Adherence to disease management programs in patients with COPD
The management of COPD is complex and patient adherence to treatment recommendations is known to be poor. In this paper the methods used for evaluating adherence in COPD are compared. Self-reporting has satisfactory reliability and offers a cheap, simple and easy method for assessing adherent behaviors. Unlike the objective measures of adherence such as electronic monitoring, self-reporting hel...
متن کاملCooperative vehicle routing problem: an opportunity for cost saving
In this paper, a novel methodology is proposed to solve a cooperative multi-depot vehicle routing problem. We establish a mathematical model for multi-owner VRP in which each owner (i.e. player) manages single or multiple depots. The basic idea consists of offering an option that owners cooperatively manage the VRP to save their costs. We present cooperative game theory techniques for cost savi...
متن کاملHeart failure disease management programs: a cost-effectiveness analysis.
BACKGROUND Heart failure (HF) disease management programs have shown impressive reductions in hospitalizations and mortality, but in studies limited to short time frames and high-risk patient populations. Current guidelines thus only recommend disease management targeted to high-risk patients with HF. METHODS This study applied a new technique to infer the degree to which clinical trials have...
متن کاملFoot-in-wallet disease: tripped up by "cost-saving" reductions?
In the U.S., podiatric medical services are considered to be optional under Medicaid statutes, with an underlying assumption that these services are elective and can be performed by other providers. Itmay have been easily anticipated, therefore, that podiatric services were often included in line-item cuts in a number of state budgets under the recent period of economic austerity. Given this, t...
متن کاملAre COPD and cardiovascular disease fundamentally intertwined?
Comorbidities and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are ubiquitous, with cardiovascular disease being the most common and significant [1, 2]. Numerous cohort studies have demonstrated an increased risk of cardiovascular-related mortality in patients with COPD [3–6]. Interestingly, this association is often seen in mild and moderate COPD [4]. It is both disappointing and depressing th...
