Factors Associated With Meaningful Use Incentives in Children's Hospitals

Meaningful use (MU) incentive payments have been developed to encourage adoption and use of electronic health records (EHRs). Several studies have revealed children’s hospitals have unique barriers to the use of EHRs but were relatively early adopters of information technology.

Although a minority of children’s hospitals have succeeded with MU incentives, freestanding children’s hospitals are significantly more likely to succeed. Improvement of EHRs for pediatric use should focus on information exchange, quality reporting, and MU relevance to pediatrics. (Read the full article)

Age at Diagnosis and Patient Preferences for Treatment Outcomes in AML: A Discrete Choice Experiment to Explore Meaningful Benefits

Background:

The recent expansion of treatment options in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has necessitated a greater understanding of patient preferences for treatment benefits, about which little is known.

Methods:

We sought to quantify and assess heterogeneity of the preferences of AML patients for treatment outcomes. An AML-specific discrete choice experiment (DCE) was developed involving multiple stakeholders. Attributes included in the DCE were event-free survival (EFS), complete remission (CR), time in the hospital, short-term side effects, and long-term side effects. Continuously coded conditional, stratified, and latent-class logistic regressions were used to model preferences of 294 patients with AML.

Results:

Most patients were white (89.4%) and in remission (95.0%). A 10% improvement in the chance of CR was the most meaningful offered benefit (P < 0.001). Patients were willing to trade up to 22 months of EFS or endure 8.7 months in the hospital or a two-step increase in long-term side effects to gain a 10% increase in chance of CR. Patients diagnosed at 60 years or older (21.6%) more strongly preferred to avoid short-term side effects (P = 0.03). Latent class analysis showed significant differences of preferences across gender and insurance status.

Conclusions:

In this national sample of mostly AML survivors, patients preferred treatments that maximized chance at remission; however, significant preference heterogeneity for outcomes was identified. Age and gender may affect patients' preferences.

Impact:

Survivor preferences for outcomes can inform patient-focused drug development and shared decision-making. Further studies are necessary to investigate the use of DCEs to guide treatment for individual patients.

ReFormers Caucus kicks off its fight for meaningful campaign finance reform


I was honored today to speak at the kick off meeting of the new ReFormers Caucus. This group of over 100 former members of the U.S. Senate, the House, and governors of both parties, has come together to fight for meaningful campaign finance reform. In the bipartisan spirit of the caucus, I shared speaking duties with Professor Richard Painter, who was the Bush administration ethics czar and my predecessor before I had a similar role in the Obama White House. 

As I told the distinguished audience of ReFormers (get the pun?) gathered over lunch on Capitol Hill, I wish they had existed when in my Obama administration role I was working for the passage of the Disclose Act. That bill would have brought true transparency to the post-Citizens United campaign finance system, yet it failed by just one vote in Congress.  But it is not too late for Americans, working together, to secure enhanced transparency and other campaign finance changes that are desperately needed.  Momentum is building, with increasing levels of public outrage, as reflected in state and local referenda passing in Maine, Seattle and San Francisco just this week, and much more to come at the federal, state and local level.

Elon Musk and Grimes gave their baby an unusual name with multiple hidden meanings, and it may have a hidden connection to the X-Men

The name, which Musk and Grimes say is spelled X Æ A-12, is pronounced X Ash Archangel, according to Musk. Archangel is the internal codename for the A-12, a US Central Intelligence Agency plane built during the Cold War. The A-12 was the precursor to the SR-71 Blackbird, which Musk and Grimes say is their favorite aircraft. "No weapons, no defenses, just speed. Great in battle, but non-violent," Grimes said in her tweet explaining the name.The Blackbird is nearly identical to the X-Jet, the plane used by the X-Men. Both planes can fly at supersonic speeds and have technology to make them nearly undetectable. Both Musk
