User-centered process evaluations of web-based diet and exercise interventions for middle-aged and older adults living with chronic disease
High Medicaid Nursing Homes
High Medicaid nursing homes (85% and higher of Medicaid residents) operate in resource-constrained environments. High Medicaid nursing homes (on average) have lower quality and poorer financial performance. However, there is significant variation in performance among high Medicaid nursing homes. The purpose of this study is to examine the organizational and market factors that may be associated with better financial performance among high Medicai…
The perceived importance of intersectoral collaboration by health care alliances
There is growing interest in the use of intersectoral collaboration (e.g., alliances, coalitions, partnerships) to address complex, health‐related issues in local communities. Relatively little empirical research, however, has examined how to foster and sustain collaboration across sectors during later stages of development, despite a recognition that the needs and goals for collaboration may change over time. The purpose of this study was to add…
Impact of emergency department visit on disease self-management in adults with depression
Unexpected health-endangering events that lead to an emergency department visit may be perceived as "wake-up calls" and induce significant changes in health-related behavior ("health shock" effect). This study uses two waves of a survey of 826 adults with depression and finds that having an emergency department visit(s) increased medication adherence by 7.6 percentage points ( p < 0.05) relative to non-emergency department visitors but had no sig…
Interorganizational Relationship Trends of Critical Access Hospitals
PURPOSE: Examine the types of interorganizational relationships (IORs)--defined as formal linkages between 2 or more organizations to produce or coordinate some good or service--pursued by Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs), how these relationship patterns have changed over time, and how these relationships compare to non-CAHs. METHODS: We used univariate analyses to describe the prevalence of different types of formal horizontal (eg, system affili…
Governance Processes and Change Within Organizational Participants of Multi‐sectoral Community Health Care Alliances
Multi‐sectoral community health care alliances are organizations that bring together individuals and organizations from different industry sectors to work collaboratively on improving the health and health care in local communities. Long‐term success and sustainability of alliances are dependent on their ability to galvanize participants to take action within their ‘home’ organizations and institutionalize the vision, goals, and programs within p…
The Science of Quality Improvement Implementation
BACKGROUND: Quality improvement (QI) holds promise to improve quality of care; however, organizations often struggle with its implementation. It has been recommended that practitioners, managers, and researchers attempt to increase systematic understanding of the structure, practices, and context of organizations that facilitate or impede the implementation of QI innovations. OBJECTIVES: To critically review the empirical research on QI implement…
How Do System-Affiliated Hospitals Fare in Providing Community Benefit
The shift from local, community-based organizations to more complex delivery systems raises questions about the community orientation and accountability of health systems and their affiliates. This study examines whether hospitals affiliated with health care systems are more or less likely to engage in practices that reflect responsibility to their local communities by providing benefits in the form of uncompensated care, community engagement, Me…
