The Relationship Between Rural Health Clinic Use and Potentially Preventable Hospitalizations and Emergency Department Visits Among Medicare Beneficiaries

Return ‐on‐Investment (ROI) Analyses of an Inpatient Lay Health Worker Model on 30‐Day Readmission Rates in a Rural Community Hospital
ConclusionsThe BTH model showed a viable ROI to be considered by community hospitals that are part of an ACO or P4P program. A LHW care transition model may be a cost‐effective alternative for impacting excess 30‐day readmissions and avoiding associated penalties for hospital systems with a value‐based payment model.

Policy efforts to increase NAS prevention and encourage opioid abuse treatment uptake in pregnant women should address rural and Appalachian disparities. (Source: The Journal of Rural Health)

Correlates of Injection Drug Use Among Rural Appalachian Women
ConclusionsThis study makes an important contribution to understanding factors associated with IDU among rural Appalachian women drug users, which are strongly associated with both relational and health factors. Study findings on the specific factors associated with IDU risk have important implications for tailoring and targeting interventions that should include a focus on the relationship context reducing high‐risk injection practices.
