Duration of medical home participation and quality of care for patients with chronic conditions.
The objective of this study was to examine whether the length of participation in a patient-centered medical home (PCMH), an evidence-based practice, led to higher quality care for Medicaid enrollees with multiple co-morbid chronic conditions and major depressive disorder (MDD). The investigators concluded that the PCMH model was associated with higher quality of care for patients with multiple chronic conditions and MDD over time, and these benefits increased the longer a patient was enrolled.

Quality of care for youth hospitalized for suicidal ideation and self-harm.
The authors examined performance on quality measures for pediatric inpatient suicidal ideation/self-harm care, and whether performance is associated with reutilization. Subjects were patients aged 5 to 17 years hospitalized for suicidal ideation/self-harm. Their findings revealed disparities and deficits in the quality of care received by youth with suicidal ideation/self-harm. They recommended providing caregivers lethal means restriction counseling prior to discharge in order to help prevent readmission.

Quality of preventive and chronic illness care for insured adults with opioid use disorder.
Investigators sought to measure quality of non-opioid use disorder (OUD) preventive and chronic illness care and care coordination for individuals with OUD compared with individuals without OUD. They used deidentified data on outpatients throughout the United States from claims for commercially insured and Medicare Advantage enrollees aged 18 years or older with diagnosis codes for OUD. They found that individuals with OUD have moderately lower quality of care across preventive and chronic illness care and care coordination for non-OUD care compared with individuals without OUD. They recommended more attention to measurement and improvement of non-OUD care for these individuals.
