All-Payer Claims Database Development Manual: Establishing a Foundation for Health Care Transparency and Informed Decision Making

With support from the Gary and Mary West Health Policy Center, the APCD Council has developed a manual for states to develop all-payer claims databases. Titled All-Payer Claims Database Development Manual: Establishing a Foundation for Health Care Transparency and Informed Decision Making, the manual is a first-of its-kind resource that provides states with detailed guidance on common data standards, collection, aggregation and analysis involved with establishing these databases

Clinical Competencies for the Care of Hospitalized Patients with Alcohol Use Disorders

© 2020 The Author(s) 2020. Medical Council on Alcohol and Oxford University Press. Aims: The UK government aims to develop alcohol care teams (ACTs) that provide care for alcohol dependence in general hospital settings. Service descriptors have been identified to support the development of ACTs. The aim of this study was to use Delphi panel principles to identify the clinical competencies required to provide these elements of service. Methods: We formed an expert consensus panel of 24 senior clinical alcohol practitioners, leaders and experts by experience drawn from all regions of England. The study was divided into three distinct phases: (a) a review and synthesis of current literature in this area, (b) a face-to-face meeting of the expert panel and (c) subsequent iterations to refine the competencies until consensus was reached. Results: Our initial search strategy resulted in 555 competency statements being extracted from a range of national clinical professional and occupational standards and other sources. The research team refined these statements to 98 competencies in advance of the expert meeting. The panel identified 14 additional statements and reduced the number of competencies to 78. Subsequent iterations finalized 72 competencies across the 8 service descriptors. Conclusions: Drawing on the existing published resources and clinical experience, the expert panel has provided consensus on the core clinical competencies required for alcohol care teams in caring for hospitalized patients with alcohol use disorders. Whilst it is acknowledged that the range of current provision is variable, these competencies provide a template for clinical practice and the development of multidisciplinary ACTs

Effects of Manual Therapy and Dry Needling Techniques for Managing Hypertonicity in the Male Pelvic Floor: A Case Report

Background: Dry needling is beneficial for decreasing hypertonicity and improving musculoskeletal dysfunction within various tissues of the body. There is limited research using dry needling for pelvic floor hypertonicity. The purpose of this case report is to describe the effectiveness of a multi-modal intervention utilizing dry needling for a 27-year-old male with a hypertonic pelvic floor. Study Design: Case study with review of literature. Case Description: This patient was a 27-year-old Caucasian male with a diagnosis of chronic prostatitis/epididymitis. His primary complaint was pain with prolonged sitting in the right testicle. Treatment consisted of dry needling trigger points, myofascial release, manual therapy, and exercise for hip and core stability. Outcomes: The patient attended 38 sessions over 7 months of physical therapy. The patient had a baseline Focus on Therapeutic Outcomes (FOTO) score of 67, with an overall change of 50 points at discharge. Initially, he reported pain based on the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) of 10/10 at worst that gradually decreased to a 2/10 at worst. The patient demonstrated clinically meaningful functional and symptomatic improvements from initial evaluation to discharge. Discussion: Dry needling and manual therapy techniques demonstrated significant improvement for addressing pelvic floor hypertonicity in this patient. He demonstrated increased hip strength, decreased pelvic floor tenderness, and pain. He refused internal assessment and treatment, which may have been a contributing factor to the increased number of overall visits. Further investigation is recommended to determine whether dry needling can be utilized independently of other manual therapy interventions
