Using Medicare Data to Identify Individuals Who Are Electricity Dependent to Improve Disaster Preparedness and Response
During a disaster or prolonged power outage, individuals who use electricity-dependent medical equipment are often unable to operate it and seek care in acute care settings or local shelters. Public health officials often report that they do not have proactive and systematic ways to rapidly identify and assist these individuals. In June 2013, we piloted a first-in-the-nation emergency preparedness drill in which we used Medicare claims data to id…

Impact of the Fall 2009 Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 Pandemic on US Hospitals
BACKGROUND: Understanding how hospitals functioned during the 2009 influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 pandemic may improve future public health emergency response, but information about its impact on US hospitals remains largely unknown. RESEARCH DESIGN: We matched hospital and emergency department (ED) discharge data from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project with community-level influenza-like illness…
Faith-Based Organizations, Science, and the Pursuit of Health
Over the last three decades, there has been increasing interest in the role that faith-based organizations (FBOs) can play in promoting health and health care access among underserved populations. Although the research literature on church-based health interventions is growing, there are relatively few rigorous evaluations of their effectiveness in addressing health and health care outcomes. Establishing a national faith-based health research net…

Conceptualizing and Defining Public Health Emergency Preparedness
Since September 11, 2001, and the anthrax attacks that followed, a substantial federal investment—totaling well in excess of $5 billion—has been made to increase our nation’s ability to prepare for, and respond to, public health emergencies. Yet despite anecdotal reports suggesting that progress has been made, it is unclear whether these investments have left the nation better prepared to respond to a bioterrorist attack, pandemic influenza, or a…
Use of community-based mental health programs by HMOs
BACKGROUND. Proposals to enroll Medicaid beneficiaries in health maintenance organizations (HMOs) have raised concerns that community-based mental health treatment programs would be adversely affected. METHODS. In Hennepin County (Minnesota) 35% of Medicaid beneficiaries were randomly assigned to prepaid plans. Random samples of individuals with severe mental illness with selected from the prepaid enrollees and from beneficiaries remaining with t…

Teaching status and resource use for patients with acute myocardial infarction
To investigate whether the process of graduate medical education increases costs in teaching hospitals by causing longer lengths of stay and greater resource use, we compared lengths of stay, hospital charges, and the use of cardiovascular procedures for patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted to the teaching and nonteaching services of a university-affiliated community hospital. After adjusting for severity of illness and demographic …
Measuring Health Changes Among Severely III Patients
The interest in measuring health status with survey instruments has not been matched with an analysis of their performance characteristics in the field. We used the Medical Outcome Study Short Form (MOS-20) to assess health outcomes among patients who were hospitalized in one of two public hospitals. We mailed the MOS-20 and a series of transition questions, which asked about changes in health, to patients admitted in the previous year. We receiv…

VC. Financial Payment Systems and Asthma Care
This paper addresses how medical care financing issues may impact on the process and outcome of asthma care. Because asthma-specific data are scarce, an attempt has been made to extrapolate from an understanding of payment issues for chronic illness in general to the specific case of asthma. First, some broad features of the effect of payment systems on health care delivery are reviewed. How financing of care for the individual patient affects fi…
Urban and Rural Differences in Health Insurance and Access to Care
This study considers differences in access to health care and insurance characteristics between residents of urban and rural areas. Data were collected from a telephone survey of 10,310 randomly selected households in Minnesota. Sub‐samples of 400 group‐insured, individually insured, intermittently insured, and uninsured people, were asked about access to health care. Those with group or individual insurance were also asked about the costs and ch…
The Role of Black and Hispanic Physicians in Providing Health Care for Underserved Populations
BACKGROUND: Patients who are members of minority groups may be more likely than others to consult physicians of the same race or ethnic group, but little is known about the relation between patients' race or ethnic group and the supply of physicians or the likelihood that minority-group physicians will care for poor or black and Hispanic patients. METHODS: We analyzed data on physicians' practice locations and the racial and ethnic makeup and soc…
Physician Practice Style and Rates of Hospitalization for Chronic Medical Conditions
Hospitalization rates for chronic medical conditions vary across small areas and are associated inversely with community income. The authors studied whether variation in hospitalization rates can be attributed to differences in physician practice style. Using census and hospital discharge data, hospitalization rates were calculated for asthma, congestive heart failure, and diabetes in 40 medical service areas in California. The authors surveyed a…
Health Literacy
Health literacy, at the intersection of health and education, involves more than reading ability. Studies of health literacy abilities show that many Americans with the greatest health care needs have the least ability to comprehend information required to navigate and function in the U.S. health care system. This paper defines health literacy as an important policy issue and offers strategies for creating a health-literate America.
Assuring the Health of Immigrants
Over the past 20 years, the United States has experienced one of the largest waves of immigration in its history. Understanding the health status and needs of immigrants is important because of their growing numbers and their contribution to the health of the nation, but it is challenging because of gaps in national databases, the heterogeneity of immigrant populations, and uncertainty about how migration affects health. Healthy People 2010 outli…
