Patient Centered Medical Homes and Their Effect on Diabetes Outcomes
No full textPURPOSE: Explore the effectiveness of the patient-centered medical home (PCHM) in managing adult Diabetes Mellitus Type II using HbA1C, lipid levels, blood pressure and body mass index as parameters of care.
METHODS: Systemic sampling resulted in a total of 41 patients. The data was evaluated between two intervals (pre-PCMH to 6-months and 1-year post PCMH)
RESULTS: BMI and HDL was the indicator with improvements in both intervals. LDL improved during Interval 1. Both Intervals had increased means for HbA1C, SBP, and DBP.
CONCLUSION: A PCMH can have some positive effects on reaching some of the goals for diabetes indicators.Manuscrip
HCV Program
No full textPurpose: The purpose of this project was to develop a comprehensive hepatitis C program in a rural Native American clinic in which no concrete screening or monitoring protocol exists.|Background: In the United States, approximately 3.9 million individuals are living with a hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection that causes chronic liver disease. Most infected individuals are unaware they are infected and therefore do not participate in monitoring or follow up care. The Native-American population has a four times greater proportion of deaths caused by chronic liver disease than the overall United States population.|Methods: On a rural Native American reservation clinic, an increased screening protocol was implemented. Once identified, HCV positive individuals were enrolled in the monitoring program which provided education and evaluated alcohol abuse, depression, liver disease progression, and screening for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).|Results: A total of 46 individuals were screened with the HCV antibody testing, compared to 33 screenings completed three months prior to the project initiation. There were two new HCV diagnoses discovered during this screening period. There were a total of thirty HCV individuals out of 2016 (1.4%) active adult patients in the clinical system were identified as HCV positive. The most prominent age cohort with the HCV infection was ages 29-39 (3.0%). There was a 50% (15/30) compliance rate with completing the HCV monitoring portion of the project. Of those individuals monitored, alcohol abuse screening was positive in 53% (8/15), depression screening was positive in 33% (5/15), liver disease screening demonstrated 26% (4/15) had significantly elevated serum liver function tests and HCC screening was positive in 13% (2/15) which warranted liver ultrasound testing.|Conclusions: Increased HCV screening is appropriate in this high risk population to facilitate early detection, subsequent education, and medical monitoring of these individuals. Efforts to increase compliance of monitoring in HCV positive individuals are valuable to their health outcomes.Manuscript25 page

Ann Arbor, Michigan: An Historical Analysis Of Board Of Education Decisions On School Desegregation Issues.
No full textPurpose of the Study. This study focused on the history of the Ann Arbor Public School System's desegregation and school attendance decisions, from the Brown decision to the present. The purpose was to write an historical analysis of Board of Education decisions regarding racial balance and imbalance in Ann Arbor Public Schools. Specifically, the Board of Education, the administration, and the community were studied concerning four historically relevant decisions: (1) The closing of Jones School in 1965; (2) New building sites in the years 1965-1976; (A) Bryant/Clinton; (B) Logan/Northside; (3) Employment practices; i.e., hiring of and placement of minority staff, 1969-1978; and (4) The busing of North Campus children, 1970-1978. Methodology. Background information on school desegregation in three perspectives was first presented. This included historical information, research findings on methods and results of school desegregation, and a study of local Michigan districts which have undergone court-enforced desegregation. Four questions were developed to provide a focus for historical analysis of the Ann Arbor Board of Education's decisions: (1) What was the situational environment in which each decision was made by the Board of Education? (2) How did the community react to the Board of Education's decision? (3) Was the effect of each decision more or less segregation in the Ann Arbor Public Schools? (4) Did choices or options exist to the Board of Education at the time of the decision which would have possibly resulted in a less segregated situation? Findings. In all instances of new school openings, more rather than less segregation followed the Board's decision. The Jones School closing was found to be the last major decision that led to purposeful desegregation. Placement of academic staff, in particular, added to the inbalance in several elementary schools. In the 1977-78 school year, the Michigan State Board of Education categorized Ann Arbor's school system as racially imbalanced, and requested action on the part of local authorities to rectify this situation within 90 days. The Ann Arbor Board's progress toward the achievement of voluntary desegregation has included the appointment of a citizens' committee. The author concludes that the Board's voluntary commitment to take action to improve racial balance is a wise and proper course of action, since possible implications of past actions could be used in a court case against the system.PhDBilingual educationEducationUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.
