Accessible Communication Tools for Surgical Site Infection Monitoring and Prevention in Joint Reconstruction: Feasibility Study

Accessible Communication Tools for Surgical Site Infection Monitoring and Prevention in Joint Reconstruction: Feasibility Study

It is estimated that by 2020 there will be at least 70,000 total hip and knee arthroplasty revision surgeries due to deep SSIs at a cost of US $1.62 billion annually [4]. Readmission rates are now an important quality metric for hospitals and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services are focusing on identifying the causes for readmission in an effort to improve quality of care and control costs.

A Novel Patient Engagement Platform Using Accessible Text Messages and Calls (Epharmix): Feasibility Study

A Novel Patient Engagement Platform Using Accessible Text Messages and Calls (Epharmix): Feasibility Study

Likewise, the smart system will also increase message frequency if the clinical thresholds are breached (e.g. fasting blood glucose > 400 mg/d L or >2 events of paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea or fluid weight gain in heart failure, among others). To initiate an Epharmix outward message, providers must confirm that they consented the patient. Then, Epharmix confirms the patient’s identity and informed consent by asking the first name without including any other identifiers or health information.

Assessing the Utility of a Novel SMS- and Phone-Based System for Blood Pressure Control in Hypertensive Patients: Feasibility Study

Assessing the Utility of a Novel SMS- and Phone-Based System for Blood Pressure Control in Hypertensive Patients: Feasibility Study

Whereas there have been a multitude of telemedicine interventions studied for BP management in hypertensive patients [12,28], Epx Hypertension is uniquely beneficial because of its low intensity that will allow large-scale implementation of this intervention. Few telemedicine interventions for chronic disease management in the past decade have taken into account cost in their analysis [28].

Phone-Based Interventions in Adolescent Psychiatry: A Perspective and Proof of Concept Pilot Study With a Focus on Depression and Autism

Phone-Based Interventions in Adolescent Psychiatry: A Perspective and Proof of Concept Pilot Study With a Focus on Depression and Autism

A larger study will be necessary to confirm our findings. While our primary outcome was weekly response rates over time, we wanted to determine whether self-reported mood or sleep ratings could predict a patient’s PHQ-9 score as suggested in other studies [34]. We averaged each patient’s mood or sleep ratings leading up to a PHQ-9 prompt, and regressed these averages against the patient’s PHQ-9 score for that time point.

EpxMedTracking: Feasibility Evaluation of an SMS-Based Medication Adherence Tracking System in Community Practice

EpxMedTracking: Feasibility Evaluation of an SMS-Based Medication Adherence Tracking System in Community Practice

It is estimated that by 2017, 8 billion mobile phones with short message service (SMS) text messaging capability will be in use with especially high prevalence in certain medically vulnerable populations such as minorities and people in developing countries [5]. The use of basic SMS text messaging with such devices is an especially attractive option for e Health intervention as it offers a familiar, nonintrusive, and easy-to-use tool for increasing medication adherence.
