Integrating conceptual models to enhance home-based care for complex chronic diseases - SEIPS 3.0 and beyond.

Yuvaram Reddy, MBBS, MPH
University of Pennsylvania

ABSTRACT:
Home-based care for patients with complex chronic diseases can be challenging to administer, in part because these disease states, such as home dialysis for kidney failure, require complex sociotechnical interventions over a long duration of time. The complex nature of these treatments also makes it difficult to apply commonly used implementation science theories, models, and frameworks to improve care delivery. This presentation will describe real-world experiences of adapting and integrating conceptual models from human factors engineering and health equity to understand and address barriers to home dialysis use. In doing so, this presentation aims to illustrate how the systems engineering initiative for patient safety (SEIPS) 3.0 could be used for other complex chronic diseases states.

Not just for snacks – vending machines as a low-barrier harm reduction access method.

Alice Zhang, MD, MPH
Penn State College of Medicine

ABSTRACT:
Harm reduction-focused vending machines, delivering naloxone, fentanyl test strips, and other public health items, represent a potential non-stigmatizing, low-barrier approach to harm reduction that may increase access and engagement with underserved populations, reduce overdoses and related public health conditions, and health disparities in substance use disorder. Two interactive harm reduction-focused, community health-oriented vending machines have been implemented in central Pennsylvania, with two additional vending machines planned in 2026. This presentation will discuss barriers and facilitators to harm reduction vending machine implementation, as well as preliminary data on their acceptability, reach, utilization, and impact.
