BACKGROUND: With increasing prevalence of opioid use disorders (OUDs) there is an urgent need for OUD trained front line primary care providers (PCPs) who can help improve patient adherence to addiction treatment. Unfortunately, most physicians have had limited training for treating patients with addiction, leaving clinicians under prepared. To address this need, we created a Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) training program specifically designed for PCPs. INTERVENTION: A 4-hour PCP focused buprenorphine office-based implementation training was designed to supplement the 8-hour SAMHSA DATA 2000 waiver training...

BACKGROUND: Limited studies are available on patients' perspectives regarding opioid-related awareness, beliefs, and pain management in primary care settings in the US. Pain catastrophizing (PC) is a cascade of negative thoughts and emotions in response to actual or anticipated pain. High PC is 1 of the strongest predictors of negative pain outcomes. METHOD: A cross-sectional survey was administered at Family Medicine clinics in the Pacific Northwest, November 2018-January 2019...

BACKGROUND: Despite providing frequent care to heart failure (HF) patients, home health care workers (HHWs) are generally considered neither part of the health care team nor the family, and their clinical observations are often overlooked. To better understand this workforce's involvement in care, we quantified HHWs' scope of interactions with clinicians, health systems, and family caregivers. METHODS: Community-partnered cross-sectional survey of English- and Spanish-speaking HHWs who cared for a HF patient in the last year...

BACKGROUND: Social needs screening and referral interventions are increasingly common in health care settings. Although remote screening offers a potentially more practical alternative to traditional in-person screening, there is concern that screening patients remotely could adversely affect patient engagement, including interest in accepting social needs navigation. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study using a multivariable logistic regression analysis and data from the Accountable Health Communities (AHC) model in Oregon...

BACKGROUND: Interpersonal primary care continuity or chronic condition continuity (CCC) is associated with improved health outcomes. Ambulatory care-sensitive conditions (ACSC) are best managed in a primary care setting, and chronic ACSC (CACSC) require management over time. However, current measures do not measure continuity for specific conditions or the impact of continuity for chronic conditions on health outcomes. The purpose of this study was to design a novel measure of CCC for CACSC in primary care and determine its association with health care utilization...

INTRODUCTION: Often misperceived as solely a dental disease, periodontitis is a chronic condition characterized by inflammation of the support structures of the tooth and associated with chronic systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. Despite affecting almost 40% of US adults 30 years of age or older, periodontitis is rarely considered when quantifying the multimorbidity (the presence of 2 or more chronic conditions in an individual) burden for our patients. Multimorbidity represents a major challenge for primary care and is associated with increasing health care expenditure and increased hospitalizations...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
James W Mold, Darren A DeWalt, F Daniel Duffy
Prevention does not fit well within our problem-oriented medical paradigm in which the focus is on curing or ameliorating existing diseases. It is easier and more satisfying to solve existing problems than it is to advise and motivate patients to implement measures to prevent future problems that may or may not occur. Clinician motivation is further diminished by the time required to help people make lifestyle changes, the low reimbursement rate, and the fact that the benefits, if any, are often not apparent for years...

Eli Y Adashi, I Glenn Cohen
On April 13, 2022, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) issued a new draft guidance for industry for "developing plans to enroll more participants from underrepresented racial and ethnic populations in the U.S. into clinical trials ." In so doing, the FDA reaffirmed the reality that racial and ethnic minorities remain underrepresented in clinical trials. FDA Commissioner Robert M. Califf, MD offered that the "U.S. population has become increasingly diverse, and ensuring meaningful representation of racial and ethnic minorities in clinical trials for regulated medical products is fundamental to public health...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most common cancers diagnosed in the United States. Most patients are cured, have completed their routine surveillance in oncology clinics, and are being followed by primary care clinicians (PCCs). Those providers are tasked with discussing with these patients genetic testing for inherited cancer-predisposing genes that are called PGVs.Recently, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Hereditary/Familial High-Risk Assessment: Colorectal Guidelines expert panel updated their recommendations for genetic testing...

Suffering is often a part of the illness experience, and relieving it is a fundamental obligation of medicine. Distress, injury, disease, and loss generate suffering when they threaten meaning in the patient's personal narrative. Family physicians have exceptional opportunities and responsibilities to manage suffering through long-term continuity relationships, demonstrating empathy, and building trust over time and across problems. We propose a new Comprehensive Clinical Model of Suffering (CCMS) founded on the family medicine approach to whole-patient care...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Alaina Martinez, David McClaskey
Coccidioidomycosis is a fungal infection endemic to the Southwestern United States. Extrapulmonary Coccidioides immitis infections are uncommon and occur more frequently in immunocompromised individuals. There is often a delay in diagnosis and treatment due to the chronic, indolent nature of these infections. The clinical presentation is often nonspecific, and includes joint pain, erythema, or localized swelling. Therefore, these infections may only be identified after initial treatment failure and further workup is pursued...

Supporting a diverse family physician workforce is an integral component of achieving health equity. This study compared the racial/ethnic composition of Federal family physicians (Military, Veterans Administration/Department of Defense) to the entire cohort of family physicians and stratified by gender. Female family physicians serving at Federal sites were more diverse than the overall population of female family physicians and, also than their male Federal counterparts. This gendered trend among Federal physicians needs further exploration...
