Research Roundup: Physicians' Well-Being; HPV Vaccine; And Long-Term Care

Each week, KHN compiles a selection of recently released health policy studies and briefs.

Despite concerns about physicians鈥 workload associated with electronic health records (EHRs), little attention has been paid to the relationship between physicians鈥 well-being and the in-basket messages physicians receive鈥攕pecifically, their volume and sources. (Seale et al, 7/1)

High-quality evidence indicates that intervening with health care providers improves human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine delivery. However, scaling up evidence-based strategies in real-world clinical practice remains challenging. We sought to improve the reach and impact of strategies for HPV vaccination quality improvement (QI) through local adaptation and implementation in a large, not-for-profit health care system. (7/1)

The benefits of expanding funding for Medicaid long-term care home and community-based services (HCBS) relative to institutional care are often taken as self-evident. However, little is known about the outcomes of these services, especially for racial and ethnic minority groups, whose members tend to use the services more than whites do, and for people with dementia who may need high-intensity care. (Gorges et al, 7/1)

In May, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) proposed a rule that would make 鈥渕ixed-status鈥 families ineligible for public housing or housing choice vouchers, among other programs. Mixed-status families (in this context) are those whose members have a mix of eligible and ineligible immigration statuses鈥攆or example, a US citizen child with siblings who are not citizens or parents and children with different citizen and immigration statuses who reside together. (Galvez, 7/8)
