Virtual Versus In-Person Intensive Outpatient Treatment for Eating Disorders During the COVID-19 Pandemic in United States–Based Treatment Facilities: Naturalistic Study

Virtual Versus In-Person Intensive Outpatient Treatment for Eating Disorders During the COVID-19 Pandemic in United States–Based Treatment Facilities: Naturalistic Study

Schlegl et al [2] found that while 70% of patients with EDs reported an increase in symptoms after the onset of COVID-19, access to in-person therapy decreased by 37% at the same time. Only 26% of patients surveyed used videoconferencing for therapy. In addition, and contrary to the promise of more access, telehealth modalities have been shown to sometimes increase disparities due to race and age [5].

Improving Diet Quality of People Living With Obesity by Building Effective Dietetic Service Delivery Using Technology in a Primary Health Care Setting: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Improving Diet Quality of People Living With Obesity by Building Effective Dietetic Service Delivery Using Technology in a Primary Health Care Setting: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Publicly supported bariatric surgery waiting lists are long and triaged to those with a BMI≥40 kg/m2 with obesity-related complications, and while recently pharmacological treatments have been increasingly used in the treatment of obesity [7], issues with availability and cost limit the access to these pharmacological treatments. In addition, not everyone has access to or wishes to choose the pharmacological pathway.

The Importance of Telerehabilitation and Future Directions for the Field

The Importance of Telerehabilitation and Future Directions for the Field

It allows for the provision of services to patients who would otherwise be unable to access in-person services due to distance (ie, individuals living in rural and remote locations), disabilities that limit their ability to travel to in-person appointments, and the absence of caregivers who can assist with travel. Telerehabilitation comprises diagnosing, evaluating, and managing health care for individuals with physical, cognitive, or social impairment and disability [2].

Evaluation of Financial Support Workshops for Patients Under State Pension Age With Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Survey Study

Evaluation of Financial Support Workshops for Patients Under State Pension Age With Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Survey Study

Whilst this provides an estimate of the current “demand” and potential future “societal cost” of DCM, the practicalities of ensuring that people with DCM can access support is seldom straightforward, since social support systems differ by both jurisdiction and patient circumstance.

Simulation of Contraceptive Access for Adolescents and Young Adults Using a Pharmacist-Staffed e-Platform: Development, Usability, and Pilot Testing Study

Simulation of Contraceptive Access for Adolescents and Young Adults Using a Pharmacist-Staffed e-Platform: Development, Usability, and Pilot Testing Study

Despite evidence showing the value of access to sex education and contraceptive services in reducing pregnancy rates among AYA, laws restricting access to both are increasingly being introduced and passed in US state legislatures. Legal restrictions intensify barriers, such as cost, attending appointments, stigma, and more to accessing contraceptives [5,6], which disproportionately affects low-income, disabled, racial or ethnic minorities, and other marginalized women and other birthing people [7].

Access to Health Care and Use of Health Care Services Among Males in Africa: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Access to Health Care and Use of Health Care Services Among Males in Africa: Protocol for a Scoping Review

To this end, the primary objective of this scoping review is to map evidence on males’ access to and use of health care services and identify gaps for targeted, context-specific strategies to improve males’ health outcomes, particularly in Africa. We will use a scoping review approach to map out existing evidence on males’ health-seeking behavior and access to and uptake of health care services in Africa.

Association Between Digital Front Doors and Social Care Use for Community-Dwelling Adults in England: Cross-Sectional Study

Association Between Digital Front Doors and Social Care Use for Community-Dwelling Adults in England: Cross-Sectional Study

Without accessible information and streamlined application procedures, individuals may be less able to access social care support, causing unmet needs to escalate [3,4]. Therefore, developing front door arrangements is crucial to ensure that people can access available and timely services, potentially preventing or delaying the escalation of care needs. Researchers and policy makers have recently become increasingly attentive to deploying digital front door arrangements to facilitate service access.

Access to Primary Care Telemedicine and Visit Characterization in a Pediatric, Low-Income, Primarily Latino Population: Retrospective Study

Access to Primary Care Telemedicine and Visit Characterization in a Pediatric, Low-Income, Primarily Latino Population: Retrospective Study

In some cases, families were assisted to create email accounts, as this was required for account access. A subset of patients with high risk was additionally prioritized by the primary care sites for outreach. Patients were deemed high risk by the criteria of the federal Maternal and Child Health Bureau’s children with special health care needs designation [8].

Opportunities to Address Specialty Care Deserts and the Digital Divide through the Veterans Health Administration’s Telehealth Hub-and-Spoke Cardiology Clinic: Retrospective Cohort Study

Opportunities to Address Specialty Care Deserts and the Digital Divide through the Veterans Health Administration’s Telehealth Hub-and-Spoke Cardiology Clinic: Retrospective Cohort Study

Access to specialty care varies widely across US geographic regions, a pattern that poses problems for the delivery of cardiology care within the Veterans Health Administration (VA) [1-3]. Given the high prevalence of cardiovascular disease and associated morbidity and mortality among veterans [4], maintaining access to cardiology care is essential.

Data Ownership in the AI-Powered Integrative Health Care Landscape

This is especially concerning in the context of IHC, where expanded access to data raises the stakes for patients who could face negative consequences for past medical decisions, such as declining to seek treatment or noncompliance.
