BACKGROUND In 2013, California passed Assembly Bill (A.B.) 2348, approving registered nurses (RNs) to dispense patient self-administered hormonal contraceptives and administer injections of hormonal contraceptives. The Family Planning, Access, Care and Treatment (Family PACT) program, which came into effect in 1997 to expand low-income, uninsured California resident access to contraceptives at ...

We introduce a new indicator for dynamical systems, namely the averaged number of visits, to estimate the frequency of visits in small regions when a map is iterated up to the inverse of the measure of this region. We compute this quantity analytically and numerically for various systems and we show that it depends on the ergodic properties of the systems and on their topological properties, su...

High utilizers of emergency departments account for a disproportionate number of visits, often for nonemergency conditions. This study aims to identify these high users prospectively. Routinely recorded registration data from the Indiana Public Health Emergency Surveillance System was used to predict whether patients would revisit the Emergency Department within one month, three months, and six...

In this paper, we consider the problem of designing personalised museum visits. Given a set of preferences and constraints a visitor might express on her visit, the aim is to compute the tour that best matches her requirements. The museum visits problem can be expressed as a planning problem, with cost optimization. We show how to bound the number of steps required to find an optimal solution, ...

Castela emoryi is an understudied species, and recent visits to populations across California have shed new light on its distribution and biology, including recruitment, natural history, and herbivory. Field exploration in Rice Valley in Riverside County revealed what is considered to be the largest population of C. emoryi in California. Possible threats and conservation needs of this species a...

Upcoming modifications are designed to capture current service delivery patterns, reimbursement methods, and payment sources for hospital visits, rather than what the hospital charges for individual treatment inputs; the result will be an index that better reflects price changes in the dynamic health care field.
