Mashup Score: 0Comparison of Lung Cancer Screening Eligibility and Use between Commercial, Medicare, and Medicare Advantage Enrollees - 1 year(s) ago
Lung cancer screening does not require patient cost-sharing for insured people in the U.S. Little is known about whether other factors associated with patient selection into different insurance plans affect screening rates. We examined screening rates for enrollees in commercial, Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS), and Medicare Advantage plans.

Mashup Score: 0White Paper: Best Practices in the Communication and Management of Actionable Incidental Findings in Emergency Department Imaging - 1 year(s) ago
Actionable incidental findings (AIFs) are common in radiologic imaging. Imaging is commonly performed in emergency department (ED) visits, and AIFs are frequently encountered, but the ED presents unique challenges for communication and follow-up of these findings. The authors formed a multidisciplinary panel to seek consensus regarding best practices in the reporting, communication, and follow-up…

Mashup Score: 0Long-Term Survival After Surgery Versus Ablation for Early Liver Cancer in a Large, Nationally Representative Cohort - 1 year(s) ago
To compare survival outcomes (all-cause, cancer-specific, and disease-free) for small hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs), less than or equal to 5 cm, after ablation (AB) and surgical resection (SR) after adjusting for key confounders. Secondarily, to understand differential survival outcomes of liver transplant (TR) compared with SR and AB.

Mashup Score: 0Transfer Patient Imaging: Assessment of the Impact of Discrepancies Identified by Emergency Radiologists - 2 year(s) ago
Advanced imaging examinations of emergently transferred patients (ETPs) are overread to various degrees by receiving institutions. The practical clinical impact of these second opinions has not been studied in the past. The purpose of this study is to determine if emergency radiology overreads change emergency medicine decision making on ETPs in the emergency department (ED).

@NeimanHPI @JACRJournal @StefanMarchello @arosenkrantzmd @ericrubinmd @EmoryRadiology @UMMCRads @danortizmd @amykpatel @GATechEcon This builds on our recent paper looking at radiology practices (showing that they’re hiring more and more NPs and PAs). The focus here is different: we study the characteristics of those NPs and PAs. https://t.co/EngN11OCmy. 2/ https://t.co/w6t4mK5VEF
