When seeing the same physician, highly activated patients have better care experiences than less activated patients.
Measures of the patient care experience are now routinely used in public reports and increasingly influence health provider payment. We examined data from 5,002 patients of forty-nine primary care providers to explore the relationship between patient activation-a term referring to the knowledge, skills, and confidence a patient has for managing his or her health care-and the patient care experi...
متن کاملLess Is Better: When Low-value Options Are Valued More Highly than High-value Options
This research demonstrates a less-is-better eect in three contexts: (1) a person giving a $45 scarf as a gift was perceived to be more generous than one giving a $55 coat; (2) an over®lled ice cream serving with 7 oz of ice cream was valued more than an under®lled serving with 8 oz of ice cream; (3) a dinnerware set with 24 intact pieces was judged more favourably than one with 31 intact piece...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinase-activated doxorubicin prodrugs inhibit HT1080 xenograft growth better than doxorubicin with less toxicity.
Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-activated prodrugs were formed by coupling MMP-cleavable peptides to doxorubicin. The resulting conjugates were excellent in vitro substrates for MMP-2, -9, and -14. HT1080, a fibrosarcoma cell line, was used as a model system to test these prodrugs because these cells, like tumor stromal fibroblasts, expressed several MMPs. In cultured HT1080 cells, simple MMP-cl...
متن کاملWhen more of the same is better
Problem solving (e.g., drug design, traffic engineering, software development) by task forces represents a substantial portion of the economy of developed countries. Here we use an agent-based model of cooperative problem solving systems to study the influence of diversity on the performance of a task force. We assume that agents cooperate by exchanging information on their partial success and ...
متن کاملSeeing the invisible with SWIR Less scattering - better visibility
Light scattering effects can be noticed every day when we look at the sky or the atmosphere. The main reason why the sky is blue on a sunny day is Rayleigh scattering (after Lord Rayleigh) of sunlight, i.e., the scattering of electromagnetic radiation by particles much smaller than the wavelength. However, for cloud and haze scattering, the Mie theory (after Gustav Mie) is very important where ...
