Recruitment of participants in the childhood Asthma Management Program (CAMP). I. Description of methods: Childhood Asthma Management Program Research Group.

The Childhood Asthma Management Program (CAMP), a multicenter clinical trial sponsored by the Division of Lung Diseases of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), is the largest outcome study of mild to moderate asthma in children to be undertaken, with eight clinical centers in the United States and Canada participating. The initial recruitment goal was 960 children within an 18-month recruitment period. Recruitment was extended to 23 months, with 1041 children randomized from late December, 1993, to early September, 1995. In this time interval each of the eight centers met the recruitment goal of 120 using a variety of self-selected recruitment strategies. The goal for minority recruiting was 33%, or 320 of the planned 960 children to be recruited. CAMP achieved the overall goal for the number of minorities, with 330 patients. Three centers recruited at or above the expected rate from the beginning. The other five centers had significant delays in recruitment. Examination of the recruitment experiences of the centers with and without delays did not indicate any single recruitment strategy that was certain to be successful. The most commonly cited factors for success were a cohesive staff, endorsement of participation by the child's primary care provider, and ability of the staff to be flexible and honest in assessing progress and the value of recruiting methods being used.

The Health Consultation Program: a model school nurse education program.

The Health Consultation Program (HCP) provides educational resources to school nurses throughout the state of Washington. It has several components, including consultation with clinical nurse specialists, a video lending library, health education materials, continuing education seminars, and preceptorships. School nurses access desired services to assist them in a variety of activities, such as developing individualized health care plans or teaching other school personnel about a child's special needs. Quotations from school nurses gathered during HCP evaluations indicate greater self-care abilities by students, improved skills of teachers and other professionals, increased planning for safe and appropriate care, and improved quality of care.

Program Operation and Technical Aspects of a Regional Primary PTCA Program.

In this section of the symposium, we will divide the discussion into two parts: the hypothesis, and the background and operation of a regional primary angioplasty program with review of the results in our location in West Texas. A brief discussion of the technical aspects in the performance of primary angioplasty will be detailed. We will review the practical aspects of the performance of primary percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty with outlines for implementation of the angiogram, conducting angioplasty, giving adjunctive mechanical and chemical therapies, care of the patient after the intervention and the potential need for subsequent coronary bypass surgery. Guidelines regarding initiation of a regional approach to triage acute myocardial infarction patients will be discussed. The rationale for risk stratification with angiography, order and technical aspects of the performance of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, need for adjunctive medical therapy, delineation of coronary bypass classification and details of after care will be fundamentally outlined.

Medicaid program; time limitation on record keeping requirements under the drug rebate program. Interim final rule with comment period.

On August 29, 2003, we published a final rule with comment period in the Federal Register that finalized two specific provisions: it established new 3-year recordkeeping requirements for drug manufacturers under the Medicaid drug rebate program and set a 3-year time limitation during which manufacturers must report changes to average manufacturer price and best price for purposes of reporting data to us. In addition, it announced the pressing need for codification of fundamental recordkeeping requirements. On September 26, 2003, we issued a correction notice to change the effective date of the August 29, 2003 rule from October 1, 2003 to January 1, 2004. In this interim final rule with comment period, we are removing the 3-year recordkeeping requirements, replacing them with 10-year recordkeeping requirements on a temporary basis, and soliciting comments on the 10-year requirements. Manufacturers must retain records beyond the 10-year period if the records are the subject of an audit or a government investigation of which the manufacturer is aware. These provisions contain a sunset date with respect to the record retention requirements to ensure that we reexamine whether the retention rule remain necessary and effective. This interim final rule with comment period also responds to public comments on the August 29, 2003 final rule with comment period that pertain to the 3-year recordkeeping requirement at Sec. 447.534(h).

HIV substance abusers encouraged to use new case management program. Study shows program works.

A strength-based case management program for HIV-positive patients who are active substance abusers appears to have some success in directing some patients to HIV care and treatment, according to recent research. For about 15 years, Ohio behavioral scientists have used a strength-based case management model with substance abusers, having case managers meet with them over a nine month period with the purpose of improving their health care outcomes. What we found in summary is, indeed, case management did lead to better outcomes, including less involvement in criminal activity and lower levels of drug use, says Richard C. Rapp, MSW, assistant professor in the department of community health at School of Medicine, Wright State University in Dayton, OH. Rapp also is with the Center for Interventions, Treatment and Addiction Research (CITAR) in Dayton. "Case management seemed to help keep people in treatment, and longer treatment led to better outcomes," Rapp says. "So that's our rallying cry for case management." With encouragement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of Atlanta, GA, Rapp and co-investigators developed a model of strength-based case management that was studied in the antiretroviral treatment and access study (ARTAS), which ran from 2003 to 2004.

Structural visualization of expert nursing: Hemodialysis patient education program "behavior modification program for hemodialysis patients".

Behavior modification programs (BMP) have been suggested to be useful for the self-management of hemodialysis (HD) patients. To provide more systematic care, we structured the procedure of the thinking process and care in BMPs as an algorithm. BMP developers produced a temporary algorithm based on previous studies, discussed it with nurses with BMP experience, and added and revised necessary items. As a result, an algorithm of BMP with high reproducibility that allows maintenance of consistent quality for the self-management of HD patients could be developed.
