Brian C. Callaghan, MD, MS, and Kevin A. Kerber, MD, MS

Innovations in Care Delivery strives to highlight articles that feature advances in care delivery in our Editors' Blog, Editors' Top 5 Recommended Reading, and Latest Articles sections. Periodically, we also include interviews with leaders in the field of health services research.

Editors' Blog

The Innovations in Care Delivery blog, over the last several months, has discussed articles about the use of optical coherence tomography testing for the diagnosis of a prior unilateral optic neuritis1 and use of continuous EEG monitoring.2 Our goal is to highlight health services research articles published in Neurology® or Neurology® Clinical Practice, as well as to give opinions by experts in the field.

Editors' Top 5 Recommended Reading and Latest Articles

Check out our collection of Neurology articles related to innovations in care delivery. A recent article by Xu et al.1 analyzed the accuracy of optical coherence tomography for optic neuritis, with the accompanying blog on the Innovations in Care Delivery site by Lindsey De Lott, MD. A high sensitivity, when compared to the control population (in this case the known normal other eye), is only over the first of the 4 phases of diagnostic research, as defined by Drs. Sackett and Haynes.3

Another new addition is an article by Blank et al.4 about readmission after seizure discharge in a nationally representative sample. Using the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project's Nationwide Readmission Database, the authors found that 11% of patients hospitalized for epilepsy or seizures were readmitted within 30 days. Associations with readmission were comorbidities and Medicare or Medicaid insurance. The most common reasons for readmission were epilepsy or seizures (17%) and sepsis (7%).
