Research IN REVIEW 3^=i GREENSBORO AREA HEALTH EDUCATION CENTER ISSUE 1(1) APRIL 1996 Editors' Note & Welcome to the premier issue of Research IN Review. In recent years, the quantity and types of research conducted at the Mose Cone Health System (MCHS) have changed significantly. Research is no longer limited to the AHEC teaching programs as it was in the past; now many investigators throughout the hospital system, as well as many community-based physicians, are involved in research. From the basic science and quality control studies done in our laboratories to the clinical trials of new devices, we are using scientific methodologies to help ensure quality in both our current and future health services. Research in Review has been established to provide a forum for investigators to disseminate information about ongoing research activities to the medical and professional staffs of the hospital. Project reports are organized by department and supplemented with short segments on research related issues. The quest for knowledge through research is consistent with the hospital's commitment to providing quality health care and education. Our goal is that Research inRemew will increase the visibility and recognition of research in our institution. Thank you for your interest and support. £a •*" Please send material for publication to one of the Editors: Charles Hansen, MA, CCRC, Internal Medicine Residency Program; Martha Delaney, MA, & Teresa Rasco, Family Practice Residency Program. Internal Medicine Residency Program & NIH Funded AIDS Clinical Trials. In September 1990, a subunit to the AIDS Clinical Trials Unit at UNC-Chapel Hill was officially established at MCHS to extend the availability of experimental therapies for HIV and AIDS to patients in a geographical area not served by the medical center. Emphasis is placed on the enrollment of patients typically under-represented in HIV/AIDS research—females, IV drug users, and minorities. The subunit operates as part of the Infectious Diseases Clinic of the Hospital's Outpatient Department and is directed by Timothy W. Lane, MD. Additional medical support for the subunit is provided by the program's other infectious disease physicians, John F. Campbell, MD and Edward N. Robinson, Jr., MD. A full-time research coordinator, Pam Mentley, RN, a part-time data manager, Jean Farlow, and a pharmacist are funded through the NIH-supported grant to UNC. Funding for the previous years' budget cycles has totalled $493,234 and the proposed budget for the current year is $127,594. To date, a total of 92 patients from our area have been enrolled in 1 or more of the 13 clinical trials made available to them at the MCHS subunit. Other Faculty Research Timothy Lane, MD, Deborah Schoenhoff, MD and Charles Hansen, MA recently completed a survey of rubella immunity among US obstetricians. Data from southeastern states were presented in a poster session at the annual North Carolina Chapter of the American College of Physicians meeting in February, 1995, winning the best research poster award. The key finding that 21% of the obstetricians in the southeast did not have documented rubella immunity (positive titer or documented vaccination) points to a need for more vigilance in screening and vaccinating susceptible physicians. Dr. Schoenhoff will present the national data at the annual meeting of the Society of General Internal Medicine in Washington, DC in May, 1996 and a manuscript has been submitted for publication. Access to primary medical care continues to be a problem in our country, especially for patients insured by Medicare or Medicaid. Drs. Samuel Cykert and Rita Layson have conducted a national survey of internists, family and general practitioners and found that only 85% of the 1,400 physicians surveyed were accepting new continuing care patients. Of these physicians, nearly all accepted patients covered by private insurance, but only 40% and 70% accepted those insured by Medicaid and Medicare, respectively. These data were published in the June issue of the Journal of General Internal Medicine. Dr. Cykert comments that any system of health care insurance that uses a multi-tiered reimbursement strategy will likely result in reduced access to care for those most in need of medical services. <&>
