Continuity of Care, Medication Adherence, and Health Care Outcomes Among Patients With Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes

Medical Care (2012)

Chi‐Chen Chen Chin‐Hsiao Tseng Shou‐Hsia Cheng

The effects of continuity of care (COC) on health care outcomes are well established. However, the mechanism of this association is not fully understood.The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between COC and medication adherence, as well as to investigate the mediating effect of medication adherence on the association between COC and health care outcomes, in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes.This study utilized a longitudinal design and included a 7-year follow-up period from 2002 to 2009 under a universal health insurance program in Taiwan. Patients aged 18 years or older who were first diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2002 were included in the study. Random intercept models were conducted to assess the temporal relationship between COC, medication adherence, and health care outcomes.Patients with high or intermediate COC scores were more likely to be adherent to medications than those with low COC scores [odds ratio (OR), 3.37; 95% confidence interval (CI), 3.15-3.60 and OR, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.74-1.94, respectively]. In addition, the association between COC and health care outcomes was partly mediated by better medication adherence in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes.Improving the COC for patients with type 2 diabetes may result in higher medication adherence and better health care outcomes.

Comparative analysis of the cost and effectiveness of generic and brand‐name antibiotics: the case of uncomplicated urinary tract infection

Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety (2016)

Yu‐Shiuan Lin I‐Shiow Jan Shou‐Hsia Cheng

Generic medications used for chronic diseases are beneficial in containing healthcare costs and improving drug accessibility. However, the effects of generic drugs in acute and severe illness remain controversial. This study aims to investigate treatment costs and outcomes of generic antibiotics prescribed for adults with a urinary tract infection in outpatient settings.The data source was the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database of Taiwan. We included outpatients aged 20 years and above with a urinary tract infection who required one oral antibiotic for which brand-name and generic products were simultaneously available. Drug cost and overall healthcare expense of the index consultation, healthcare cost during a 42-day follow-up period, and treatment failure rates were the main dependent variables. Data were compared between brand-name and generic users from the entire cohort and a propensity score-matched samples.Results from the entire cohort and propensity score-matched samples were similar. Daily antibiotic cost was significantly lower among generic users than brand-name users. Significant lower total drug claims of the index consultation only existed in patients receiving the investigated antibiotics, while the drug price between brand-name and generic versions were relatively large (e.g., >50%). The overall healthcare cost of the index consultation, healthcare expenditure during a 42-day follow-up period, and treatment failure rates were similar between the two groups.Compared with those treated with brand-name antibiotics, outpatients who received generic antibiotics had equivalent treatment outcomes with lower drug costs. Generic antibiotics are effective and worthy of adoption among outpatients with simple infections indicating oral antibiotic treatment. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A Checklist for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Proceedings of the Human Factors Society Annual Meeting (1986)

George M. Calisto Bernard C. Jiang Shou‐Hsia Cheng

Efforts to control the incidence of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) in industry should focus on introducing the shop supervisor to those basic biomechanical principles underlying the etiology of CTS; i.e., it is the supervisor who best monitors an employee's reactions to prescribed work methods, tools, and concomitant postures. A three-part, pictorially illustrated checklist was developed: Part I assists in the identification of upper-extremity working postures; Part II facilitates the judgement of force/torque levels by identifying the implemented tool and the material which it acts on; and Part III examines the mechanical stresses resulting from hand-tool and/or limb-worksurface interfaces. Copies of the checklist were distributed to several AT&T manufacturing, installation, service, data, and material management centers to determine its readability, relevance, time for completion, and utility in terms of orienting the supervisor to the said principles. In general, supervisory input indicated that the checklist catered mainly to the manufacturing sector: most manufacturing supervisors found the form to be readable, pertinent, and edifying.

An Investigation into the Relationship Between Employment and Economic Growth

Modern Economics & Management Forum (2024)

Shou‐Hsia Cheng

This paper aims to explore the mutual relationship between employment and economic growth. By reviewing the current situation of related research at home and abroad, it explains the determining role of economic growth in employment and the reciprocal influence of employment on economic growth. Combining the actual situation of China, this paper analyzes the reasons for the current high growth and low employment, including government preference, technological progress and unreasonable industrial structure. Finally, it puts forward suggestions and countermeasures such as transforming government functions, choosing new technologies to promote employment, adjusting industrial structure, and vigorously developing the tertiary industry, in order to achieve synergistic growth of employment and the economy.
