Associations of Hospice Disenrollment and Hospitalization With Continuous Home Care Provision
OBJECTIVES: To examine rates of hospice disenrollment and posthospice hospitalization among patients who are enrolled in hospices that provide continuous home care (CHC) (CHC hospices) compared with patients who are enrolled in hospices that do not offer CHC (non-CHC hospices). METHODS: We performed a retrospective cohort study among Medicare fee-for-service decedents between July and December 2011, who were 66 years and older and had used hospic…
What Works in Readmissions Reduction
BACKGROUND: Hospitals across the United States are pursuing strategies to reduce avoidable readmissions but the evidence on how best to accomplish this goal is mixed, with no specific clinical practice shown to reduce readmissions consistently. Changes to hospital organizational practices, a key component of context, also may be critical to improving performance on readmissions, but this has not been studied. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was …
The Impact of Reported Hospice Preferred Practices on Hospital Utilization at the End of Life
BACKGROUND: The Affordable Care Act requires hospices to report quality measures across a range of processes and practices. Yet uncertainties exist regarding the impact of hospice preferred practices on patient outcomes. OBJECTIVE: Assess the impact of 6 hospice preferred practices and hospice organizational characteristics on hospital utilization and death using the first national data on hospice preferred practices. DESIGN: Longitudinal cohort …
End-of-Life Care Intensity and Hospice Use
OBJECTIVES: Despite increased hospice use over the last decade, end-of-life care intensity continues to increase. To understand this puzzle, we sought to examine regional variation in intensive end-of-life care and determine its associations with hospice use patterns. METHODS: Using Medicare claims for decedents aged 66 years and above in 2011, we assessed end-of-life care intensity in the last 6 months of life across hospital referral regions (H…
Has Hospice Use Changed? 2000–2010 Utilization Patterns
BACKGROUND: Hospice use has increased substantially during the past decade by an increasingly diverse patient population; however, little is known about patterns of hospice use and how these patterns have changed during the past decade. OBJECTIVE: To characterize Medicare hospice users in 2000 and 2010 and estimate the prevalence of (1) very short (≤1 wk) hospice enrollment; (2) very long (>6 mo) hospice enrollment; and (3) hospice disenrollment …
Community perspectives on roles and responsibilities for strengthening primary health care in rural Ethiopia
Government-community partnerships are central to developing effective, sustainable models of primary health care in low-income countries; however, evidence about the nature of partnerships lacks the perspective of community members. Our objective was to characterise community perspectives regarding the respective roles and responsibilities of government and the community in efforts to strengthen primary health care in low-income settings. We cond…
Educating leaders in hospital management
Despite recent focus on health systems strengthening, few studies report large-scale efforts to improve hospital management capacity in low-income countries, a central component of improving health care delivery. We sought to assess the contributions of a systems-based approach, the Ethiopian Hospital Management Initiative (EHMI), which established hospital chief executive officers (CEOs) trained through a Masters of Healthcare and Hospital Admin…
Quality of Palliative Care at US Hospices
BACKGROUND: The National Quality Forum (NQF) identified hospice services as a national priority area for health care quality improvement and endorsed a set of preferred practices for quality palliative and hospice care. This study reports the first national data regarding hospices' self-reported implementation of the NQF preferred practices and identifies hospice characteristics associated with more comprehensive implementation. METHODS: We condu…
