Cascades of care after incidental findings in a US national survey of physicians.
The objective of this study was to estimate the national frequency and consequences of cascades of care after incidental findings using a national survey of US physicians. 991 practicing U.S. internists in a research panel representative of American College of Physicians national membership participated in the survey. Survey findings indicated that almost all respondents had experienced cascades after incidental findings that did not lead to clinically meaningful outcomes yet caused harm to patients and themselves. Recommendations included encouraging policy makers and health care leaders to address cascades after incidental findings as part of efforts to improve health care value and reduce physician burnout.

Staff and clinician work-life perceptions after implementing systems-based improvements to opioid management.
The authors assessed the impact of implementing the Six Building Blocks on the work-life of primary care providers and staff. Six rural and rural-serving primary care organizations implemented the Six Building Blocks, with assistance from practice facilitators, clinical experts, and informatics specialists. The authors found that clinicians and staff reported improvement in their work-life after implementing the Six Building Blocks Program to improve opioid medication management and recommended further research on patient experiences specific to practice redesign programs.

Provider perceptions on the management of lupus during pregnancy: barriers to improved care.
This paper discusses a focus group that was created of women with lupus who either were pregnant or were planning to get pregnant. Outcomes in women with lupus is bad for more than half of pregnancies for the mother or the fetus. The focus group’s objective was to discuss issues about pregnancy planning and management. Problems include ill-timed pregnancies, and medication non-adherence. Communication gaps between the rheumatologist and the obstetrician/gynecologist can result in confusion for the patient with optimal treatment plans.
