✨ DFP Spotlight ✨ Read about Dr. Lilian Hung's research on dementia care and the UBC IDEA Lab below!

New research from UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers revealed that 8 in 10 ambulatory ❤️heart failure patients are adversely affected by two or more social determinants of health (SDOH). “Our research shows that adverse SDOH are exceedingly common in the heart failure population in the U.S. and that they tend to impact minority groups more significantly. Developing targeted social interventions to address these adverse SDOH can likely help improve heart failure care on a population level.” Andrew Sumarsono, M.D., M.P.H., Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine in the Division of Hospital Medicine at UT Southwestern.

Concordance between #patients and #physicians may boost satisfaction, but its impact on health outcomes is uncertain. Research by Neil Powe, MD ‘81, suggests that addressing biases and promoting diversity in healthcare leadership are essential. Effective communication and trust-building with patients through cultural responsiveness and provider training, as highlighted by Michael Liu’s work, are crucial. However, broader societal factors also influence health equity.

🌟 We're excited to share an insightful article by one of LCPC's researchers, Dr Semra Ozdemir, exploring the efficacy of Discrete Choice Experiments (DCEs) in assessing and predicting patient decisions.   🔍 Dr. Ozdemir and team delved into how DCEs compare with direct-elicitation questions in predicting patient preferences, particularly when influenced by the hot-cold empathy gap.   🧠 Their research, focused on pain-relief modalities, specifically epidurals during childbirth, sheds light on the impact of emotional nuances like hot-cold empathy gaps on patient's decision making using DCEs.   🔗 Check out the article for a deeper dive into this fascinating study, link in the comment!   Authors: Semra Ozdemir, Juan Marcos González Sepúlveda, Prateek Bansal, Huynh Vinh Anh, Ban Leong Sng, Eric Finkelstein   #HealthcareResearch #ResearchInsights #DiscreteChoiceExperiment #DCE #PatientDecisionMaking #LienCentreforPalliativeCare #DukeNUS #LienFoundation #Singapore Hospice Council

Today we celebrate National Latine Physician Day because 6% is not enough. There continue to be significant health care barriers, inequalities, and poorer outcomes in the Latine/Hispanic population and representation in medicine is necessary for our communities and for the future of medicine in the United States. Did you know that less than 2% of physicians are Latina and less than 1% are academic surgeons? Did you know that 19% of the US population is currently Latine, but in states like Texas and California it is well above 40%? Did you know that by 2050 1 out of every 3 Americans will identify as Latine/Hispanic?

🌟This week is Neurodiversity Celebration Week, a worldwide initiative that challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences, creating more inclusive and equitable cultures. Recent research by Dr. Jessica Eccles and Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS) showed "further proof of a link between neurodivergence and physical health issues, demonstrating a direct relationship between hypermobility and increased pain and dysautonomia." Dr. Eccles, Lead Author, Clinical Senior Lecturer, and MQ Versus Arthritis Fellow at BSMS, said: “There are considerable barriers to healthcare for neurodivergent people – our research demonstrates that the need to reduce these barriers is even greater and opens up potential pathways for personalized care. “Health providers need to make improvements to their services to make them more accessible to neurodivergent patients. They also need to move beyond “exclusive” diagnostic categories and traditional boundaries between body and brain that can lead to siloed healthcare.” Read more about this study and find video resources on EDS, HSD, and neurodiversity at https://lnkd.in/eWpXy4pE
