Prescribers have little guidance available on opioids, and overprescribing is a widespread problem that contributes to the opioid epidemic currently claiming 130 American lives every day. With up to 92% of patients having leftover opioids after common operations, millions of pills are left vulnerable to diversion into communities.

There's been great advancement in the diagnosis, care, and prevention of concussions in recent years. But there is more to learn about long-term effects and who is more prone to suffer them. In this episode of Michigan Minds,
Steven Broglio, Ph.D., A.T.C. director of the Michigan Concussion Center, talks about how the center aims to answer those questions.

People living with multimorbidity, or the coexistence of several chronic conditions, generally have poorer health outcomes, poorer health-related quality of life, and more complex healthcare needs.
Melissa Wei, M.D., M.P.H., M.S., assistant professor of internal medicine, discusses her recent study that found that multimorbidity was linked to an increased risk of death by suicide and worse mental health-related quality of life.

How exactly do high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) work, and what does research show about how the individuals they cover use healthcare services? IHPI's
Jeffrey Kullgren, M.D., M.P.H., M.S., an internal medicine physician and healthcare researcher at the U-M Medical School, explains these increasingly popular plans.

IHPI members and staff presented policy-relevant insights from the National Poll on Healthy Aging and the Michigan Opioid Prescribing Engagement Network during two recent Wolverine Caucus events, which convene U-M alumni working in and around State of Michigan government.

Findings from the National Poll on Healthy Aging show that pet ownership helps older adults cope with mental and physical health issues, connect with others, and get exercise. And according to authors
Cathleen Connell, Ph.D., M.S.,
Mary Janevic, Ph.D., M.P.H., and
Preeti Malani, M.D., M.S., M.S.J., while pets come with benefits, they can also bring concerns, and some people may even put their animals' needs ahead of their own health.
|
Hospitals have put a lot of effort into encouraging good hand hygiene among their staff. But new findings from a research team led by
Lona Mody, M.D., M.Sc., reveal multidrug resistant organisms on patients' hands and the hospital room objects they touch often need expanded efforts to prevent transmission.
