New findings from the National Poll on Healthy Aging suggest many people in their 50s, 60s, and 70s need to do more to modify their homes or plan for services they may need if they want to avoid or delay needing to move. The poll also shows differences in aging-in-place readiness among the 28% of older adults who told the poll that they live alone.

A new study led by John Hollingsworth, M.D., M.S., professor of urology, and published in JAMA Health Forum, shows that Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) with higher percentages of members of racial and ethnic minority groups tended to have higher percentages of out-of-network primary care. That meant the patient’s routine care was delivered by a provider with no connection to the ACO, and therefore no potential financial benefit if they hit the quality benchmarks.

|
|
Two new studies led by Tiffany Veinot, Ph.D., professor of information, uncover the barriers that both patients and providers face in understanding the costs for prescription medications and medical tests and the technology that could be used to close the gap.

Research from a Michigan Medicine team led by Michael Sjoding, M.D., assistant professor of internal medicine, and published in JAMA Network Open, uncovered racial disparities in the accuracy of pulse oximeters, finding Black patients were more likely than white patients to have a discrepancy between their oxygen readings. The same team partnered with U-M C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital and found Black children experienced low blood oxygen despite a normal pulse oximeter reading.
