The Women of Owen Clinic and Their Impact on Rural Mental Health
Get PDFThe mid-1900s was a pivotal moment in reforming mental health treatment in American Psychiatry. This movement becomes particularly clear when examining the championing work of two women, Dr. Thelma V. Owen and Dr. M. G. Stemmermann, at a rural mental health facility located in Huntington, WV: Owen Clinic Institute. While mental health stigma was at an extreme high among the general population, many factors aligned to allow for a new era of mental health care, including deinstitutionalization, World War II, and the advocation of professionals in the field. In West Virginia, no two people were more outspoken and active in the transformation than Owen and Stemmermann, yet they remain invisible in the legacy they catalyzed. Through their works, both published and unpublished, and the anonymous writings of their patients, they give a full perspective on the stigma of treatment and mental illness at the time. Furthermore, Owen Clinic’s utilization of “home-like” care– as opposed to traditional state hospitals of the time– at the direction of the two women was instrumental in improving treatment standards and altering community attitudes towards mental illness. Owen and Stemmermann deserve credit for all they did for West Virginia healthcare, especially when examining the specific hardships they faced in their work simply because they were women in a male-dominated field

Motor Symptoms as a Prodrome to Schizophrenia
Get PDFSchizophrenia occurs in 1% of the population and is severely impairing to those afflicted. Thereby, it is of the utmost importance to recognize and treat the disorder as early as possible. For the last several decades research has attempted to elucidate a variety of predictive factors in order to aid in the identification of patients at high risk of developing a schizophrenia spectrum disorder. These factors have included premorbid or prodromal movement symptoms. The literature has identified motor aberrations beginning early in life, in some cases even in infancy, ranging from neonatal hypotonicity to facial and upper body dyskinesia. These motor symptoms have not only been demonstrated to aid in predicting conversion to schizophrenia but carry prognostic importance for other outcomes as well. We present the case of a 34-year-old male who developed abnormal motor symptoms several years prior to the onset of psychosis. Our case builds upon the current body of literature by demonstrating the importance of spontaneous dyskinesia in the evaluation of populations at high risk for the development of a schizophrenia spectrum illnesses
Chargemasters in the age of hospital price transparency
Get PDFIntroduction: The cost of health care services in the United States (U.S.) varies from state to state and facility to facility. The compilation of such costs and their associated codes is referred to as a chargemaster, or charge description master (CDM), and each is unique to an individual facility. . The implementation of the 2019 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) Hospital Price Transparency Rule was an initial step toward consumer empowerment by making services more shoppable but published CDM data failed to present the information most pertinent to patients: total out-of-pocket costs and the availability of lower-cost alternatives. Initiatives in long-term strategies.
The purpose of this research has been to analyze the effect of the 2019 Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) Hospital Price Transparency Rule on the ability of healthcare consumers to shop for hospital services, as well as to examine the effect of the 2019 CMS Rule on the chargemaster billing rates for hospital services.
Methodology: The methodology for this research study was a qualitative study with mixed methodologies that included a literature review and a semi-structured interview with an employee in revenue cycle management at a hospital in Huntington, West Virginia. . The articles were limited to the English language and were published from the years of 2013 through 2021, and 21 citations were used for data abstraction and analysis.
Results: The results of the literature review and interview with a revenue cycle management expert have demonstrated that federal price transparency regulations have not had a positive effect on the Shopability of services for healthcare consumers and have not caused the cost of hospital services to decrease.
Discussion/conclusion: Price transparency for hospital services acted as a step in the right direction for consumer empowerment but further research is needed to explore the implications and efficacy of existing regulations
Impact of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on military suicide rates
Get PDFIntroduction: Suicide has been labeled a serious public health dilemma in the United States. Military personnel have suicide rates greater than non-military individuals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has been used as a means to help military personnel to overcome suicidal thoughts and feelings.
Purpose of the Study: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on military patients’ mental health and how it affects the rate of suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and deaths by suicide in military patients.
Methodology: This study utilized a literature review and a semi-structured interview with a Veteran Affairs social worker. Multiple databases were used to collect 36 total sources. All sources were in English and published from 2012 to 2022. 18 sources were used in the introduction and 18 sources were used in the results and discussion section.
Results: The results showed that overall, CBT has a beneficial impact on suicide rates and suicidal ideations amongst military veterans. As well as the factors that contribute to suicidal ideations, such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Discussion/Conclusion: The literature review found evidence that CBT had better outcomes for military veterans’ suicide rates and suicidal ideations. However, this was not the case for all the studies as some indicated little significance in CBT reducing the suicide rates of military veterans. Further study is needed to evaluate how CBT effect military veterans suicide rates and suicidal ideations
