The adoption of a successful TCM model is needed to improve patient outcomes and lower readmission rates. At UF Health Jacksonville, we formed a dedicated TCM team whose role was exclusive to the completion of the TCM non-face-to-face process (NF2F). The team elected to utilize the Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC) model as the process improvement methodology to guide the project. UF Health Jacksonville has eliminated many of the barriers facing Academic Center Safety-net Hospitals as it relates to readmissions by implementing this approach. After the implementation of the dashboard and all of the improvements, there was an immediate return on investment increase of 81.06 percent exceeding the projected goal of 75 percent and decrease in readmission rate to as low as 5 percent.","PeriodicalId":90785,"journal":{"name":"American journal of public health research","volume":"110 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78782548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: We enrolled 123 participants; (61 control and 62 intervention). This randomized controlled trial compared usual care with an intervention that entailed health-coaching skills. The inclusion criteria as follows: age 18 years, HbA1c 6.5 or more and diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. The data were collected from the outcome measures at baseline and after three months of follow up. The primary outcome was HbA1c; secondary outcome was BMI (Body Mass Index). The data were analyzed using linear regression. Results: The participants in the intervention group had significant improvements in HbA1c (Diabetes Empowerment Scale, with a mean difference of 1.78 % compared to that of the control group (p=0.032) and a decrease in BMI (with a mean difference of 0.9 kg/m compared to that of the control group, p <0.001). Conclusions: Diabetes health coaching has an Major role in healthcare that facilitates self-care, behavior change and offers frequent follow up and support. Health coaching for those with diabetes is an effective intervention for improving glycemic control.","PeriodicalId":90785,"journal":{"name":"American journal of public health research","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83722741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study pertains (shown) to the clinical efficacy of bariatric surgery on sub-clinical thyroid function in obese patients. Methods: A total of 130 obese patients (M=24, F=106) who underwent bariatric surgery in our hospital between June 2018 and December 2019 were considered for the study. These patients were further divided into two sub-groups: SCH (22 cases) & NSCH (108 cases). The thyroid hormones and their relevant metabolic indexes were then subsequently compared using a t-test. The effect of the bariatric surgery on the SCH group was then analyzed. Results: Among 130 cases, the prevalence of the SCH group was in 22 patients accounting for 16.92%. The prevalence of SCH with metabolic syndrome (MS) was in 13 patients accounting for 59.09%. The prevalence of NSCH with metabolic syndrome was seen in 30 cases accounting for 27.77%. Consequently, this indicates a significant disparity between these two groups (P<0.05). The SCH group patients were followed up for 12 months of surgery. The study showed that post-bariatric surgery the average TSH level (6.07±1.68IU/mL) had drastically dropped (2.88±0.56 IU/mL) indicating a staggering statistical improvement amongst the SCH group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The study showed that the obese patients associated with Subclinical hypothyroidism who underwent bariatric surgery saw a significant reduction and improvement in their TSH levels. The prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism in the SCH group of obese patients was 16.92%. There was a higher MS occurrence rate amongst SCH patients. SCH could is a type of metabolic syndrome. Post-bariatric surgery has shown a significant decrease in TSH levels and acts as an effective treatment for SCH in obese patients.","PeriodicalId":90785,"journal":{"name":"American journal of public health research","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83896237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
