Alternative Approaches to Characterizing Disparate Care by Race, Ethnicity, and Insurance Between Hospitals
Identifying hospitals that disproportionately serve minority and publicly insured patients is important because patients at these hospitals often experience worse outcomes. Studies commonly identify disproportion by using the top decile of hospitals with the greatest proportion of Black discharges nationally. Our study aimed to identify a broader measure that accounts for disproportion by multiple characteristics. Using fee-for-service Medicare d…
Effects of a Rehabilitation-at-Home Program Compared to Post-acute Skilled Nursing Facility Care on Safety, Readmission, and Community Dwelling Status
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Rehabilitation-at-Home (RaH), which provides high-frequency, multidisciplinary post-acute rehabilitative services in patients' homes. DESIGN: Comparative effectiveness analysis. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Medicare Fee-For-Service patients who received RaH in a Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation Center Demonstration during 2016-2017 (N=173) or who received Medicare Skilled Nursing Fac…
Screening for Depression in Adults
DESCRIPTION: Update of the 2009 US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendation on screening for depression in adults. METHODS: The USPSTF reviewed the evidence on the benefits and harms of screening for depression in adult populations, including older adults and pregnant and postpartum women; the accuracy of depression screening instruments; and the benefits and harms of depression treatment in these populations. POPULATION: This recom…
Screening for Colorectal Cancer
IMPORTANCE: Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. In 2016, an estimated 134,000 persons will be diagnosed with the disease, and about 49,000 will die from it. Colorectal cancer is most frequently diagnosed among adults aged 65 to 74 years; the median age at death from colorectal cancer is 68 years. OBJECTIVE: To update the 2008 US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendation on screening for…
Screening for Breast Cancer
DESCRIPTION: Update of the 2009 U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendation on screening for breast cancer. METHODS: The USPSTF reviewed the evidence on the following: effectiveness of breast cancer screening in reducing breast cancer-specific and all-cause mortality, as well as the incidence of advanced breast cancer and treatment-related morbidity; harms of breast cancer screening; test performance characteristics of digital bre…
Association of Chronic Diseases and Impairments With Disability in Older Adults
BACKGROUND: Little is known about how the relationship between chronic disease, impairment, and disability has changed over time among older adults. OBJECTIVE: To examine how the associations of chronic disease and impairment with specific disability have changed over time. RESEARCH DESIGN: Repeated cross-sectional analysis, followed by examining the collated sample using time interaction variables, of 3 recent waves of the Health and Retirement …
Development of and Recovery From Difficulty With Activities of Daily Living
Identifying factors associated with development of mild physical impairment could help direct patients toward preventive care programs to preempt decline in physical function
Dual Use of Veterans Affairs Services and Use of Recommended Ambulatory Care
BACKGROUND: Use of more than one health care system to obtain care is common among adults receiving care within the Veterans Affairs (VA) medical system. It is not known what effect using care from multiple sources has on the quality of care patients receive. OBJECTIVES: To examine whether use of recommended ambulatory care services differs between exclusive and dual VA users. METHODS: Cross-sectional analysis of the 2004 Behavior Risk Factor Sur…
Electronic Health Record Components and the Quality of Care
BACKGROUND: Electronic health records (EHRs) have been promoted as an important tool to improve quality of care. We examined the association between EHR components, a complete EHR, and the quality of care. METHODS: Using data from the 2005 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey and the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, we conducted a cross-sectional analysis of all visits with an established primary care provider and examined the…
Use of Preventive Care by Elderly Male Veterans Receiving Care Through the Veterans Health Administration, Medicare Fee-for-Service, and Medicare HMO Plans
Objectives. We compared use of preventive care among veterans receiving care through the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) plans, and Medicare health maintenance organizations (HMOs). Methods. Using both the Costs and Use, and Access to Care files of the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (2000–2003), we performed a cross-sectional analysis examining self-reported use of influenza vaccination, pneumococcal vacc…
Effect of Inpatient Quality of Care on Functional Outcomes in Patients With Hip Fracture
OBJECTIVES: We sought to examine the relationship between functional outcome and process of care for patients with hip fracture. RESEARCH DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS: We undertook a prospective cohort study in 4 hospitals of 554 patients treated with surgery for hip fracture. MEASUREMENTS: Information on patient characteristics and processes of hospital care collected from the medical record, interviews, and bedside observations. Follow-up informatio…
Hospital volume differences and five-year survival from breast cancer
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of hospital volume on long-term survival for women with breast cancer. METHODS: Survival analysis and proportional-hazard modeling were used to assess 5-year survival and risk of death, adjusting for clinical and sociodemographic variables. RESULTS: At 5 years, patients from very low-volume hospitals had a 60% greater risk of all-cause mortality than patients from high-volume hospi…
Assessment of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Performance in New York
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine whether performing coronary artery bypass surgery on high-risk patients adversely affects the risk-adjusted mortality rates for patients of surgeons and hospitals in New York State compared with the impact of performing surgery on more routine patients. METHODS: Risk-adjusted mortality-rates were calculated for 31 hospitals and 87 surgeons for high-risk (a predicted mortality rate of at least…
Variation and Quality of Self-Report Health Data
Variation in the sociodemographic, system, and disease characteristics of Asians and Pacific Islanders compared with other ethnic groups and the quality of standard self-report measures of health and functioning by ethnic groups were examined. Secondary analysis of self-report data from the Medical Outcomes Study, an observational study of adult outpatients who received care in either prepaid or fee-for-service plans, was used to compare 527 Asia…
Using multidimensional health measures in older persons to identify risk of hospitalization and skilled nursing placement
HMO vs fee-for-service care of older persons with acute myocardial infarction
OBJECTIVES. Health maintenance organizations (HMOs) continue to grow in number and in their enrollment of Medicare recipients. They are also increasingly viewed as organizational structures that might contribute to control of health care costs. Yet little is known about the quality of care that elderly HMO enrollees receive. METHODS. We compared patients from three HMOs to a fee-for-service (FFS) sample that was national in scope. Sickness at adm…
Patient, provider and hospital characteristics associated with inappropriate hospitalization
To determine the relation between patient and provider characteristics and inappropriate hospital use, we examined adult nonpregnancy hospitalizations from a randomized trial of health insurance conducted in six sites in the United States. Appropriateness of inpatient treatment was based on medical record review; patient characteristics on sociodemographic, economic, and health status; and provider characteristics on descriptors of physician prac…
