Emergency Department Utilization Among Recently Released Prisoners: A Retrospective Cohort Study, Suyanpeng Zhang, Allie Silverman, Sze Chaun Suen, Christina Andrews, Brian Chen

Faculty Publications

Background: The population of ex-prisoners returning to their communities is large. Morbidity and mortality is increased during the period following release. Understanding utilization of emergency services by this population may inform interventions to reduce adverse outcomes. We examined Emergency Department utilization among a cohort of recently released prisoners.

Methods: We linked Rhode Island Department of Corrections records with electronic health record data from a large hospital system from 2007 to 2009 to analyze emergency department utilization for mental health disorders, substance use disorders and ambulatory care sensitive conditions by ex-prisoners in the year after release from prison in comparison to …

Development And Evaluation Of An Ontology-Based Quality Metrics Extraction System, Sina Madani

Dissertations and Theses (Open Access)

The Institute of Medicine reports a growing demand in recent years for quality improvement within the healthcare industry. In response, numerous organizations have been involved in the development and reporting of quality measurement metrics. However, disparate data models from such organizations shift the burden of accurate and reliable metrics extraction and reporting to healthcare providers. Furthermore, manual abstraction of quality metrics and diverse implementation of Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems deepens the complexity of consistent, valid, explicit, and comparable quality measurement reporting within healthcare provider organizations.

The main objective of this research is to evaluate an ontology-based information extraction framework …

Research Note: Biometric Technology Applications And Trends In Hotels, Anil Bilgihan, Ersem Karadag, Cihan Cobanoglu, Fevzi Okumus

Rosen Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

The purpose of this study is to investigate the biometrics technologies adopted by hotels and the perception of hotel managers toward biometric technology applications. A descriptive, cross sectional survey was developed based on extensive review of literature and expert opinions. The population for this survey was property level executive managers in the U.S. hotels. Members of American Hotel and Lodging Association (AHLA) were selected as the target population for this study. The most frequent use of biometric technology is by hotel employees in the form of fingerprint scanning. Cost still seems to be one of the major barriers to adoption …

U.S. And Romanian Executive Mba Students: A Cross-Cultural Comparison, Ernest A. Capozzoli, David E. Gundersen, Marcel Duhaneanu

Journal of Executive Education

Currently, there are over 260 EMBA programs worldwide with approximately 180 programs resident in the United States. The number of programs available for EMBA students has increased competition for those students. One characteristic of this increased competition between EMBA programs is the addition of global initiatives to expose students to other cultures. Part of this global initiative has resulted in alliances and the establishment of working relationships between educational institutions. To facilitate and enhance the learning experience while in an EMBA program these alliances should consider the impact culture plays in shaping student expectations. This paper addresses the question of …

Minimizing Part D Costs For Medicare Beneficiaries: Not Just A Drop In The Bucket, Rajul A. Patel, Kate M. O'Dell, Kim-Anh Vo, Tiffany Chu, Kenneth Wang, Shu Lu, Joseph A. Woelfel, Sian M. Carr-Lopez, Suzanne M. Galal, Berit Gundersen

School of Pharmacy Faculty Presentations

Background: Although Medicare Part D has been largely successful in providing prescription drug coverage for Medicare beneficiaries, many continue to be burdened with unnecessary out-of-pocket (OOP) costs. Objective: This study sought to identify the frequency and impact of cost-lowering strategies used to assist Medicare beneficiaries with their Part D drug costs. Methods: Twelve outreach events were conducted in 6 different cities throughout Northern/Central California during the 2013 Medicare open enrollment period. During each event, trained student pharmacists under the supervision of licensed pharmacists assisted beneficiaries to minimize their OOP costs. Individualized assistance included: optimization of the beneficiary's Part D plan, …

Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Costs And Plan Satisfaction As A Function Of Student Pharmacists' Assistance, Rajul A. Patel, Kate M. O'Dell, Kenneth Wang, Shu Lu, Tiffany Chu, Kim-Anh Vo, Sian M. Carr-Lopez, Joseph A. Woelfel, Suzanne M. Galal, Berit Gundersen

School of Pharmacy Faculty Presentations

Background: Beneficiaries can become overwhelmed by the myriad of Medicare Part D (MPD) plans that offer prescription drug coverage. Poor choice and increased out-of-pocket (OOP) costs can be reduced through annual plan reevaluation. Objective: To examine beneficiaries' plan satisfaction and MPD drug costs as a function of prior assistance from trained student pharmacists. Methods: Twelve outreach events, nine at the same location as the previous year, were held throughout Northern/Central California during October-November 2012. Trained student pharmacists, at each event, identified the MPD plan best meeting a beneficiary's needs based on their current medications and personal preferences (e.g., preferred pharmacy). …

Simulating The Performance Of Tracking A Spinning Missile At C-Band, Darren Robert Kartchner

Theses and Dissertations

The amplitude fluctuation induced by a spinning missile acts as a disturbance on tracking schemes that use sequential lobing (e.g., conscan). In addition, if a tracking system converts from S-band to C-band, the beamwidth is narrower and the wrap-around antenna on the missile requires more patches, and so the margin of error for tracking decreases. Tracking performance is simulated with a spinning missile with ballistic and fly-by trajectories while running at C-band. The spinning missile causes a periodic component in the pointing error, and when the scan frequency is an integer multiple of the roll rate, several tracking schemes lose …

Role Of Faah-Like Anandamide Transporter In Anandamide Inactivation, Kwannok Leung, Matthew W. Elmes, Sherrye T. Glaser, Dale G. Deutsch, Martin Kaczocha

Publications and Research

The endocannabinoid system modulates numerous physiological processes including nociception and reproduction. Anandamide (AEA) is an endocannabinoid that is inactivated by cellular uptake followed by intracellular hydrolysis by fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH). Recently, FAAH-like anandamide transporter (FLAT), a truncated and catalytically-inactive variant of FAAH, was proposed to function as an intracellular AEA carrier and mediate its delivery to FAAH for hydrolysis. Pharmacological inhibition of FLAT potentiated AEA signaling and produced antinociceptive effects. Given that endocannabinoids produce analgesia through central and peripheral mechanisms, the goal of the current work was to examine the expression of FLAT in the central and peripheral …

Rural Breast Cancer Patients And Survivors Perspectives Using Online Health Resources, Julie W. Merten, Kim Walsh-Childers, Lakeisha Rodman, Mary Ellen Young, Natalie Birchwood

Public Health Faculty Research and Scholarship

Background: Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women, with over 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the United States. These patients, survivors and their loved ones use the Internet to find information about breast cancer, search for treatment options and connect with support groups. For women in medically underserved areas, especially rural areas, the Internet could be one of their only sources of information.
Objective: The study investigates rural breast cancer patients’ and survivors’ motivations to seek online information, ability to use the Internet as a health information source, barriers to finding the information they …
