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 has discussed articles about outcome measures for premanifest Alzheimer disease trials, nurse care managers in Parkinson disease, and out-of-pocket costs for commonly prescribed neurologic medications. 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.
In a recent Neurology editorial, Dr. Salinas1 raised the question about whether neurologists should be focusing on social-related aspects of health. He raised the question in response to the article by Grasset et al.2 about how income volatility during young adulthood might negatively influence midlife brain structure and cognitive function. Editorialist Salinas makes the following powerful statement and question: “These results are part of a larger ongoing story that points to social conditions as inseparable from disease and poses a critical question for each neurologist and for our field: What is our responsibility in addressing social determinants of health?”2
In another study, Veenhuizen et al.3 evaluated the effectiveness of a self-management group program of aerobic training and other factors to improve social participation in patients with neuromuscular disease and chronic fatigue. The design was a multicenter, randomized controlled trial of 53 patients. The intervention led to improvements in social participation and functional endurance.
