Researchers evaluated the impact of American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology management guidelines on changes in colposcopy procedure rates among young women. They analyzed administrative and claims data from the largest statewide family planning program between July 2011 and June 2015.

California has promoted value-based care in its public hospitals under a Section 1115 Medicaid Waiver called Public Hospital Redesign and Incentives in Medi-Cal (PRIME), a waiver overseen by California’s Department of Health Care Services (DHCS). PRIME required public hospitals to significantly transform their outpatient care delivery to receive payment for improved performance.

Since the enactment of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010, California has reduced the number of uninsured from 6.5 million in 2011 to a projected 2.99 million in 2023. This dramatic increase in the number of Californians with health insurance coverage was the result of policy choices at both the state and federal levels to not simply implement the ACA but to build on it, including through early implementation, expansion of Medi-Cal, and improvements in subsidies.

Since the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was enacted in 2010, California has successfully implemented the law and built upon its provisions by extending affordable coverage to even more California residents. The proposal to expand Medi-Cal to all low-income residents ages 26 to 49 regardless of immigration status would cover close to 700,000 Californians and result in the largest decrease in the uninsured rate since the major insurance reforms in the ACA were implemented in 2014.

Reducing surgical costs is paramount to the viability of hospitals. Authors conducted a retrospective analysis of electronic health record data for 7,762 operations from two health systems. Adult patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, appendectomy, and inguinal/femoral hernia repair between November 1, 2013, and November 30, 2017, were reviewed for 3 utilization measures: intraoperative disposable supply costs, procedure time, and postoperative length of stay (LOS).

Researchers evaluate the effect of online communication training for clinicians on missed opportunities for HPV vaccination rates overall and at well-child care (WCC) visits and visits for acute or chronic illness (hereafter referred to as acute or chronic visits) and on adolescent HPV vaccination rates.
