High-Risk Medication Use by Nursing Home Residents Before and After Hospitalization
BACKGROUND: Two prominent challenges in nursing home care are ensuring appropriate medication use and achieving high-quality care as residents transition from the hospital to the nursing home. Research about prescribing practices at this important clinical juncture is limited. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the use of high-risk medications by nursing home residents before and after being hospitalized. We define high-risk medications using the Beers criter…
Medicare Part D Plan Generosity and Medication Use Among Dual-eligible Nursing Home Residents
BACKGROUND: In 2006, dual-eligible nursing home residents were randomly assigned to a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan (PDP). Subsequently, residents not enrolled in qualified plans at the start of the next year were rerandomized. PDPs vary in generosity through differences in medication coverage and utilization management. Therefore, residents' assigned plans may be relatively more or less generous for their particular drugs. The impact of…
Inside the Health Disparities Collaboratives
BACKGROUND: Quality improvement collaboratives (QICs) based on the Chronic Care Model (CCM) are widely used models for improving medical care, but there has been little information to date about the specific projects undertaken by participants in these collaboratives and their outcomes. OBJECTIVES: To describe initiatives undertaken by community health centers (CHCs) participating in QICs (the Health Disparities Collaboratives) for asthma, cardio…
Derivation and Confirmation of Scales Measuring Medical Directors’ Attitudes About the Hospitalization of Nursing Home Residents
Objectives: To derive and confirm scales measuring medical director’s attitudes about hospitalization of nursing home residents. Method: The authors surveyed nursing facility medical directors about the necessity of hospitalizing residents for eight clinical conditions and compared the ratings to those obtained from an expert panel to derive a relative hospitalization score. They also asked about factors that might influence hospitalization decis…
