A network approach to stroke systems of care.
This study provided a network analysis of stroke systems of care. Stroke patients are increasing transferred between hospitals to receive higher levels of care, but coordination and triage of these patients remains a challenge. The network analysis provides an understanding of the central hubs, the change of network structure over time, and the dissemination of innovations.

'Eyes in the home': ACOs use home visits to improve care management, identify needs, and reduce hospital use.
Researchers used national survey data from physician practices and accountable care organizations (ACOs), paired with qualitative interviews, to learn about home visiting programs. They found that interviewed ACOs reported using home visits as part of care management and care transitions programs as well as to evaluate patients' home environments and identify needs, most often using nonphysician staff. Further, home visit implementation for some types of patients can be challenging because of barriers related to reimbursement, staffing, and resources.
