  • Barriers to Managing Coronary Artery Disease Among Older Women

    Shirley Musich, Ronald J Ozminkowski et al.ARTICLEJournal of Women & Aging2014

    Numerous barriers to managing coronary artery disease (CAD) among older women are reported in the literature; however, few studies adjust for demographic and health status differences. A survey assessing barriers and other factors was distributed to a stratified random sampling of older women with CAD. Factor analysis and multiple logistic regression procedures were used to estimate the impact of these issues on receiving a CAD-related office vis…

  • How Accurate are Self-Reports? Analysis of Self-Reported Health Care Utilization and Absence When Compared With Administrative Data

    Meghan E Short, Ron Z Goetzel et al.ARTICLEJournal of Occupational &…2009

    OBJECTIVE: To determine the accuracy of self-reported health care utilization and absence reported on health risk assessments against administrative claims and human resource records. METHODS: Self-reported values of health care utilization and absenteeism were analyzed for concordance to administrative claims values. Percent agreement, Pearson's correlations, and multivariate logistic regression models examined the level of agreement and charact…

  • The Health and Cost Benefits of Work Site Health-Promotion Programs

    Ron Z Goetzel, Ronald J OzminkowskiARTICLEAnnual Review of Public Health2008

    We review the state of the art in work site health promotion (WHP), focusing on factors that influence the health and productivity of workers. We begin by defining WHP, then review the literature that addresses the business rationale for it, as well as the objections and barriers that may prevent sufficient investment in WHP. Despite methodological limitations in many available studies, the results in the literature suggest that, when properly de…

  • Health, Absence, Disability, and Presenteeism Cost Estimates of Certain Physical and Mental Health Conditions Affecting U.S. Employers

    Ron Z Goetzel, Stacey R Long et al.ARTICLEJournal of Occupational &…2004

    Evidence about the total cost of health, absence, short-term disability, and productivity losses was synthesized for 10 health conditions. Cost estimates from a large medical/absence database were combined with findings from several published productivity surveys. Ranges of condition prevalence and associated absenteeism and presenteeism (on-the-job-productivity) losses were used to estimate condition-related costs. Based on average impairment an…

  • What If Socioeconomics Made No Difference

    Ronald J Ozminkowski, Alan White et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1998Referencias: 7

    OBJECTIVES: Several studies have noted the impact of socioeconomic factors on access to expensive medical care, but none of those studies controlled for self-reported health and functional status or attitudes about treatment alternatives when analyses were completed. Because these factors may be correlated with socioeconomic status, the failure to control for them may have led to bias in other studies. The authors merged data from secondary sourc…

  • The Influence of the New York Quality Assurance System on Casemix in Nursing Homes

    Open AccessRonald J Ozminkowski, Margot Cella et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health1994Referencias: 2

    The New York Quality Assurance System (NYQAS) was designed to assure high-quality nursing home care in New York. Among its many incentives, NYQAS may change the likelihood that elderly with heavy-care needs will be admitted to nursing homes. This article addresses that hypothesis. Data for descriptive and multivariate analyses come from the RUGs-II Patient Review Instrument and the Medicare and Medicaid Automated Certification System files for 19…

  • Access to Heart and Liver Transplantation in the Late 1980s

    Ronald J Ozminkowski, Bernard Friedman et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1993

    Because of a shortage of usable organs, many who require heart or liver transplants for survival will not have access to them. Access to care may reflect demographic factors and ability to pay, as well as medical considerations. Receipt of an organ may be influenced by expected survival with and without a transplant, age, gender, race, ability to pay, and distance to a transplant center. Discharge abstract data from a national sample of over 500 …

  • Volume-Outcome Relationships and Inhospital Mortality

    Dean E Farley, Ronald J OzminkowskiARTICLEMedical Care1992

    This study examines whether patient outcomes are affected by changes in volume over time within hospitals and whether such effects are consistent with cross-sectional results previously reported in the literature. Investigating the existence of volume-outcome relationships longitudinally for specific groups of patients relates directly to the policy issue of whether, and how, specific inpatient services should be regionalized. The analysis uses u…
