center, Joy L. Getzenberg, D. Patrick Lenihan

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

We describe how the federal government, the City of Chicago, and the State of Illinois worked together to increase the availability and accessibility of health care services on Chicago's underserved west side by reopening a bankrupt, federally-funded community health center. The federal government made the building available to the City which then contracted with a state university medical center to be the provider of services. This partnering has allowed the Chicago Department of Health to offer services in a previously underserved area. The University has gained an opportunity for community-based primary care teaching, as well as community relations. Patients have …

Public Health Care Delivery In Five U.S. Municipalities: Lessons And Implications, David G. Whiteis, J. Warren Salmon Mar 1992

Public Health Care Delivery In Five U.S. Municipalities: Lessons And Implications, David G. Whiteis, J. Warren Salmon

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Increasing pressures on private and public hospitals have necessitated a reassessment of urban health care delivery. Patients left unserved by stressed private hospitals have placed a greater burden on public institutions, which themselves are often old, underfunded, and in danger of closure. As policy analysts consider remedies, primary care in community-based settings has reemerged as an important component of planning. We present results of a comparative analysis of five public health care delivery systems (Boston, Dallas, Denver, Milwaukee, and Seattle), reflecting their economic, political, and cultural dynamics. Although significant differences in the relative centralization of care and reliance on community-based …

The Structure And Function Of Urban Pharmacies: Visits To Community Pharmacies In Inner-City Chicago, Thomas J. Reutzel, Laura A. Wilson Mar 1992

The Structure And Function Of Urban Pharmacies: Visits To Community Pharmacies In Inner-City Chicago, Thomas J. Reutzel, Laura A. Wilson

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Visits were made to 21 pharmacies in two poor neighborhoods on the west side of Chicago and interviews conducted with pharmacists-in-charge. The objective of the study was to provide a comprehensive description of the function, capabilities, and problems of urban pharmacy. We present results on the structure and function of these inner-city pharmacies. The pharmacies fit one of three structural forms: chain, independent, or medical center. The majority of respondents viewed the function of the inner-city pharmacy as patient-centered but also identified several barriers to effective patient communication. The results suggest that inner-city physicians and pharmacists should communicate with patients …

Moving From Health Care Research To Action, Claudia R. Baquet, Katherine Marconi, George Alexander

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Although the United States spends more on health care than any country in the world, access to that care is becoming increasingly difficult. The National Cancer Institute and other federal agencies are sponsoring innovative research for delivering effective medical services, particularly to underserved populations. Models of successful collaboration between private and public sectors concerned with health care can be adapted and implemented at the national, state, and local levels. However, other measures are needed to ensure access to adequate health care for all Americans. Minimal but effective regulations are needed to ensure quality control, reduce duplication of services, and minimize …
