- title: When the Illness Goes Off Script—An Exercise in Clinical Reasoning
- date: 2016-03-14
- words: 2846
- flesch: 41
- summary: It is the mismatch between common illness scripts (pleural) 5 and a patient's presentation that prompts diagnosticians to consider rare diseases. Illness scripts are an adaptation from cognitive psychology's script theory.

- summary: Nevertheless, the widespread use of our tool highlights the willingness of the public to engage with digital health tools and self-assessment in this time of public health crisis. Automated assessment tools-such as digital self-assessment applications-offer a potential strategy for providing guidance to patients without requiring direct attention from healthcare professionals.

- summary: The neighborhood characteristic of population density as measured per square kilometer was similar for tested HCW vs. non-HCW while the population per housing unit was slightly higher. However, the overlap propensity score weighted proportions were 8.9 vs. 7.7 for HCW vs. non-HCW having a positive test with weighted odds ratio (OR) 1.17, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.99–1.38.

- words: 798
- flesch: 42
- summary: However, little is understood how the outbreak of infectious diseases among the homeless population affects health systems' resources (e.g., hospital beds, ventilators) and availability of resources for non-homeless population. The difference was particularly salient for the pandemic of H1N1 influenza in 2009: hospitalization rates were 2.9 per 1000 for homeless versus 0.1 per 1000 for non-homeless populations.

- summary: While out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs have decreased in recent years, 1 the results of this study suggest that for low-income adults with multiple chronic conditions who are enrolled in employer-sponsored high-deductible plans, out-of-pocket prescription drug costs may still result in significant financial hardships. key: cord-267114-tvoi6a7q authors: Abdus, Salam title: Financial Burdens of Out-of-Pocket Prescription Drug Expenditures under High-Deductible Health Plans date: 2020-09-18 journal: J Gen Intern Med DOI: 10.1007/s11606-020-06226-x sha: doc_id: 267114 cord_uid: tvoi6a7q nan The costs of prescription drugs increased significantly in the USA over the past few years.

- summary: Now, as our clinic shifts to virtual visits amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, I find myself routinely talking with patients in their cars, their closets, and their backyards. By allowing patients to remotely attend appointments through audiovisual applications, virtual visits bring promise for decreasing outpatient no-shows.

- summary: Those of us who deliver care to patients, or study patient care, or help organize patient care certainly have a lot to be depressed and worried about these days. Growing evidence shows that many non-COVID patients have stayed home with obvious heart attack symptoms rather than coming into the hospital, for fear of catching This has led to patients dying at home, increases in otherwise rare complications such as ventricular wall rupture, 2 and generally to unnecessarily severe complications from events that might have been easily managed under usual circumstances.

These can also alleviate other risk factors including DM, CKD, and asthma, and help reduce the adverse psychological consequences of social distancing.

- summary: By doing so, then all those invested in stopping the spread of COVID-19 in prisons can work together to integrate medically sound, humane forms of medical isolation and quarantine that follow community standards of care rather than punitive forms of solitary confinement to manage COVID-19. 10 Many advocates fear that use of isolation to curb transmission of COVID-19 in correctional facilities will complicate the emerging crisis, as incarcerated people become reluctant to report symptoms for fear of being moved to solitary confinement, those who do report symptoms will be forced to endure an experience known to cause psychological and physical harm, and system-wide unrest will be triggered in institutions where fears about being placed in medical isolation could run rampant.

- summary: These include subtle coercion without compensation, forcing physicians to work outside their usual scope of practice, or utilizing the services of older physicians, whose work-related exposure may markedly increase the burden on an alreadyoverwhelmed health care system. The options for rapidly increasing the physician labor supply include physicians working outside their typical area of practice (e.g., shifting their site of work to the emergency room or inpatient units), retired physicians re-entering the workforce, substitution through alternative advanced practice providers (such as nurse practitioners and physician assistants), and early graduation of medical students.

- summary: 29.2% of those out-sick with coronavirus symptoms were uninsured, vs. 8% in each comparison group; 36.2% were food insecure, vs. 7.5% among those working and 20.8% among those out-sick for non-coronavirus symptoms/disability. Finally, we observed an association between states' prevalence of coronavirus and being out-sick with coronavirus symptoms: 45.1% of Americans out-sick with coronavirus symptoms resided in a state in the top quartile of coronavirus prevalence, while only 15.2% lived in a bottom-quartile state.
