The Relationship between Medicare's Process of Care Quality Measures and Mortality
Using Medicare inpatient claims and Hospital Compare process of care quality data from the period 2004–2006, we estimate two model specifications to test for the presence of correlational and causal relationships between hospital process of care performance measures and risk-adjusted (RA) 30-day mortality for heart attack, heart failure, and pneumonia. Our analysis indicates that while Hospital Compare process performance measures are correlated …
An Examination of Factors in the Withdrawal of Managed Care Plans from the Medicare+Choice Program
Participation of health maintenance organizations (HMOs) in the Medicare+Choice program, expected to rise rapidly after passage of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, has gone in just the opposite direction.

This paper uses plan organizational characteristics, market position, and financ…
Short- and Intermediate-Term Trends Affecting Medicaid Policy for Persons with Disability, Chronic Illness, and Special Needs
Medicaid is a critically important program for accessing health and supportive services for persons with disabilities, chronic illness, and special needs.

The Lifetime Risks and Costs of Nursing Home Use Among the Elderly
In this paper, we estimate the risk of an individual of entering a nursing home throughout the aging process. We then estimate the expected lifetime costs of nursing home use both for an individual and for society as a whole. The model is based on double-decrement life-table analysis. Data are taken from a 1977 survey of 4,400 Medicare beneficiaries. At age 65, the upper bound for the lifetime risk of entering a nursing home is 43.1%. The risk of…
