Abstract In the UK, ophthalmology appointment delays are a longstanding issue, with serious implications for population health, and were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to these pressures, a major eye hospital organisation established a community-based clinic providing testing for stable glaucoma and medical retina patients in a London shopping centre. This clinic reduced appointment delays significantly.

Abstract Prioritizing artificial intelligence (AI)-detected imaging findings may reduce the time to diagnosis of lung cancer. This prospective, multicentre, randomized controlled trial tested whether immediate AI prioritization of primary care-requested chest X-rays (CXR) influenced time to computed tomography (CT) and lung cancer diagnosis, the primary outcomes.

Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders proposed a single-payer system to replace all current health coverage. His system would cover all medically necessary care, including long-term care, without cost-sharing. We estimate that the approach would decrease the uninsured by 28.3 million people in 2017. National health expenditures would increase by $6.6 trillion between 2017 and 2026, while federal expenditures would increase by $32.0 trillion over that period.
