Trends in and Predictors of Patient Pharmacogenomic Test Uptake in a National Healthcare System

Better understanding patient uptake of pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing may inform its implementation and maximize the benefits that such testing can confer. This study examined patient and provider factors associated with PGx test ordering in a national healthcare system where panel-based testing was implemented as part of routine care. We used a retrospective matched cohort design and data from the Veterans Health Administration Corporate Data Warehouse. A conditional logistic model was used to identify factors associated with a PGx order receipt and estimate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. The following patient factors predicted receipt of a PGx test order: younger age, married status, rural residence, non-Hispanic Black or Hispanic race/ethnicity, PGx educational mailer receipt, depression diagnosis, allergy to a drug on the panel, prescriptions for drugs on the panel, and specialty care visits (p<0.05). Additionally, patients whose providers were female, younger, a nurse practitioner/physician assistant or pharmacist, or participated in an educational mailer program were more likely to receive an order (p<0.05). This study highlights factors that may facilitate or hinder the widespread and equitable implementation of PGx testing in a large national healthcare system. The information is being used to further refine the program.

TakeMeHome: A Novel Method for Reaching Previously Untested People Through Online Ordering and Self-Collect HIV and STI Testing.

Despite national testing guidelines, rates of testing for HIV, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and hepatitis C remain lower than recommended for men who have sex with men in the United States. To help address this, the TakeMeHome (TMH) program was started in March 2020 by Building Healthy Online Communities, a consortium of public health organizations and dating apps, to work with health departments to increase access to HIV testing for men who have sex with men on dating apps. Users of participating dating apps were sent messages about opportunities for testing with self-collected specimens through TMH. Program users were eligible to receive test kits if they lived in a participating zip code and were aged at least 18 years. Users who were interested in testing could order kits to be mailed to them for laboratory-based testing of HIV, hepatitis C, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and/or syphilis, depending on risk and availability in their zip code. Orders were sent via application programming interface to Molecular Testing Labs for fulfillment; kits were provided at no cost to the program user. Within approximately 24 hours of order receipt, Molecular Testing Labs mailed program users a kit with required collection supplies, directions, and a link to a video instruction for self-collection. Program users received an automated email after testing was complete with a link to access results through their online account. Individuals with positive results on any of the relevant tests were directed to additional information and to local providers for linkage to additional testing or treatment, depending on local protocols. The positivity rate of specimens processed through TMH was 1.4% for HIV, 0.6% for hepatitis C, and 2.9% for all STIs combined. The per-person positivity rate was 15.3% across all STIs. The TMH program demonstrates that self-collected laboratory-processed testing is feasible and effective at identifying new HIV and STI cases.

Individuals Eligible for Lung Cancer Screening Less Likely to Receive Screening When Enrolled in Health Plans With Deductibles.

In 2015, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and commercial insurance plans began covering lung cancer screening (LCS) without patient cost-sharing for all plans. We explore the impact of enrolling into a deductible plan on the utilization of LCS services despite having no out-of-pocket cost requirement. This retrospective study analyzed data from the Population-based Research to Optimize the Screening Process Lung Consortium. Our cohort included non-Medicare LCS-eligible individuals enrolled in managed care organizations between February 5, 2015, and February 28, 2019. We estimate a series of sequential logistic regression models examining utilization across the sequence of events required for baseline LCS. We report the marginal effects of enrollment into deductible plans compared with enrollment in no-deductible plans. The total effect of deductible plan enrollment was a 1.8 percentage-point (PP) decrease in baseline LCS. Sequential logistic regression results that explore each transition separately indicate deductible plan enrollment was associated with a 4.3 PP decrease in receipt of clinician visit, a 1.7 PP decrease in receipt of LCS order, and a 7.0 PP decrease in receipt of baseline LCS. Reductions persisted across all observable races and ethnicities. These findings suggest individuals enrolled in deductible plans are more likely to forgo preventive LCS services despite requiring no out-of-pocket costs. This result may indicate that increased cost-sharing is associated with suboptimal choices to forgo recommended LCS. Alternatively, this effect may indicate individuals enrolling into deductible plans prefer less health care utilization. Patient outreach interventions at the health plan level may improve LCS.

Application of Visual Sensing Image Processing Technology under Digital Twins to the Intelligent Logistics System

Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the advantages of logistics are neglected, and the scale operation and the welfare in the industry are difficult to achieve due to the influence of the economic system and social environment. Therefore, a new intelligent logistics distribution management system based on machine vision and visual sensor image processing technology is constructed to respond to the shortcomings of the traditional system, including slow efficiency, huge cost, complex data, and low degree of informatization. Through the analysis and research on the visual sensor image processing technology and the order processing, receipt management, distribution management, scheduling management, and return management that affect logistics distribution, a simulation experiment is used to verify that the visual sensor image processing technology is rigorous, intelligent, and efficient and has high precision. The intelligent logistics distribution management system can effectively solve the problems existing in the traditional logistics distribution management. The experimental results show that the visual sensor image processing technology can collect and analyze the target image and effectively track and monitor it in the logistics distribution process. The average distribution precision of the intelligent logistics distribution management system reaches more than 99.5%, which is greatly improved compared with 90% of the traditional logistics distribution. And it can greatly improve the distribution efficiency, which increases by about 26.5%. The study realizes the information management of the logistics system and automatically completes all the work according to the designed program, so that the real-time dynamic distribution can be transmitted to the urban logistics distribution at any time.

What Does Vietnam Gain When Its Currency Depreciates?

The study investigates how the depreciation of the Vietnam dong (VND) against the US dollar (USD) affected export turnover and the stock market in Vietnam during the period from 2000 to 2020. A Markov triple regime-switching model is developed for time-series data involving multistructural breaks. Empirical results reveal that the impact of exchange rates on export turnover and stock price existed both in the long and short run. In the short run, the depreciation of VND led to (i) an increase in export turnover after 12 months; (ii) a decrease in export turnover of the high-growing regime in the short term; (iii) a reduction in stock returns in most cases. In addition, the common cycle from order receipt, preparation, production, and export is about 12 months for all states. The high volatility of export turnover was associated with high export growth. The commonly used phrase of “high risk, high return” seems to not be true for Vietnam’s stock market. The results of this study suggest the feasibility of a slight appreciation of VND against USD, which is the key to escape from being labeled a currency manipulator by the US Treasury.

A case study of the analysis of business process modelling and notation for purchase order and Product receipt in small medium-sized enterprises

This research was aimed to analyze the business process of product purchase and product receipt on small and medium retail enterprises. The most of problem that appeared on Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) was lack of awareness to fix and improve the business process, because the appropriate business process could help the development of organization. The illustration of business process used Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN). BPMN could really help the making of business process to be understood easier by the users and could be analyzed, so it produced improvement suggestions on the business process in order to achieve business effectiveness. This research was a qualitative research, which the research data was collected through observation and interview techniques in PO Dolopo Grosir which was one of the biggest wholesale shops in Madiun District. The research result referred the deficiency on the business process of product purchase and product receipt in PO Dolopo Grosir. The deficiencies on this business process could be risky to cause problems such as error of purchase decision, forgetfulness of product return, and less strict checking standard on product receipt process.

Heuristic approaches for a vehicle routing problem with an incompatible loading constraint and splitting deliveries by order

The vehicle routing problem with an incompatible loading constraint and splitting deliveries by order is an extension of the well-known capacitated vehicle routing problem. Some orders cannot be transported alongside others due to some type of products in them or their special requirements on transportation condition. Additionally, splitting delivery by order is an effective method for enhancing vehicle efficiency since a customer might have many orders, and order is a set of compatible products. However, split delivery inevitably creates order receipt complexities and contributes to the significant complications of the problem in terms of formulating not only the model, but also the solution method. This study examines an innovative vehicle routing problem characterized by splitting deliveries by order, and addresses the inconvenience of order receipts and incompatibility among orders when fulfilling practical logistics requirements. We formulate this problem as an integer programming model, and the goal is to minimize the sum of routing cost and receipt cost. Then, two hybrid heuristic algorithms called MCWS-LS and S-ALNS are proposed to solve this problem. Furthermore, we conduct a series of experiments over existing vehicle routing problem instances, as well as analyze them under a realistic background to evaluate and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model and algorithms.

ANALYSIS OF THE MANAGEMENT OF MATERIAL AND TECHNICAL ASSETS OF ENTERPRISES

Variability of demand for goods, depending on their availability and cost is a frequently observed phenomenon in the sphere of production and consumption. This paper discusses the possibility of using the ABC analysis for the inventory management system. This type of analysis makes it possible to apply various methods of inventory management for increasing the income and reducing the costs of particular products for manufacturers.&#x0D; As is known, the management process approach emphasizes the systematic study of management by defining management functions in an organization and then examining each in detail. There is a general agreement on the planning, organizing, and controlling functions.&#x0D; Traditional inventory management systems, such as the Lean Order Quantity (EOQ) model, are based on the assumptions of constant demand rate, constant inventory cost, and instant order. The EOQ assumption of instant order receipt means that the entire order quantity, that is, all units of the purchased lot is immediately received from the supplier. The Economic Production Quantity (EPQ) model weakens this assumption by including incremental order receipt, i.e. debit.&#x0D; In recent years, major advances in the sphere of management include the following elements:&#x0D; process approach&#x0D; management science&#x0D; decision support approach,&#x0D; scientific approach to human resources development, and sustainable competitive advantage.&#x0D; These four approaches complement one another in current practice and provide a useful framework for project management.&#x0D; This paper presents a realistic model of the goods production and their inventory, since ABC analysis or ABC classification is an integral part of materials management. According to this approach, the inventory is divided into three categories depending on income generation. The ABC analysis helps entrepreneurs identify the main types of products in the warehouse, prioritize the goods management based on their cost, and analyze customer demand for a specific product.

Transshipment Vehicle Routing with Pickup and Delivery for Cross-Filling

Distribution centers (DCs) typically receive orders from the customers (mostly retail stores) located in their vicinity and deliver the ordered goods the next day morning. To maintain high item fill rate, DCs have to hold a high level of inventory, which will increase inventory cost. As an alternative, cross-filling is that, after closing the daily order receipt, DCs exchange surplus items during the night to reduce the shortage. The economic justification of such cross-filling will depend on the tradeoff between extra transshipment and handling cost versus saved shortage cost. In this paper, as an extension of Rim and Jiang, 2019, vehicles are allowed to drop and pick up items at the intermediate DCs in the route. We present a genetic algorithm to determine the routes and amount to pick up/drop at each DC to minimize the total cost.

Reverse Aftermarket Logistics in E-Commerce a Case Study in a Manaus Microenterprise

Logistics are of great importance in a globalized market. Supply chains are always in global competition, involving multiple countries and multiple companies. Direct Logistics is the process by which the products pass from the place of origin of the raw material to the final consumer. Aftermarket Reverse Logistics is required to resolve issues after products reach their final destination, and before consumption, but can also occur before, as is the case with e-commerce, due to problems in receiving ordering, packaging and shipping. Companies must always be prepared to respond quickly to this demand. Strict control of the entire process from order receipt to delivery to the consumer is required and this process needs to be integrated in real time. In the case study, of the orders sent, only about 3% present some problem, all of which are solved quickly. This result is the way the company handles each order, in constant communication with the customer, clarifying doubts and solving problems quickly. The result is the low return rate compared to other e-commerce companies, and the 100% resolution of cases, always valuing the satisfaction of their customers.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF ORDERS OF THE COMPANIES AND ORGANIZATION OF THE STAFF WORK

In the course of the study, the activity of Ukrainian enterprises was analyzed. It was revealed that the main aspects that require increased attention, regardless of the industry, are staff management and order management. The activity of any enterprise consists of fulfilling orders and, as a consequence, satisfying customers. It is proposed to develop an automated system that will enable to keep records of orders, namely: the time of order receipt, the number of products, the urgency, the necessary material and time resources, the priority of the order, the executor, the predicted and actual time of the order. This system will help to organize the work of staff, namely: to optimize the working hours of employees due to the dynamic scheduling of the task list; to introduce responsibility for an order that is tied to a specific employee, to keep records of shifts and working hours, automatically form a payroll with due account of worked shifts/hours. The work designed an automated system for managing orders and staff at middle-class enterprises. The requirements for this system are defined and two types of architecture are proposed. For a better understanding of the design phase of the automated system, a class diagram, activity diagram and interaction diagrams are presented. In the process of research, the end product was created with a user-friendly and intuitive user interface that maximally satisfies all the requirements that have been defined for this system. For today the system works in a test mode at the enterprise of Ukraine. The introduction of the system to the filter element manufacturing company allowed to improve the interaction with customers by 40 % due to faster fulfillment of orders; 80 % facilitate the work of managers to track and control the execution of orders; and also, by 20% increase the efficiency of the staff department. What on the whole positively affected the work of the enterprise as a whole.

Time-based management concept on the basis of the organizational-managerial innovations in a logistic company

Time could be considered as an important competitive advantage of logistics companies. In fact, execution time is the most significant factor affecting the performance of the supply chain. Regarding the issue mentioned above, it seems relevant to develop the economic and organizational-managerial paradigm from value-based thinking to a time- based. The focusing on the reducing the time cycle suspends the competitive advantage, received by the logistics company due to the shortening response time for customer requests. Therefore, we have set the time factor in the basis of the logistics company performance appraisal and the main effort should be focused on reducing the delivery time cycle from the moment of the order receipt to its final delivery to the consumer.

Comparison of suicidal ideation, suicide attempt and suicide in children and young people in care and non-care populations: Systematic review and meta-analysis of prevalence

Suicide in children and young people is a major public health concern. However, it is unknown whether individuals who have been in the care of the child welfare system are at an elevated risk. Care is presently defined as statutory provision of in-home care (e.g. child living with birth family but in receipt of legal order involving supervision by social workers) or out-of-home care (e.g. foster care, residential care and kinship care). This paper presents a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing the prevalence of suicidal ideation, suicide attempt and suicide in children and young people placed in care with non-care populations. A systematic search was conducted of 14 electronic bibliographic databases and 32 websites. Of 2811 unique articles identified, five studies published between 2001 and 2011 met the inclusion criteria. Studies reported on 2448 incidents of suicidal ideation, 3456 attempted suicides and 250 suicides. The estimated prevalence of suicidal ideation was 24.7% in children and young people in care compared to 11.4% in non-care populations. The prevalence of suicide attempt was 3.6% compared to 0.8%. Two studies reported on suicide. Suicide risk in children and young people in care was lower in one study (0% vs 0.9%) and higher in the second (0.27% vs 0.06%). The results of the systematic review and meta-analysis confirm that suicide attempts are more than three times as likely in children and young people placed in care compared to non-care populations. Targeted interventions to prevent or reduce suicide attempt in this population may be required. Further comparative studies are needed to establish if children and young people in care are at an elevated risk of suicidal ideation and suicide.

Manufacturing Execution Systems And A Sectoral Application

&lt;p class="KeywordsText"&gt; Information systems have widespread usage on Manufacturing Systems. Most companies need tracking production processes with information systems to become prominent in highly competitive environment. There are some specific metrics need to be followed and important to access these datas on time and also should be reliable. These metrics include all manufacturing and quality processes. In this context; efficiency, line stoppages, malfunction and interruptions, body and supplied part trace ability informations are needed. This study MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) is the system developed for tracking production processes. MES is working from receipt of order to delivery of the product that are the essentials for the production activities to achieve real time status of all manufacturing data. In this way, all information which not manually recorded or takes long process time to record or can be tracked instantaneously and these records can be reached and analyzed in the future. The system also provides accurate data for us. In this study all phases from design to implementation of an automotive subindustry firm’s MES application designed based on integrated software process requirements are depicted. Relevant system’s integrated software will be implemented to Module Line. This study will allow tracking related product’s all process, decision making and traceability data with serial numbers.&lt;/p&gt;

The Crossmatch/Issue Ratio: Use of a Novel Quality Indicator and Results of an International Survey on RBC Crossmatching and Issuing Practices.

To understand the worldwide scope of RBC crossmatching and issuing practices and measure efficiency using a novel quality indicator, the crossmatch/issue (C/I) ratio. An electronic survey was disseminated to hospital transfusion services collecting details about RBC crossmatching and issuing practices. Respondents were asked to enumerate the number of RBCs crossmatched and issued at their institutions during the 2014 calendar year to calculate the C/I ratio. Fifty-two survey responses were received, mostly from North American transfusion services (28/52, 54%). The electronic crossmatch was the most common technique (n = 29), and most respondents performed the crossmatch at the time that an order for RBCs was received in the transfusion service (even if an order to issue the RBCs was not received). Data to calculate the C/I ratio were supplied by 22 respondents, and the mean ± SD was 1.30 ± 0.34. There was no difference in C/I ratios between services that use the electronic or serologic crossmatch techniques (P = .49). The ratio was the same at the four sites that crossmatch RBCs at the time of issue compared with the time of order receipt (mean ± SD, 1.11 ± 0.09 vs. 1.35 ± 0.36, respectively; P = .19). Electronic crossmatching is common, and the C/I ratio can be an indicator of efficiency.

Reservation policies of advance orders in the presence of multiple demand classes

We consider an inventory system where customers provide advance order information. Specifically each customer order contains two attributes: a request date when the order is received and a due date specifying when the customer wants the order delivered. We assume M different customer classes whose demands are generated by independent Poisson processes. All customers in the same class have the same constant demand lead-time (the difference between the due date and the request date), and all demand lead-times are less than the replenishment lead-time of the inventory system. The inventory system is operated as a base-stock system where a replenishment order is issued instantaneously upon the receipt of a customer order. A key characteristic is that customers with a long demand lead-time can be overtaken by customers with a shorter demand lead-time. Therefore, a potentially important issue is: should items in stock be reserved for specific order requests, and if so, when? Here it is understood that after the reservation, the item cannot be used to fill other customer requests. We describe a general reservation policy, meaning that to each customer class a given reservation delay arises between receipt of an order and the reservation. Assuming that the revenue of an order depends on the demand lead-time, we propose a profit optimization model where the expected profit is the difference between the expected revenue and the expected inventory holding costs. We derive the profit function for the general reservation policy and find the optimal base stock level and the reservation policy by exhaustive search. In our numerical results we find cases where, by using the general reservation policy, there are improvements by more than 5% compared to either making no reservations at all, or making a complete reservation (that is, reservation immediately upon receipt) of items to incoming orders. Our numerical results also show that instead of using a general reservation policy, one can, without much loss of optimality, resort to a simpler reservation policy, denoted Backward Delay, BD.

Predictors of long-term (≥ 6 months) antipsychotic polypharmacy prescribing in secondary mental healthcare

IntroductionThe predictors of long-term antipsychotic polypharmacy (APP) initiation are poorly understood. Existing research has been hampered by residual confounding, failure to exclude cross-titration, and difficulties in separating the timing of predictors and APP administration. Materials and methodsUsing data from the South London and Maudsley (SLaM) case register, we identified all adult patients with serious mental illness (SMI) who were receiving care between 1st July 2011 and 30th June 2012. Exposures measured between 1st July and 31st December 2011 included socio-demographic, socioeconomic, clinical and service use characteristics. We then determined if long-term APP (six or more months) had been initiated between 1st January and 30th June 2012. Multivariable logistic regression models, adjusted for socio-demographic and socioeconomic factors, were built to investigate the associations between the above factors and the initiation of long-term APP. ResultsWe identified 6857 adults with SMI receiving SLaM care, of whom 115 (1.7%) were newly prescribed long-term APP. In the adjusted models, predictors of long-term APP initiation included: symptoms (severity of hallucinations and/or delusions), previous treatments (clozapine and long-acting injectable antipsychotic agents), service use (more contact with outpatient services, community treatment order receipt), social factors (higher area-level deprivation, homelessness) and socio-demographic status (younger age, not in a relationship). ConclusionOur findings highlight that certain patient groups are at an increased risk for long-term APP initiation. Identifying these groups earlier in their treatment could encourage clinicians to employ a broader range of interventions in addition to pharmacotherapy to reduce the risk of APP prescribing.
