  • Medicaid Value-Based Payments and Health Care Use for Patients With Mental Illness

    Open AccessAdam Gary Lewis, Ashley Lewis et al.ARTICLEJAMA Health Forum2023

    In this cohort study, Medicaid value-based payment reform was statistically significantly associated with an increase in behavioral health visits and a reduction in mental health emergency department visits for patients with mental illness. Medicaid value-based payment may be effective at altering health care utilization in patients with mental illness

  • Discharge Communication

    Shreya Trivedi, Shreya P Trivedi et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2021

    PURPOSE: To characterize residents' practices around hospital discharge communication and their exposure to transitions-of-care instruction in graduate medical education (GME). METHOD: In 2019, internal medicine residents at 7 academic medical centers completed a cross-sectional survey reporting the types of transitions-of-care instruction they experienced during GME training and the frequency with which they performed 6 key discharge communicati…

  • Assessment of Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Hospitalization and Mortality in Patients With Covid-19 in New York City

    Open AccessGbenga Ogedegbe, Joseph Ravenell et al.ARTICLEJAMA Network Open2020

    Importance: Black and Hispanic populations have higher rates of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) hospitalization and mortality than White populations but lower in-hospital case-fatality rates. The extent to which neighborhood characteristics and comorbidity explain these disparities is unclear. Outcomes in Asian American populations have not been explored. Objective: To compare COVID-19 outcomes based on race and ethnicity and assess the assoc…

  • Virtual Primary Care—Is Its Expansion Due to Covid-19 All Upside

    Open AccessHolly Krelle, John A Dodson et al.ARTICLEJAMA Health Forum2020

    Virtual primary care has long been promoted as the future of health care in the US. Despite this promise, progress until recently had been slow, in part because of limited reimbursement, restrictions on where telehealth could be delivered, interstate care prohibitions, discomfort with technology, privacy concerns, and limited public enthusiasm

  • Changes in Hospital Referral Patterns to Skilled Nursing Facilities Under the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program

    K Lucy Kim, Li Li et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2019Referencias: 14

    BACKGROUND: The Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) penalizes hospitals for higher-than-expected readmission rates. Almost 20% of Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) patients receive postacute care in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) after hospitalization. SNF patients have high readmission rates. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate the association between changes in hospital referral patterns to SNFs and HRRP penalty…

  • Hospital Characteristics Associated With Postdischarge Hospital Readmission, Observation, and Emergency Department Utilization

    Leora I Horwitz, Yongfei Wang et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2018Referencias: 23

    BACKGROUND: Whether types of hospitals with high readmission rates also have high overall postdischarge acute care utilization (including emergency department and observation care) is unknown. DESIGN: Cross-sectional analysis. SUBJECTS: Nonfederal United States acute care hospitals. MEASURES: Using methodology established by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, we calculated each hospital's "excess days in acute care" for fee-for-service…

  • Hospital Characteristics Associated With Risk-standardized Readmission Rates

    Leora I Horwitz, Susannah M Bernheim et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2017Referencias: 27

    BACKGROUND: Safety-net and teaching hospitals are somewhat more likely to be penalized for excess readmissions, but the association of other hospital characteristics with readmission rates is uncertain and may have relevance for hospital-centered interventions. OBJECTIVE: To examine the independent association of 8 hospital characteristics with hospital-wide 30-day risk-standardized readmission rate (RSRR). DESIGN: This is a retrospective cross-s…

  • Identifying Patients at Increased Risk for Unplanned Readmission

    Elizabeth H Bradley, Olga Yakusheva et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2013Referencias: 2

    BACKGROUND: Reducing readmissions is a national priority, but many hospitals lack practical tools to identify patients at increased risk of unplanned readmission. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the association between a composite measure of patient condition at discharge, the Rothman Index (RI), and unplanned readmission within 30 days of discharge. SUBJECTS: Adult medical and surgical patients in a major teaching hospital in 2011. MEASURES: The RI is a …

  • Failure to Rescue

    Leora I Horwitz, Joanne Cuny et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2007Referencias: 17

    BACKGROUND: Failure to rescue (FTR), the rate of death in patients suffering 1 of 6 in-hospital complications, is an Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Patient Safety Indicator calculated from administrative data. OBJECTIVE: : We sought to assess the accuracy of the AHRQ FTR algorithm. METHODS: We undertook a retrospective chart review of 60 denominator cases of FTR identified by the algorithm at each of 40 University HealthSystem …
