The life of a laboratory requisition form: Patient compliance with clinical laboratory testing in a Canadian primary care health region
2022, Clinical BiochemistryCitation Excerpt :Unfortunately, almost one-third of patients was non-compliant and abandoned the laboratory requisitions that were provided by their primary care physicians. Poor compliance of laboratory testing in these patients may be similar to patient non-compliances observed in other areas of healthcare and pharmacologic therapies, such as forgetfulness [12,13], the avoidance of phlebotomy due to severe anxiety [4], the patients’ perspective on whether or not the test or treatment was necessary due to their symptoms [12], appointment scheduling challenges [5], poor physician-patient communication or interactions [13,14], or negative healthcare-seeking attitudes [7]. Community patients present a prime target audience for engagement, education and programs that describe the significance of early screening, and health monitoring.
Investigating the impact of caregiver transportation needs on Children's response to behavioral and mental health treatment: A longitudinal analysis
2021, Journal of Transport and HealthCitation Excerpt :Unmet transportation needs affect children's access to care across the health spectrum, including issues with obtaining medication, accessing dental care, immunizations, chronic illness care, specialized care, and follow-up emergency care (Smith et al., 2002; A. Wallace, Scott, Klinnert and Anderson, 2004; Yang et al., 2006). One study reported that over half of families cited transportation problems (no ride or no car) as the primary reason for missed appointments for their children (Pesata et al., 1999). There may be issues with respect to transportation that are specific to the healthcare and psychosocial needs of children and youth.
Stratifying no-show patients into multiple risk groups via a holistic data analytics-based framework
2020, Decision Support SystemsCitation Excerpt :In this section, we primarily focus on the third category as it is the category that our proposed study falls under. Having said that, for the sake of completeness, we refer the readers to [13–21], and [22–31] to have detailed information about the first and the second research streams, respectively. To exemplify the studies in this research stream, Liu et al. [32] and Feldman et al. [33] proposed a scheduling methodology that employed Markov Decision Process (MDP) to model/predict the no-show probabilities.
