Variability in comorbidites and health services use across homeless typologies
Differences in behavioral-health conditions and health-system use across homeless typologies highlight the particularly high burden among homeless who are disconnected from homeless services. Fragmented and high use of emergency departments for care should motivate health systems and payers to promote housing solutions, especially those that incorporate substance use and mental health treatment
Mental Health Screening Results Associated with Women Veterans' Ratings of Provider Communication, Trust, and Care Quality
What Causes Racial Health Care Disparities? A Mixed-Methods Study Reveals Variability in How Health Care Providers Perceive Causal Attributions
Progress to address health care equity requires health care providers' commitment, but their engagement may depend on their perceptions of the factors contributing to inequity. To understand providers' perceptions of causes of racial health care disparities, a short survey was delivered to health care providers who work at 3 Veterans Health Administration sites, followed by qualitative interviews (N = 53). Survey data indicated that providers att…
Communicating with providers about racial healthcare disparities
African American Veterans Storytelling
BACKGROUND: Disparities in hypertension control persist for African American Veterans. OBJECTIVE: To enhance cultural relevance of hypertension control self-management education, in a multisite, stratified randomized trial, we tested an interactive Veteran-to-Veteran storytelling digital video disk (DVD) intervention created with Veteran partners, versus an education-only DVD comparison. METHODS: At 3 VA facilities, African American Veterans with…

Mortality After Cardiac Bypass Surgery
BACKGROUND: Risk-adjusted outcome rates frequently are used to make inferences about hospital quality of care. We calculated risk-adjusted mortality rates in veterans undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass surgery (CABS) from administrative data and from chart-based clinical data and compared the assessment of hospital high and low outlier status for mortality that results from these 2 data sources. STUDY POPULATION: We studied veterans who u…
Mortality After Noncardiac Surgery
BACKGROUND: Hospital profiles are increasingly constructed using risk-adjusted clinical data abstracted from patient records. OBJECTIVE: We sought to compare hospital profiles based on risk adjusted death within 30 days of surgery from administrative versus clinical data in a national cohort of surgical patients. DESIGN: This was a cohort study that included 78,546 major noncardiac operations performed between October 1, 1991 and December 31, 199…
Patient Participation in Medical Consultations
BACKGROUND: Patients vary in their willingness and ability to actively participate in medical consultations. Because more active patient participation contributes to improved health outcomes and quality of care, it is important to understand factors affecting the way patients communicate with healthcare providers. OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were to examine the extent to which patient participation in medical interactions is influenc…

Process of Care in Hispanic, Black, and White VA Beneficiaries
OBJECTIVE: To examine whether process of hospital care differs among Hispanic, black, and white VA beneficiaries. SUBJECTS: Two thousand eight-hundred fifty-two Hispanic, black, and white male VA beneficiaries from a case-control study discharged alive from one of twelve southern veterans hospitals with one of three diagnoses, diabetes mellitus (DM), congestive heart failure (CHF), or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS: We appl…
Effect of Definition of Mortality on Hospital Profiles
BACKGROUND: Hospitals are ranked based on risk-adjusted measures of postoperative mortality, but definitions differ about which deaths following surgery should be included. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether varying the case definition of deaths following surgery that are included in coronary artery bypass surgery quality assessment affects the identification of outlier hospitals. RESEARCH DESIGN: The study used a prospective cohort design. SUBJECTS…

Variations in Risk-Adjusted Cesarean Delivery Rates According to Race and Health Insurance
OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between race and insurance and Cesarean delivery rates after adjusting for clinical risk factors that increase the likelihood of cesarean delivery. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study in 21 hospitals in northeast Ohio. SUBJECTS: 25,697 women without prior cesarean deliveries admitted for labor and delivery January 1993 through June 1995. METHODS: Demographic and clinical data were abstracted from patients' medi…
The Relationship of Gender and In-Hospital Death
OBJECTIVES: The prognostic importance of gender in hospitalized patients has been poorly studied. The current study compared in-hospital death rates between men and women after adjusting for severity of illness. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. PATIENTS: 89,793 eligible patients with 6 common nonsurgical diagnoses who were discharged from 30 hospitals in Northeast Ohio in 1991 to 1993. METHODS: Admission severity of illness (ie, predicted risk…
Impact of Interhospital Transfers on Outcomes in an Academic Medical Center
The purpose of this article is to determine whether a widely implement ed method of severity adjustment underestimated the risk of death and other outcomes among interhospital transfers (ie, patients transferred from other acute care hospitals) and to examine the impact of this potential bias on hospital outcomes profiles. The retrospective cohort study was conducted at a midwestern academic medical center with 40,820 adult medical and surgical p…

The Economic Theory of a Common-Property Resource
The chief aim of this paper is to examine the economic theory of natural resource utilization as it pertains to the fishing industry. It will appear, I hope, that most of the problems associated with the words "conservation" or "depletion" or "overexploitation" in the fishery are, in reality, manifestations of the fact that the natural resources of the sea yield no economic rent. Fishery resources are unusual in the fact of their common-property …
