Delivery Of Health Care

This clinical trial is about prenatal genetic screening. It will test an intervention to help people make decisions about screening. The intervention is a short set of information cards about screening. This intervention is for pregnant participants. They will use the intervention on their mobile phone before they see their doctor. The study has one main question: * Do participants who use the intervention feel more confident when they make a decision about screening? Researchers will compare participants who use the intervention to participants who do not. All participants will have their usual care when they visit their doctor. What will participants do? * Participants must be pregnant. They will sign up for the study before their first doctor's visit for their pregnancy. This is the visit where their doctor usually talks with them about screening. * Some participants will use the intervention before their first doctor's visit. Other participants will not use it. * All participants will talk with a researcher on the phone after their first doctor's visit. * Participants who use the intervention will answer a short survey on their phone. * A few participants who use the intervention will talk with a researcher a second time on the phone.

Expanded availability of virtual care encounters in Primary Care provides new opportunities to improve Veterans' outcomes by aligning encounter modalities with their needs and preferences. Yet, Veterans and their Primary Care physicians (PCPs) lack personalized information about the benefits and costs of different Primary Care modalities that is needed to maximize the value of Primary Care encounters. To address this problem, in this study the investigators will use surveys and interviews to identify what Veterans and PCPs perceive to be the benefits and optimal uses of different Primary Care encounter modalities. They will then supplement their existing system for communicating encounter costs to Veterans and PCPs with new interactive messaging about benefits and optimal uses of different encounter modalities. Finally, this novel Advancing Decisions about Virtual Service Encounters (ADViSE) intervention will be optimized through user-centered refinement before evaluating its effects on Veteran-centered outcomes, use of virtual care, and intermediate health outcomes in a randomized controlled trial (RCT).

50 children/adolescents (ages 6 to \<18yrs) with T1D in suboptimal control (HbA1c≥8.0%) and lower SES (below 200% poverty line) on insulin therapy (either injections or open-loop pumps) will be recruited at Nemours \~ 1/3 each AA, Hispanic/Latino, non-Hispanic whites. All families that qualify and agree to transition to closed-loop technologies will be recruited to allow data to be gathered before and after use of devices. They will go through the process of approval with the assistance of an insurance navigator in clinic. Those not a CGM will be prescribed one as well. Diabetes care will be 'real life', devices will be prescribed, and care per clinic routine with periodic device downloads. Principal outcome, time-in-range, will be analyzed at 3-months compared to baseline, each participant their own control. Secondary outcomes including HbA1c, other glucose metrics and questionnaires related to use of technology and diabetes distress will be also analyzed. All outcomes will also be collected at 6-months. Results could have important and fast applicability to the field and help better inform decision makers, including payers, clinicians, and patients and families and could serve to decrease health care disparities in this needy population.

The study focuses on patients who require outpatient infusion of therapy ("Infusions, Intravenous"\[Mesh\]) "Administration, Intravenous"\[Mesh\] ("Home Infusion Therapy"\[Mesh\]) "Parenteral Nutrition, Home"\[Mesh\] via a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) ("Central Venous Catheters"\[MeSH\] "Catheterization, Central Venous"\[MeSH\] "Catheterization, Peripheral" \[MeSH\] "Vascular Access Devices"\[Mesh\] )

This is an implementation study evaluating differentiated service delivery model for the care of comorbidities for people living with HIV (PLWH). The Hybrid Type 3 study design is adopted, with the primary goal of evaluating implementation outcomes, and secondary goals of evaluating service and client outcomes according to the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework, including Proctor's Conceptual Framework for Implementation Outcomes, using mixed methods for data collection and analyses. PLWH will be identified from the Integrated Treatment Centre, an HIV clinic in Hong Kong, which provides care to around 3500 PLWH, with services including out-patient care of patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, antiviral therapy for HIV and hepatitis co-infection, and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases. PLWH with comorbidities will be asked to participate in a survey for willingness to participate. Those interested will be co-managed at the HIV Comorbidities Clinic at the Prince of Wales Hospital, where the DSD model of care is conducted. Evaluation of implementation outcomes will be performed at the end of the programme.
