Summary: This study estimates the efficiency of primary health care services in China and its determinants. The results show that there are issues with the efficiency of primary health care services in China and variations in efficiency values between regions. Over time, the productivity of primary health care services has been decreasing, mainly due to slowing technology change. Therefore, increasing financial support is needed to improve the efficiency of primary health care services.

Summary: Healthcare organizations are increasingly screening and documenting social determinants of health (SDH) in the electronic health record (EHR) to support medical decision-making and referrals to social care resources. Physicians practicing in community health centers, participating in payment models with social care initiatives, and aware of other advanced EHR functionalities demonstrate higher levels of awareness of social needs documentation.

Summary: Previous research has shown that female physicians spend more time than male physicians in the electronic health record (EHR). This study aimed to examine gender differences in EHR usage among primary care physicians and identify potential causes for those differences. The findings indicate that female primary care physicians spend more time working in the EHR and receive more staff and patient messages compared to their male colleagues.

Summary: The utilization of primary-care and specialist physicians shows socioeconomic inequalities, with more pronounced disparities found in visiting specialists. While probabilities of consulting primary-care physicians show little association with SES, frequencies of visits are higher among the most disadvantaged. On the other hand, probabilities of visiting specialists are linked to SES, yet the number of visits does not show a strong association with socioeconomic status.

Summary: This study compares the factors considered by primary care physicians when making prescription medication recommendations vs referral recommendations for surgery. The findings reveal that physicians rely on objective data and patient attributes for medication recommendations, while subjective factors, such as personal experience and beliefs, play a dominant role in surgeon and hospital referrals. Introducing accessible and reliable surgical data is crucial for improving the referral process and surgical outcomes.

Summary: The study found that family-reported social needs are associated with pediatric healthcare utilization, especially when the social needs are considered urgent, leading to higher likelihood of emergency department visits or inpatient stays. Food and transportation needs were the most common. Children with social needs were more inclined towards emergency and inpatient care, while those without social needs were more likely to have regular well-child visits.

Summary: This study found that few patients reported being screened for social isolation in primary care settings, despite low levels of discomfort with screening. Discomfort with and participation in prior screening for social isolation were not associated with social isolation levels, but patients desiring assistance with social isolation tended to have higher levels of social isolation and poorer health status. Providers should consider expanding social isolation screening and referral practices, especially among patients who express interest in assistance with social isolation.
