Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Americans believe that people who lack health insurance somehow get the care they really need. Care Without Coverage examines the real consequences for adults who lack health insurance. The study presents findings in the areas of prevention and screening, cancer, chronic illness, hospital-based care, and general health status. The committee looked at the consequences of being uninsured for people suffering from cancer, diabetes, HIV infection and AIDS, heart and kidney disease, mental illness, traumatic injuries, and heart attacks. It focused on the roughly 30 million-one in seven-working-age Americans without health insurance. This group does not include the population over 65 that is covered by Medicare or the nearly 10 million children who are uninsured in this country. The main findings of the report are that working-age Americans without health insurance are more likely to receive too little medical care and receive it too late; be sicker and die sooner; and receive poorer care when they are in the hospital, even for acute situations like a motor vehicle crash.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healthcare decision makers in search of reliable information that compares health interventions increasingly turn to systematic reviews for the best summary of the evidence. Systematic reviews identify, select, assess, and synthesize the findings of similar but separate studies, and can help clarify what is known and not known about the potential benefits and harms of drugs, devices, and other healthcare services. Systematic reviews can be helpful for clinicians who want to integrate research findings into their daily practices, for patients to make well-informed choices about their own care, for professional medical societies and other organizations that develop clinical practice guidelines. Too often systematic reviews are of uncertain or poor quality. There are no universally accepted standards for developing systematic reviews leading to variability in how conflicts of interest and biases are handled, how evidence is appraised, and the overall scientific rigor of the process. In Finding What Works in Health Care the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends 21 standards for developing high-quality systematic reviews of comparative effectiveness research. The standards address the entire systematic review process from the initial steps of formulating the topic and building the review team to producing a detailed final report that synthesizes what the evidence shows and where knowledge gaps remain. Finding What Works in Health Care also proposes a framework for improving the quality of the science underpinning systematic reviews. This book will serve as a vital resource for both sponsors and producers of systematic reviews of comparative effectiveness research.

Download or read book The Relationship Between Insurance Coverage and Cancer Care A Literature Synthesis written by Nicole Marlow and published by RTI Press. This book was released on 2009-04-30 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper summarizes key literature on the relationship between health care insurance status and screening, diagnosis, and medical care patterns and outcomes for individuals with cancer. All studies included for this literature synthesis were identified using the National Library of Medicine's Medline database; only English language articles published in the past 10 years were considered. Based on article titles and abstracts, we selected the most relevant studies for full review and inclusion in this manuscript. Although the summarized literature is mixed, individuals who are uninsured or have insurance coverage through programs for low-income persons (e.g., Medicaid coverage) are significantly less likely to use cancer screening services and significantly more likely to present with advanced stage cancer at diagnosis and to have significantly worse survival. The relationship between insurance status and cancer treatment patterns is less clear, as fewer studies have examined this relationship, but the available evidence suggests that uninsured patients are less likely to receive optimal cancer care. The research reviewed here suggests that the benefits of extending appropriate insurance coverage to uninsured and underinsured individuals could be substantial. These benefits are likely to include reduced morbidity, improved quality of life, and increased survival for cancer patients as well as a positive impact on overall health care and societal costs.
