A7adherence to diabetes medications than the comparison group (p=0.15). After the program, percent adherent grew 29.7% over baseline (p<0.01) net of trends in the comparison group. A smaller impact was observed for cardiovascular medications. Total spending (employer spending plus patient out-of-pocket spending) in the value-based program group was no different than the comparison group (p=0.11). Falsification tests of asthma and migraine medication utilization, showed no significant impact (p>.50). CONCLUSIONS: Results through the first twelve months of the program show that waiving copayments for all family members of a patient with diabetes can improve adherence to diabetes and cardiovascular services, which can lead to improvements in health outcomes.
We feel that ocular thermography is a useful adjunctive diagnostic tool and that it may be useful to monitor routine corneal transplant patients. Further research into the temperature changes of corneal transplant patients is needed and may allow for earlier intervention for graft rejection.
Amiodarone adverse event monitoring was lower than dofetilide in this cohort. Improving the monitoring of these agents may decrease morbidity risk in this population.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
