How to Maximize Personal Health Records (PHR) Data Utilization: Comprehensive Disease Screening Test Recommendation

Periodic health examinations (PHE) are a critical step in disease screening and prevention. However, most people and non-primary care professionals can only list some appropriate investigations. Self-assessment with common information in the Personal Health Records (PHR) application plus advanced medical logic is one solution to getting a comprehensive PHE item.

Disease screening is the process of identifying high-risk patients with specific diseases from the general population. This process for an asymptomatic population differs from early diagnosis, which is suitable for patients with symptoms. Cancer represents a good example to show the several benefits of screening. Here are some examples:

• Reduction in the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer.

• Less aggressive treatment, e.g., chemotherapy for breast cancer.

• Early-stage treatment also reduces overall healthcare budget spending, according to the health economic perspective.

However, the disease screening programme is not without risk. The most common adverse events resulting from inappropriate screening are false positive and false negative results, over diagnosis, and overtreatment.

• False-positive screening results often lead to unnecessary additional investigation and complication. Aside from that, psychological effects such as depression and anxiety may be discovered. In the healthcare system's management view, this unnecessary intervention may impact other patients' waiting times.

• False negative screening results also lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment. This error may bring liability and reputational risk to the healthcare provider.

• Over diagnosis and overtreatment: true positive results may not benefit. There are some diseases in which early and late detection make no difference in treatment outcomes. For example, a disease with slow progress.

To avoid the above events, selecting screening tests for patients based on evidence-based medicine is essential. Among standard references, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) is a reliable and easy-to-use resource for primary care physicians and nurses.

The USPSTF is an independent volunteer panel of national experts in preventive and evidence-based medicine. The Task Force works to improve the health of people nationwide by making evidence-based recommendations about clinical preventive services such as screenings, counseling services, and preventive medications. Task Force members come from the fields of preventive medicine and primary care. The Task Force assigns each recommendation a letter grade based on the strength of the evidence and the balance of benefits and harms of a preventive service.

Although disease screening references are already in place, according to the author's survey of doctors and nurses from one of Newsweek's top 250 world's best hospitals in 2022 with more than ten years of experience in the primary care setting and a screening package that was conducted in February 2023, it shows that all patients were suggested to take at least one unnecessary screening test. Electrocardiograms and tumor markers are the most common unnecessary screening tests.

• Ovarian cancer: The guideline recommends against screening for ovarian cancer in asymptomatic women. This recommendation applies to asymptomatic women who are not known to have a high-risk hereditary cancer syndrome. (Grade D)

• Cardiovascular disease: recommends against screening with resting or exercise electrocardiography (ECG) to prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD) events in asymptomatic adults at low risk of CVD events. (Grade D)

Moreover, the majority of them didn't receive complete guidance on the best screening tests or appropriate screening tests. The five investigations listed below are prioritized in the 55-year-old population based on disease severity and frequency of neglect.

• Osteoporosis: recommends screening for osteoporosis with bone measurement testing to prevent osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal women younger than 65 years who are at increased risk of osteoporosis, as determined by a formal clinical risk assessment tool. (Grade B)

• Colorectal cancer screening is recommended for all adults aged 50 to 75 (Grade A).

• Breast cancer screening mammography every two years for women aged 50 to 74 years (Grade B).

• Cervical cancer screening is recommended every 3 years for women aged 30 to 65 years, every 5 years for high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) testing alone, or every 5 years for hrHPV testing in combination with cytology (co-testing) (Grade A).

• Lung cancer: The CDC recommends annual screening for lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) in adults aged 50 to 80 years who have a 20-pack-year smoking history and who currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years. (Grade B)

Common root causes:

• Attitude: Most screening staff suggest screening tests based on age and gender. Only a small portion of the information from the assessment form—which asks about the underlying disease, family history, and lifestyle risk—is used in the analysis. These data are also used to evaluate in some cases. Still, it depends on the screening staff’s experience. Patients usually focus on non-invasive off-label cancer screening investigations, e.g., carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), etc. Osteoporosis is also overlooked because of the low level of concern in the general population.

• History-taking limitation: As screening is a general health approach, it requires a multi-dimensional history, including a sexual and some health risk history, e.g., illicit drug use. This data is confidential and will take some time to gather and consolidate. The short period of assessment time and taking the assessment in a non-private area are the key barriers to getting a complete history.

• Complexity and variation of screening standards: an indication for some screening tests is not straightforward. Also, there are several steps in the analysis required to get the recommendation. For example, the number of cigarettes smoked per year is required for lung cancer screening recommendations.

• Financial concern: Although colon cancer screening is clearly recommended for adults aged 50–75, some populations may still be prevented from getting the necessary screenings because they lack full financial coverage.

• Test preparation: Some tests require more preparation and more time. For example, a half-day is required for bowel preparation before a colonoscopy.

The Importance of Hiring a Semi-Truck Accident Lawyer

Semi-trucks, also known as big rigs, loom large on the highways and interstates, dominating the landscape with their mammoth presence. These colossal vehicles can tip the scales at a staggering 80,000 pounds, necessitating a specialized license for their operation. Tragically, when a semi-truck is embroiled in an accident, the ramifications can be catastrophic. Victims may suffer life-altering injuries or, in the worst-case scenario, face an untimely demise, while the trucking company may find itself caught in the throes of significant legal and financial fallout.

If you or someone you care about has found themselves caught in the maelstrom of a semi-truck accident, it’s imperative to procure legal representation from a skilled and experienced semi-truck accident lawyer. These legal professionals boast a comprehensive comprehension of the labyrinthine regulations that govern the trucking industry, guiding victims through the bewildering maze of legal procedures to seek compensation for the extensive damages they have incurred.

Alarming statistics demonstrate that semi-truck accidents are steadily on the rise, escalating the gravity of the issue. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, large trucks and buses were involved in approximately 4,000 fatal crashes in 2019. Furthermore, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration revealed that in 2020, there were over 180,000 injuries stemming from large truck accidents. These staggering figures underscore the direness of semi-truck accidents and reinforce the urgent necessity for experienced legal representation in such cases.

I. Benefits of Hiring a Semi-Truck Accident Lawyer

Behold the manifold benefits of retaining a semi-truck accident lawyer in the aftermath of an unfortunate incident involving one of these massive machines. Allow us to illuminate some of the prime advantages of employing a skilled and experienced legal professional:

1. Expertise in federal and state regulations:

Semi-trucks are subject to a labyrinthine array of federal and state regulations governing driver qualifications, hours of service, vehicle maintenance, and cargo loading. An adept semi-truck accident lawyer possesses a profound comprehension of these regulations, allowing them to identify any violations that occurred and bolster the victim’s case accordingly.

2. Comprehension of insurance policies and coverage:

The insurance coverage for semi-trucks typically towers over that of standard passenger vehicles. Moreover, there may be multiple insurance policies at play, such as the trucking company’s policy, the driver’s policy, and the cargo owner’s policy. A semi-truck accident lawyer can assist victims in navigating this intricate web of insurance policies, ensuring they obtain equitable compensation.

3. Familiarity with the legal process and court system:

A semi-truck accident case often entails convoluted legal procedures and court processes, including discovery, depositions, and expert testimony. An experienced semi-truck accident lawyer possesses adeptness in these processes, enabling them to shepherd victims through the legal system with clarity and confidence.

4. Capacity to negotiate with insurance companies on the victim’s behalf:

Insurance companies may endeavor to offer victims a meager settlement to evade the prospect of going to court. A semi-truck accident lawyer can adroitly negotiate with insurance companies on the victim’s behalf, advocating for a settlement that accounts for all of the victim’s damages.

5. Access to expert witnesses and accident reconstruction specialists:

A semi-truck accident lawyer boasts access to expert witnesses and accident reconstruction specialists, who can furnish valuable testimony in court. These specialists can help establish liability, identify the cause of the accident, and supply vital evidence to buttress the victim’s case.

6. Assistance with collecting and preserving evidence:

Collecting and preserving evidence is imperative in a semi-truck accident case. A semi-truck accident lawyer can aid victims in amassing and conserving evidence, such as witness statements, police reports, and photographs of the accident scene, fortifying their case.

7. Guidance through the claims process and legal proceedings:

Negotiating the claims process and legal proceedings can prove overwhelming for victims of semi-truck accidents. A semi-truck accident lawyer can furnish guidance and support throughout the process, ensuring victims comprehend their rights and options.

8. Advocacy for the victim’s rights and interests:

Above all, a semi-truck accident lawyer is a fervent champion for the victim’s rights and interests. They labor assiduously to secure the compensation victims deserve, thwarting attempts by insurance companies or other parties to take advantage of the victim’s plight.

According to the American Trucking Association, the trucking industry raked in a staggering $791.7 billion in revenue in 2019, accounting for a colossal 80.4% of the nation’s freight bill. Given the substantial economic stakes at play, it’s no surprise that the trucking industry and insurance companies will mount a vigorous effort to minimize the compensation awarded in semi-truck accidents. Engaging the services of a deft semi-truck accident lawyer can restore equilibrium to the situation, ensuring that victims obtain the recompense they deserve.

II. Types of Semi-Truck Accidents

Semi-truck accidents are complex incidents that can occur in a variety of ways, with each accident having its own distinct set of circumstances and potential causes. Here are some of the most common types of semi-truck accidents:

1. Rear-end collisions:

Rear-end collisions are a prevalent type of accident involving semi-trucks, which can occur when a truck collides with the vehicle in front of it. Driver error, such as distraction, fatigue, or tailgating, is often a contributing factor in these accidents.

2. Rollover accidents:

Semi-trucks can tip over onto their sides or roof in rollover accidents, which can have several causes, including driver error, shifting loads, or poor road conditions.

3. Jackknife accidents:

When the trailer of semi-truck swings out to the side, creating a “V” shape with the cab of the truck, it’s called a jackknife accident. Hard braking is a frequent cause of this type of accident, leading to the loss of trailer traction and a loss of control.

4. Underride accidents:

A smaller vehicle can slide under the trailer of a semi-truck during an underride accident. These accidents are often catastrophic because the top of the smaller vehicle can be crushed or sheared off in the process.

5. Head-on collisions:

Head-on collisions with semi-trucks are often fatal due to the size and weight of the vehicles involved. These accidents may happen when a semi-truck enters oncoming traffic, usually due to driver errors such as fatigue or distraction.

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, large truck crashes resulted in approximately 4,119 fatalities in 2019, with 67% of those fatalities happening in accidents involving tractor-trailers. Rear-end collisions were the most common type of fatal crash involving large trucks, accounting for 29% of all fatal crashes. Rollover accidents were the second most common type, accounting for 17% of all fatal crashes.

III. Causes of Semi-Truck Accidents

Semi-truck accidents can occur due to various factors that lead to a combination of perplexity and burstiness, resulting in catastrophic consequences. The causes of these accidents are multifaceted, and some of the most common ones are highlighted below:

1. Driver error:

Driver error is a prime contributor to semi-truck accidents and can arise due to several reasons such as fatigue, distraction, impaired driving, speeding, and following too closely. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, driver error was found to be a crucial element in almost 87% of all large truck crashes. The frequency of such errors highlights the need for strict measures to ensure safe driving by truck drivers.

2. Mechanical failure:

Mechanical failures such as brake failure, tire blowouts, or steering malfunctions, can lead to dire consequences for semi-trucks on the road. A study by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance revealed that over 20% of all commercial trucks inspected had brake-related violations. The presence of such technical failures and violations can increase the likelihood of accidents.

3. Poor weather and road conditions:

Inclement weather and challenging road conditions, such as rain, snow, ice, and fog, can create an intricate situations for drivers, increasing the probability of accidents. In fact, the Federal Highway Administration reports that weather-related crashes account for 22% of all vehicle crashes, indicating the need for drivers to adapt to these conditions and take precautions.

4. Improper loading or securing of cargo:

Improper loading or securing of cargo can lead to semi-trucks becoming unbalanced, tipping over, and resulting in accidents. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration mandates that all commercial trucks follow specific guidelines for loading and securing cargo to avoid such mishaps.

5. Negligence or misconduct by the trucking company:

Negligence or misconduct by the trucking company can also contribute to semi-truck accidents. Examples include failing to maintain vehicles correctly or hiring unqualified drivers. A study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that 10% of large truck crashes were due to vehicle-related factors, such as poor maintenance or defective parts. Such negligence or misconduct underscores the importance of robust oversight and regulation of trucking companies.

In 2019, there were about 450,000 police-reported crashes involving large trucks, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Of these accidents, 4,415 were fatal, and 107,000 resulted in injuries. Driver-related factors such as fatigue and distraction were the primary causes of these crashes, accounting for 34% of all crashes. These statistics highlight the need for a concerted effort to prevent accidents and promote safety on the road.

IV. Liability and Damages in Semi-Truck Accidents

Liability and damages in semi-truck accidents are complex issues that require the assistance of an experienced truck accident lawyer. The following are some important considerations in determining liability and damages in semi-truck accidents:

1. Determining liability in semi-truck accidents:

Determining liability in a semi-truck accident involves identifying the parties responsible for the accident, which may include the truck driver, trucking company, and other parties. Liability can be based on factors such as driver error, mechanical failure, improper loading or securing of cargo, and negligence or misconduct by the trucking company. An experienced truck accident lawyer can investigate the accident, gather evidence, and help determine liability.

2. Types of damages available to victims:

Victims of semi-truck accidents may be entitled to various types of damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. In cases of catastrophic injury or wrongful death, the damages can be significant. An experienced truck accident lawyer can help victims pursue the maximum compensation for their damages.

3. Statute of limitations for filing a claim:

It is important to note that there is a statute of limitations for filing a claim in a semi-truck accident case. This is the time limit within which a victim must file a lawsuit. The specific time limit varies by state and type of claim, but it is typically two to three years from the date of the accident. An experienced truck accident lawyer can help ensure that the claim is filed within the appropriate time frame.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the average cost of a fatal semi-truck accident is $3.6 million. In addition, the average cost of a non-fatal injury semi-truck accident is over $200,000. These costs can include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and other damages. Victims of semi-truck accidents should seek the help of an experienced truck accident lawyer to ensure they receive the compensation they deserve. Read more.
