Patients often present with symptoms that are disproportionate to the observed disease state, and grade disease severity differently from healthcare providers (HPs). This discordant symptom burden and severity grading (DSG) results in poorer patient care. Current research on DSG is limited, relying on structured models that are theoretically incomplete. To fully understand the factors driving DSG. Qualitative study of dermatology patients and HPs. Interview data were analysed using grounded theory to derive a model of the causes of DSG. 18 patients and 12 HPs were interviewed. Results reflect a tendency for patients to grade their condition more severely than HPs. Factors driving DSG are related to emotional and cognitive disparities in the constructs used to grade severity, varying consequences of disease due to differing resilience and coping methods, sociopsychological factors influencing how patients report their symptoms and the context of the consult. It is easy to label a patient with high symptom burden as having a low threshold for discomfort, or for a patient to presume that the doctor is unempathetic. This study suggests the causes are nuanced and multifactorial. A better understanding of DSG is required for achieving mutual understanding and patient-centred collaborative care.

Contamination-prevention behaviors such as mask wearing and physical distancing are crucial to reduce coronavirus transmission during the COVID-19 pandemic. We hypothesized that engagement in these behaviors could provoke obsessions and phobias in vulnerable individuals in the community. A total of 2117 participants, systematically selected to represent the age, gender, and race distributions of the US population, completed an online survey that assessed demographic characteristics, clinical features, COVID-19 risks, and COVID-19 contamination-prevention behaviors. Logistic regression was used to estimate the magnitude of the relationships between the COVID-19 behavior score and clinically significant contamination obsessions, contamination compulsions, and pre-COVID-19 to current change in obsessive-compulsive symptom scores. The COVID-19 behavior score was significantly associated with contamination obsessions (odds ratio (OR) = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.12–1.16; p < 0.001) and contamination phobias (OR = 1.14, 95% CI = 1.12–1.16; p < 0.001). The COVID-19 behavior score also was associated with pre-pandemic to current increase in the overall obsessive-compulsive symptom score (OR = 1.16, 95% CI = 1.09–1.23; p < 0.001), as well as increase in obsessive-compulsive symptom score excluding washing items (OR = 1.13, 95% CI = 1.07–1.19; p < 0.001). The magnitude of these relationships did not appreciably change, after adjustment for other variables associated with the outcomes. Moreover, the relationship was significant in those with or without OCD, and in individuals with different levels of doubt and COVID-19 risk. Contamination safety measures are critical for reducing the spread of COVID-19 in the community. However, they may be related to the development of contamination-related symptoms and OCD in vulnerable individuals, complicating the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders during this period.

Under-detection of HIV/AIDS still burdens many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Our randomized trial investigated the effects of financial incentives and a behavioral nudge to induce HIV testing and learning HIV status in Ecuador. In the control group, 12.2% of participants agreed to testing, and 5.3% learned results. A financial incentive paid at testing increased the fraction of participants tested by 50.1 percentage points (95% CI 38.8 to 61.4) and the fraction who learned their status by 8.9 percentage points (95% CI 5.3 to 12.5); the nudge had no effect. The HIV-positive rate was 1.2% in the control group, and incentives prompted a 4.7 percentage point (95% CI 0.5 to 8.9) higher proportion of HIV-positive detection. Incentives also induced earlier testing, suggesting reduced procrastination. This suggests that information with appropriately timed small financial incentives can improve HIV testing and detection of new cases in the general population in LMIC settings.

In this paper, we test the hypothesis that business-friendly local-government policies combined with weak legal institutions lead to lower economic welfare in the form of greater fraud activity. Using data of almost 3000 failed peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platforms in China, labeled as “runaways”, we find that they are more prevalent in provinces with business-friendly policies with weak law-enforcement regimes.

Turning university research output into useful products such as drugs, devices and diagnostics requires skills, knowledge, and resources traditionally attributed to private industry. When it comes to intangibles such as care delivery models, informatics and algorithms, and the software behind smart wearables, the commercialization challenges are even greater. With notable exceptions, Academic Medical Centers have typically not excelled in advancing commercialization of such non-patent intellectual property (IP). We believe that this is in part because the traditional closed form university IP policy, formulated since Bayh–Dole (1980), is ill-suited to non-patent IP. In this paper, we reflect on the evolving challenges that new forms of healthcare-related discoveries, specifically non-patent IP, are placing on the traditional university intellectual property and technology transfer regime, and to offer suggestions on how universities can begin to modernize their IP policies to support the valorization of non-patent IP.

Are the self-employed more stressed than the employed? Current research on entrepreneur stress are mixed. We utilize the age-adjusted telomere length to test the influence of human capital on self-employment and stress. Data from 3,580 adults in the 1999–2000 and 2001–2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were fitted to a theoretical model. Our findings support previous studies showing a positive relationship between self-employment and psychological stress. Moreover, we find that job tenure strengthens this relationship, implying that the self-employed who experience mental stress may find it challenging to recover the longer they have been self-employed.

Background Rehospitalizations are common in healthcare. They are costly for hospitals and patients and a substantial percentage are preventable, partly because hospital-to-community transitions are often unmanaged or poorly managed. In this study, we conducted a pragmatic randomized, controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a new nurse–practitioner-led transitional care program called CareHub, piloted in Singapore’s National University Hospital. Methods Study population included all eligible cardiac patients admitted between July 2016 and November 2016. Patients were followed for six months post-discharge. Primary outcomes other than emergency department visits were all cardiac-related: number of readmissions, specialist visits, emergency department visits, and total days readmitted. Secondary outcomes: variables related to quality of life and transitional care. Regression analyses were used to estimate the intent-to-treat effect of CareHub and explore treatment heterogeneity. Results CareHub reduced the mean number of unplanned readmissions by 0.23 (a 39% reduction relative to control mean of 0.60 unplanned readmissions, p < 0.05), mean number of all readmissions by 0.20 (31% reduction relative to control mean of 0.63 readmissions, p = 0.10), mean number of total unplanned days in hospital by 2.2 (56% reduction relative to control mean of 4.0 days, p < 0.05), mean number of total days in hospital by 2.0 (42% reduction relative to control mean of 4.3 days, p < 0.10). Treatment effects varied by pre-admission health and socio-economic status. Conclusion A carefully designed protocolized cardiac hospital-to-home transition program can reduce resource utilization while improving quality of life.

Research Summary Whether differences among accelerators explain differences in the performance of member ventures is an important and under‐explored question. Differences in venture performance can be explained by examining the differences of the accelerators they belong to. We use variance decomposition analysis to test whether variations in characteristics of accelerators explain performance differences in the ventures that belong to them. Using a sample of 1,442 ventures from 117 accelerator programs across 22 countries, we find that 11.13% to 14.18% variance of venture performance can be attributed to accelerator membership. Accelerator membership also accounted for 3.00%, 5.15%, and 16.65% in the variance for employee growth, employee costs, and revenue change, respectively. Our findings suggest that between accelerator differences can make a significant economic difference to venture performance. Managerial summary For accelerator managers and policymakers assessing if differences between accelerators explain the differences in outcomes of member ventures is important. Is the accelerator morphology so isomorphic that performance differences between ventures from different accelerators are generally similar? This article advances our understanding of differences among accelerators driving differences in performance among their ventures. Using a sample of 1,442 ventures from 117 accelerator programs across 22 countries, about 11% variance of venture performance can be attributed to accelerator membership. Overall, differences among accelerators seem to explain meaningful differences in performance among member ventures. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

This study investigates the extent to which formal governance mechanisms such as contracts and equity ownership affect interfirm coordination and partnership performance. We analysed data from a survey of 301 Korean firms to show that interfirm coordination partially mediates the relationship between contract completeness, defined as the extent to which a contract specifies task operations and contingencies, and partnership performance. Furthermore, we find that more complete contracts can attenuate the negative effects of equity ownership on coordination, and that this effect is particularly strong when partner tasks are interdependent and relational norms are weak.

The acute medical unit (AMU) provides early specialist care to emergency department patients before inpatient admission. The workflows and skills for successful AMU nursing comprise a hybrid of internal and emergency medicine. To understand nursing work dynamics in the AMU. AMU at a 1,250-bed tertiary academic center in Singapore with 14,000 ED presentations monthly. Retrospective mixed methods study using focus group discussions and surveys. Fifteen nurses across three focus group discussions. Thirty-two physicians and 54 nurses responded to a validated questionnaire. Focus group discussions transcripts content analyzed by two researchers. Survey items factor analyzed and attitudinal differences between AMU physicians and nurses, and among nurses compared using Student's t- and one-way ANOVA tests. AMU nursing staff faced obstacles of inadequate patient information, emergency department onboarding, unbalanced workload, and coworker conflicts, which led to them to develop processes and checklists to manage patient information, patient expectations, and teamwork. AMU nursing requires a combination of specialist internal medicine and emergency medicine skills. Training should familiarize nurse workforce with managing patient expectations and multidisciplinary teamwork.

Interlocking directorates, in which companies are linked by the directors that serve on their boards, exist globally. It is an expression of hegemonic power exercised by the elites of a society, and has been studied with great interest by organizational sociologists, management scholars and financial economists. The interest emanates from the effect that interlocks have on wealth creation and distribution, and from the perspective that interlocks can tell us how elites in a society are networked. Although diverse theoretical perspectives have informed the research on interlocking directorates, this review shows that the Anglo‐American perspective dominates. This dominance is notable not only in the volume of Anglo‐American studies, but also in theories employed by international studies. For example, most international studies use agency theory to investigate the welfare implications of interlocks, but many countries do not use the Anglo‐American legal regime, which is the basis for agency theory. This paper expands the theoretical basis of the review to include class hegemony and resource dependence, to articulate better the causes and consequences of interlocks in the international context. The paper also extends theory by showing that institutions have an important influence on interlocks, so that the latter can be welfare‐depleting in one institutional setting, while welfare‐enhancing in another. The review concludes by discussing the implication for future research.

There is a small but theoretically important literature on ‘born-globals’ or international new venture firms that positions itself in contrast to the more established sequential international entry literature. In this paper we examine the pattern of entry into international markets for a set of international new ventures and show that they need not be a distinct breed of firms, as previous research has portrayed. Absent a specific technological advantage, the decision for a new venture to internationalize at inception is influenced by the size of its home market and by its production capacity, as well as by cultural and economic forces that also influence other more traditional firms that stage their entry into international markets. Most importantly, we demonstrate that the decision to internationalize or not should be considered jointly with the capacity allocation decision to specific international markets, as analysing these separately may lead to biased results.

Investments in research and development (R&D) are essential to innovation, long-term value creation, and wealth accumulation. Since family wealth and firm performance are tightly coupled in family firms, how they invest during times of economic distress matters to their wealth accumulation over the generations. In this study, we examined the impact of the 2007 Great Recession on the R&D decisions of publicly-listed family firms in the United States. We compared family and non-family U.S. firms, excluding those in the financial sector, with total assets greater than $1 million for the period 1992 to 2015. Using the behavioral agency model, we hypothesized that among firms that were not financially constrained during the economic crisis, family firms were more likely than non-family firms to invest in R&D. The results support this hypothesis, lending credence to the notion that family firms undertook more risks when performance is below their long-term aspirations during economic downturns.

The Bayh–Doyle Act of 1980 accelerated academic entrepreneurship in universities. However, not all qualified researchers sought to be involved in patenting. We compared researchers’ human capital and their perceptions of resource availability on patent applications. We collected primary data from biomedical principal investigators from 15 universities using a validated questionnaire. Our results from logistic regression strongly suggest that human capital had a stronger influence than perceptions of resource availability for commercialization activities on patent applications. The policy implications are that universities should seek to enhance the stock of human capital most associated with patenting behaviors to improve academic entrepreneurial outcomes.
