HIGHLIGHTS

|
When the state of Michigan expanded its Medicaid program leaders wanted to encourage enrollees to understand their individual health risks, and incentivize them to prevent future health problems or find them early. According to two new studies, that effort has paid off.
The percentage of enrollees in the Healthy Michigan Plan who saw a primary care doctor in a given year doubled, and many of those visits included a discussion of healthy behaviors that could improve their long-term health, the studies show.

Older teens may have similar risk factors for prescription opioid overdose as adults, a new study suggests. One in 10,000 adolescents and young adults ages 12-21 overdosed while they had active opioid prescriptions
---- the same rate that's been reported for adult patients within 30 days of surgery
---- according to the findings published in JAMA Pediatrics by lead author
Kao-Ping Chua, M.D., Ph.D.
, assistant professor of pediatrics.

Michael Gaies, M.D., M.P.H., M.S., along with Mott congenital heart program co-director John Charpie, M.D., Ph.D., launched the Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium. PC4 aims to improve the quality of care for pediatric heart patients through transparent data sharing that allows hospitals to evaluate their own outcomes and learn best practices from high-performing peers.

Each year at least 100,000 people die in U.S. hospitals following elective surgery. Major complications that can develop following surgery are a significant cause of these deaths, as well as disability and other serious health conditions. More rapidly identifying and effectively responding to complications after surgery is a major opportunity to improve patient safety and prevent loss of life. Learn more in this brief about what the evidence says about how to improve "rescue."

(UTI)
----
two common reasons for hospitalization. These infections are frequently over-diagnosed delaying correct diagnosis (e.g., acute coronary syndrome, stroke) and timely treatment. We aim to improve patient care by measuring over-diagnosis of both morbid and costly infections. The IHPI investigators include:

In caring for loved ones with dementia, family members and other informal caregivers are likely managing considerable stressors that can take a toll on their own well being.
Sheria Robinson-Lane, Ph.D., R.N., focuses on developing culturally tailored strategies to help these caregivers reinforce adaptive coping skills, improve self-management of chronic disease, and ultimately reduce their own risk of dementia, which is higher among caregivers from diverse backgrounds.
