TL;DR: Frail older adults receiving a home-based support program that emphasized self-management of medications using both care coordination and technology had significantly better health status outcomes over time than those in the control group, but addition of the MD.2 machine to nurse care coordination did not result in better healthStatus outcomes.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the provision of nurse-coordinated HCBS and Medicare home health services has potential to provide savings in the total cost of health care to the Medicaid program while not increasing the cost of the Medicare program.

TL;DR: Women who received PNCC services were found to have significantly better birth outcomes, including fewer low-birth-weight infants and fewer preterm infants, and fewer infants transferred to the neonatal intensive care units.

TL;DR: The Nationwide Inpatient Sample was useful for estimating national incidence and case-fatality rates, as well as examining independent predictors of nosocomial BSI.

TL;DR: The annually published NIS data could be useful as a national surveillance tool for health care adverse events including HCABSIs with some modifications, and estimated the economic burden of H CABSIs on the US national economy.
