Quality of Buprenorphine Care for Insured Adults With Opioid Use Disorder
AIM: The aim of this study was to characterize quality of buprenorphine care for opioid use disorder (OUD) by quantifying buprenorphine initiation, engagement, and maintenance for individuals in a large, diverse, real-world cohort in the United States. DESIGN: This was a retrospective cohort analysis. SETTING: OUD treatment in the outpatient setting. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 45,210 commercially insured and Medicare Advantage (MA) enrollees 18 yea…
Association of Magnet Status and Nurse Staffing With Improvements in Patient Experience With Hospital Care, 2008–2015
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the longitudinal association of hospital Magnet status (an indicator of nursing excellence) and nurse-staffing level with inpatient care experience. OBJECTIVES: To examine temporal trends in hospital performance on patient experience measured using the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey and the association of these trends with Magnet status and nurse-staffing level. R…
Validity of the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality Patient Safety Indicators and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Hospital-acquired Conditions
BACKGROUND: The Agency for Health Care Research and Quality Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs) and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Hospital-acquired Conditions (HACs) are increasingly being used for pay-for-performance and public reporting despite concerns over their validity. Given the potential for these measures to misinform patients, misclassify hospitals, and misapply financial and reputational harm to hospitals, these need to be ri…
Key concepts relevant to quality of complex and shared decision-making in health care
Needs assessments can identify scores on HRQOL questionnaires that represent problems for patients
Using More End-of-Life Homecare Services is Associated With Using Fewer Acute Care Services
BACKGROUND: Healthcare systems are investing in end-of-life homecare to reduce acute care use. However, little evidence exists on the timing and amount of homecare services necessary to reduce acute care utilization. OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether admission time to homecare and the amount of services, as measured by average nursing and personal support and homemaking (PSH) hours/week (h/wk), are associated with using acute care services at en…

Patient Characteristics and End-of-Life Health Care Utilization Among Medicare Beneficiaries in 1989 and 1999
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association of institutional residence and chronic disability with end-of-life Medicare utilization in 1989 and 1999. RESEARCH DESIGN: Retrospective study of nationally representative survey data linked to Medicare claims. SUBJECTS: Medicare beneficiaries who completed the National Long-Term Care Survey in 1989 or 1999 and died within 1 year. MEASURES: Medicare utilization [hospital, hospice, and skilled nursing facilit…
Using Propensity Scores Subclassification to Estimate Effects of Longitudinal Treatments
BACKGROUND: When using observational data to compare the effectiveness of medications, it is essential to account parsimoniously for patients' longitudinal characteristics that lead to changes in treatments over time. OBJECTIVES: We developed a method of estimating effects of longitudinal treatments that uses subclassification on a longitudinal propensity score to compare outcomes between a new drug (exenatide) and established drugs (insulin and …
Why do patients and families request transfers to tertiary care? a qualitative study
Are Critical Pathways Effective for Reducing Postoperative Length of Stay
BACKGROUND: Many hospitals use critical pathways to attempt to reduce postoperative length of stay (PLOS) for diverse conditions and procedures. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether critical pathways were associated with reductions in postoperative PLOS after accounting for prepathway trends in PLOS. RESEARCH DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study, from 1988 to 1998. SETTING: Academic medical center department of surgery. SUBJECTS: A total of 10,960 admiss…
