Characterizing the reach of comprehensive medication management in a population health primary care model.
As care teams adopt team-based models of care, it is important to examine the reach of interdisciplinary services, such as pharmacists providing comprehensive medication management (CMM). This study examined the reach of pharmacist-delivered CMM in the first 10 months of a population health-focused primary care transformation (PCT). This study illustrated that pharmacists providing CMM see complex patients with a high propensity for medication therapy problems.

An implementation model for managing cloud-based longitudinal care plans for children with medical complexity.
In this study, the investigators aimed to iteratively refine an implementation model for managing cloud-based longitudinal care plans (LCPs) for children with medical complexity (CMC). They conducted iterative 1-on-1 design sessions with CMC caregivers (ie, parents/legal guardians) and providers between August 2017 and March 2019. The investigators concluded that utilizing the management strategies, described in the article, when implementing cloud-based LCPs had the potential to improve team-based care across settings.

Variations in costs of a collaborative care model for dementia.
Care coordination programs can improve patient outcomes and decrease healthcare expenditures; however, implementation costs are poorly understood. In this study, the investigators evaluated the direct costs of implementing a collaborative dementia care program. They found that care team navigators caseload was an important driver of service cost. They provide strategies for maximizing caseload without sacrificing quality of care and discuss current barriers to broad implementation that can inform new reimbursement policies.

Sustainability of evidence-based acute pain management practices for hospitalized older adults.
This article reported on the sustainability of evidence-based acute pain management practices in hospitalized older adults following testing of a multifaceted Translating Research Into Practice (TRIP) implementation intervention. Results revealed most evidence-based acute pain management practices were sustained for 18 months following implementation.
