Surgical Patients’ Hospital Experience Scores: Neighborhood Context Conceptual Framework

Objective: Through geocoding the physical residential address included in the electronic medical record to the census tract level, we present a novel model for concomitant examination of individual patient-related and residential context-related factors that are associated with patient-reported experience scores. Summary Background Data: When assessing patient experience in the surgical setting, researchers need to examine the potential influence of neighborhood-level characteristics on patient experience-of-care ratings. Methods: We geocoded the residential address included in the electronic medical record (EMR) from a tertiary care facility to the census tract level of Orange County, CA. We then linked each individual record to the matching census tract and use hierarchical regression analyses to test the impact of distinct neighborhood conditions on patient experience. This approach allows us to estimate how each neighborhood characteristic uniquely influences Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) scores. Results: Individuals residing in communities characterized by high levels of socioeconomic disadvantage have the highest experience ratings. Accounting for individual patient’s characteristics such as age, gender, race/ethnicity, primary language spoken at home, length of stay, and average pain levels during their hospital stay, neighborhood-level characteristics such as proportions of people receiving public assistance influence the ratings of hospital experience (0.01, P \u3c 0.05) independent of, and beyond, these individual-level factors. Conclusions: This manuscript is an example of how geocoding could be used to analyze surgical patient experience scores. In this analysis, we have shown that neighborhood-level characteristics influence the ratings of hospital experience independent of, and beyond, individual-level factors

The impacts of discriminatory experiences on lesbian, gay and bisexual people in sport

This study examines the nature and impact of sexist and homophobic discrimination experienced by lesbians, gays and bisexuals (LGB) in Australian sporting settings. A mixed methods online survey was utilized to collate participant experiences. The findings suggest that, in sport, participants experienced sexism directly and systemically, and homophobia explicitly and implicitly. Women experienced sexism and homophobia, whilst men reported more homophobic events. The most mentioned impacts of discrimination were negative emotions such as sadness, anger, distress and shame, followed by negative engagement with sport such as disliking sport, or avoiding or leaving sport. The well-recognized benefits of sport such as physical and mental well-being, social connections, enjoyment, positive identity and achievement may be more difficult to realize within this context of significant social stress

Senior Inquiry: A University/High School Collaboration

Portland State University has been collaborating with four area high schools to deliver a high school course based on the university\u27s Freshman Inquiry model. Senior Inquiry is taught by a team of high school and university faculty partnered with peer mentors from the university. It is designed to provide college experience and credit for any senior in good academic standing who wants to gain the skills needed to succeed in college

Migrating from One Comprehensive Commercial EHR to Another: Perceptions of Front-line Clinicians and Staff.

As healthcare organizations continue to grow and evolve, migrations from one commercial electronic health record (EHR) system to another are likely to become more common. However, little is known about front-line clinicians' and staff's perceptions of such changes. Our study addresses this gap through an organization-wide survey of employees immediately prior to the transition to a new commercial EHR. We found that almost all front-line clinicians and staff were aware of the upcoming migration, and that most felt positive or neutral about the change, with only about 11% indicating that they were uncomfortable with the migration. Reasons for discomfort included the beliefs that the new EHR will be more time consuming to use and that moving to a new EHR is too costly, as well as concerns about the migration process. Attitudes differed by demographic characteristics and satisfaction with the current EHR. We discuss the implications of these results
