Understanding wheelchair use in older adults from the National Health and Aging Trends Study
CONCLUSIONS: Current wheelchair users reported more physical difficulties and were much less likely to go outside. This lower outdoor mobility could be due to physical difficulties or potential barriers in physical and socio-cultural environments. In addition, older adults who do not use wheelchairs showed increasing physical problems over time (including balance or coordination problems). Clinicians should consider older wheelchair users' health and physical limitations when prescribing wheelchairs.PMID:37734645 | DOI:10.1016/j.apmr.2023.09.006

Predicting hospitalizations for patients with chronic kidney disease

This algorithm could be used as a decision support tool for clinical programs focusing on management of patient populations with CKD.PMID:37729531 | DOI:10.37765/ajmc.2023.89428

Varied use of step therapy among Medicare Advantage plans
CONCLUSIONS: MA plans vary in the frequency with which they impose step therapy protocols in their Part B drug coverage policies. Moreover, insurers often impose different step therapy protocols in their MA plan and commercial plan offerings. Differences in plans' step therapy requirements may result in variability in patients' access to care within MA.PMID:37729529 | DOI:10.37765/ajmc.2023.89426

Healthcare IT Regulations – What Needs to Be Added and What Needs to Be Removed
There are a lot of rules and regulations in place in the world of healthcare. These are put into place in order to protect patients and organizations.

Tele-Neuropsychology: From Science to Policy to Practice
CONCLUSIONS: More studies of the reliability and validity of in-home tele-np-t using randomization methodology are necessary to support inclusion of tele-np-t codes on the CMS and CPT telehealth lists, and subsequently, the integration and delivery of in-home tele-np-t services across providers and institutions. These actions are needed to maintain equitable reimbursement of in-home tele-np-t services and address the widespread disparities in healthcare access.PMID:37715508 | DOI:10.1093/arclin/acad066

Retrospective cohort study investigating synergism of air pollution and corticosteroid exposure in promoting cardiovascular and thromboembolic events in older adults
Conclusion PM2.5 and systemic corticosteroid use were independently associated with increases in CTE hospitalisations. We also found evidence of significant additive interactions between the two exposures for HF and MI/ACSs suggesting synergy between these two exposures.

The 50th Anniversary of the Implementation of PL 92-603: A Major Change in the Care of Patients with End Stage Kidney Disease
Nephrol Nurs J. 2023 Jul-Aug;50(4):283-288.ABSTRACTFifty years ago, in July 1973, providing care to patients with end stage kidney disease changed dramatically with the implementation of legislation (PL 92-603) that deemed chronic renal disease to be a disability and provided coverage under Medicare for the treatment of the disease. In this article, we discuss the impact of the implementation of PL 92-603.PMID:37695513
