Health equity in Covid-19 testing among patients of a large national pharmacy chain
Background: Several social determinants of health and other structural factors drive racial and ethnic disparities in COVID-19 risk, morbidity, and mortality. Public-private collaborations with community pharmacies have been successful in expanding access to COVID-19 testing and reaching historically underserved communities. The objectives of this study were to describe individuals who sought testing for COVID-19 at a national community pharmacy …
Racial and ethnic disparities in Covid-19 booster vaccination among U.S. older adults differ by geographic region and Medicare enrollment
Introduction: COVID-19 booster vaccines are highly effective at reducing severe illness and death from COVID-19. Research is needed to identify whether racial and ethnic disparities observed for the primary series of the COVID-19 vaccines persist for booster vaccinations and how those disparities may vary by other characteristics. We aimed to measure racial and ethnic differences in booster vaccine receipt among U.S. Medicare beneficiaries and ch…
Impact of higher payments for rural home health episodes on rehospitalizations
PURPOSE: Home health agencies delivering care in rural counties face unique challenges when providing care to older adults; long travel times between each visit can limit the number of patients seen each day. In 2010, Medicare began paying home health (HH) providers 3% more to serve rural beneficiaries without evaluating the policy's impact on patient outcomes. METHODS: Using 100% Medicare data on postacute HH episodes from 2007 to 2014, we estim…
Association of Hospice Payer With Concurrent Receipt of Hospice and Dialysis Among US Veterans With End-stage Kidney Disease: A Retrospective Analysis of a National Cohort
In this retrospective cross-sectional study of US veterans with ESKD, a substantially higher proportion of veterans in VA-financed hospice received 1 or more dialysis treatments after hospice initiation than those enrolled in Medicare-financed hospice. Regardless of hospice payer, the VA financed most concurrent dialysis treatments. Hospice users who received concurrent dialysis care had substantially longer hospice lengths of stay than those who…

Association of Medicare Advantage Star Ratings With Racial, Ethnic, and Socioeconomic Disparities in Quality of Care
In this cross-sectional study, simulated MA star ratings were only weakly correlated with those for enrollees of low SES in the same contract, and contracts with higher star ratings had larger disparities in quality. Measures of equity in MA plans' quality of care may be needed
Racial/Ethnic Differences in 30-Day Mortality for Heart Failure and Pneumonia in the Veterans Health Administration Using Claims-based, Clinical, and Social Risk-adjustment Variables
BACKGROUND: Prior studies have identified lower mortality in Black Veterans compared with White Veterans after hospitalization for common medical conditions, but these studies adjusted for comorbid conditions identified in administrative claims. OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were to compare mortality for non-Hispanic White (hereafter, "White"), non-Hispanic Black (hereafter, "Black"), and Hispanic Veterans hospitalized for heart failur…
Preferred Provider Relationships Between Medicare Advantage Plans and Skilled Nursing Facilities Reduce Switching Out of Plans: An Observational Analysis
Unlike traditional Medicare, Medicare Advantage (MA) plans contract with specific skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). Patients treated in an MA plan's preferred SNF may benefit from enhanced coordination and have a lower likelihood of switching out of their plan. Using 2011-2014 Medicare enrollment data, the Medicare Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set, and the Minimum Data Set, we examined Medicare enrollees who were newly admitted …
A Methodology to Identify a Cohort of Medicare Beneficiaries Residing in Large Assisted Living Facilities Using Administrative Data
BACKGROUND: Assisted living is a popular option for housing and long-term care. OBJECTIVE: To develop and test a methodology to identify Medicare beneficiaries residing in assisted living facilities (ALFs). RESEARCH DESIGN: We compiled a finder file of 9-digit ZIP codes representing large ALFs (25+ beds) by matching Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) assessments and Medicare Part B Claims to the Medicare enrollment records and address…
Constructing a Measure of Private-pay Nursing Home Days
BACKGROUND: Nursing home (NH) care is financed through multiple sources. Although Medicaid is the predominant payer for NH care, over 20% of residents pay out-of-pocket for their care. Despite this large percentage, an accepted measure of private-pay NH occupancy has not been established and little is known about the types of facilities and the long-term care markets that cater to this population. OBJECTIVES: To describe 2 novel measures of priva…
Untapped Potential: Using the HRS-Medicare–Linked Files to Study the Changing Nursing Home Population

OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the potential of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) linked to administrative data to study this group. RESEARCH DESIGN: Descriptive retrospective panel study. SUBJECTS: HRS respondents between 2002 and 2010 linked to administrative data from the Centers for Medicare a…
Disparities in the Prevalence of Unmet Needs and Their Consequences Among Black and White Older Adults
This work highlights the complex relationship between race, need, unmet need, mortality, and nursing home entry
The Minimum Data Set 3.0 Cognitive Function Scale
BACKGROUND: The Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 introduced the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS), a short performance-based cognitive screener for nursing home (NH) residents. Not all residents are able to complete the BIMS and are consequently assessed by staff. We designed a Cognitive Function Scale (CFS) integrating self-report and staff-report data and present evidence of the scale's construct validity. DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study.…
Disparities in Discontinuing Rosiglitazone Following the 2007 FDA Safety Alert

OBJECTIVE: To compare time to discontinuation of rosiglitazone after the safety alert between black and white elderly persons, and across sociodemographic and economic subgroups. RESEARCH DESIGN: A cohort study. SUBJECTS: Medicare fee-for-service enrollees in…
The Adverse Consequences of Unmet Need Among Older Persons Living in the Community: Dual-Eligible Versus Medicare-Only Beneficiaries
Several care models are emerging with the goal of integrating medical care, behavioral health, and long-term services for the dual eligible population. Indicators of adverse consequences of unmet need could be used to monitor the quality and adequacy of such care systems
Behavioral Adaptation and Late-Life Disability: A New Spectrum for Assessing Public Health Impacts
Objectives. To inform public health efforts to promote independent functioning among older adults, we have provided new national estimates of late-life disability that explicitly recognize behavioral adaptations. Methods. We analyzed the 2011 National Health and Aging Trends Study, a study of Medicare enrollees aged 65 years and older (n = 8077). For 7 mobility and self-care activities we identified 5 hierarchical stages—fully able, successful ac…
Local Medicaid Home- and Community-Based Services Spending and Nursing Home Admissions of Younger Adults
We used fixed-effect models to examine the relationship between local spending on home- and community-based services (HCBSs) for cash-assisted Medicaid-only disabled (CAMOD) adults and younger adult admissions to nursing homes in the United States during 2001 through 2008, with control for facility and market characteristics and secular trends. We found that increased CAMOD Medicaid HCBS spending at the local level is associated with decreased ad…
Influenza and Seasonal Patterns of Hospital Use by Older Adults in Long-Term Care and Community Settings in Ontario, Canada
Objectives. We compared seasonal influenza hospital use among older adults in long-term care (LTC) and community settings. Methods. We used provincial administrative data from Ontario to identify all emergency department (ED) visits and hospital admissions for pneumonia and influenza among adults older than 65 years between 2002 and 2008. We used sentinel laboratory reports to define influenza and summer seasons and estimated mean annual event ra…
The Origin and Disposition of Medicare Observation Stays
BACKGROUND: Growing use of hospital observation care continues unabated despite growing concerns from Medicare beneficiaries, patient advocacy groups, providers, and policy makers. Unlike inpatient stays, outpatient observation stays are subject to 20% coinsurance and do not count toward the 3-day stay required for Medicare coverage of skilled nursing facility (SNF) care. Despite the policy relevance, we know little about where patients originate…
Trends in Observation Care Among Medicare Fee‐for‐Service Beneficiaries at Critical Access Hospitals, 2007‐2009
PURPOSE: Observation care is used to evaluate patients prior to admission or discharge. Often beneficial, such care also imposes greater financial liability on Medicare beneficiaries. While the use of observation care has increased recently, critical access hospitals (CAHs) face different policies than prospective payment (PPS) hospitals, which may influence their observation care use. METHODS: We used 100% Medicare inpatient and outpatient claim…
National Newspaper Portrayal of Nursing Homes: Tone of Coverage and Its Correlates
OBJECTIVES: The mass media can exert considerable influence over the relative saliency of different public policy concerns. Because emotional resonance can have a strong impact on how the general public and policy makers perceive specific issues, the purpose of this study is to characterize the tone of nursing home coverage in the national media. METHODS: Keyword searches of LexisNexis were used to identify 1562 articles published in 4 national n…
China’s Rapidly Aging Population Creates Policy Challenges In Shaping A Viable Long-Term Care System
In China, formal long-term care services for the large aging population have increased to meet escalating demands as demographic shifts and socioeconomic changes have eroded traditional elder care. We analyze China's evolving long-term care landscape and trace major government policies and private-sector initiatives shaping it. Although home and community-based services remain spotty, institutional care is booming with little regulatory oversight…

Determinants of Site of Death Among Hospice Cancer Patients
Despite its social, cultural, and psychological salience, few empirical studies have examined the factors influencing site of death. Data describing cancer patients served by hospices participating in the National Hospice Study (NHS) were used to explore the relative importance of patients' sociodemographic, support-network, and physical-health characteristics, as well as health-system factors, in predicting whether patients die at home or in a m…
The Association of Self-Rated Health with Two-Year Mortality in a Sample of Well Elderly
The 1984-1986 Longitudinal Study of Aging (LSOA) was used to investigate self-assessed health as a predictor of 2-year mortality in a subsample of 1,252 persons aged 70 and over. The LSOA sample was screened to exclude individuals reporting a high-risk medical condition or difficulty in instrumental activities of daily living. Logistic regression showed independent predictive effects with higher mortality for age (older), sex (male), less favorab…

Organizing Aids Service Consortia: Lead Agency Identity and Consortium Cohesion
Developing consortia or coalitions of health and social service agencies is commonly advocated as a response to problems of service fragmentation or lack of coordination. In this article, we describe the structure and functioning of consortia established to promote coordinated systems of community-based care for people with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in nine communities across the United States. Consortia varied in the nature of t…
Effect of Educational Level and Minority Status on Nursing Home Choice After Hospital Discharge
Objectives. The movement to publicly report data on provider quality to inform consumer choices is predicated on assumptions of equal access and knowledge. We examine the validity of this assumption by testing whether minority/less educated Medicare patients are at greater risk of being discharged from a hospital to the lowest-quality nursing homes in a geographic area. Methods. We used the 2002 national Minimum Data Set to identify 62601 new Med…
