Clinical Coders' Perspectives on Pressure Injury Coding in Acute Care Services in Victoria, Australia
Pressure injuries (PIs) substantively impact quality of care during hospital stays, although only when they are severe or acquired as a result of the hospital stay are they reported as quality indicators. Globally, researchers have repeatedly highlighted the need to invest more in quality improvement, risk assessment, prevention, early detection, and care for PI to avoid the higher costs associated with treatment of PI. Coders' perspectives on qu…
Is the Systemic Agency Capacity of Long-Term Care Organizations Enabling Person-Centered Care during the Covid-19 Pandemic? A Repeated Cross-Sectional Study of Organizational Resilience
The COVID-19 pandemic has strained long-term care organization staff and placed new demands on them. This study examines the role of the general ability and power of a long-term care organization to act and react collectively as a social system, which is called systemic agency capacity, in safeguarding the provision of person-centered care during a crisis. The question of how the systemic agency capacity of long-term care organizations helps to e…
Do young people with neurological conditions in residential aged care use hospitals differently than those in the community? Evidence from Victorian hospital data, 2014–2017
This study describes the duration and reasons for hospitalisation for three cohorts of younger adults with neurological conditions who either used residential aged care (RAC) or lived in the community. Hospitalisations as a clinical event indicate conditions for which younger people in RAC may need support as they move into community-based housing. Data describing 3 years of hospitalisations in Victorian public hospitals and emergency departments…
Nursing Home Chain Affiliation and Its Impact on Specialty Service Designation for Alzheimer Disease
Specialty care units (SCUs) in nursing homes (NHs) grew in popularity during the 1990s to attract residents while national policies and treatment paradigms changed. Alzheimer disease has consistently been the dominant form of SCU. This study explored the extent to which chain affiliation, which is common among NHs, affected SCU bed designation. Using data from the Online Survey Certification and Reporting (OSCAR) from 1996 through 2010 with 207 4…
The Impact of Chain Standardization on Nursing Home Staffing
BACKGROUND: Standardization in production is common in multientity chain organizations. Although chains are prominent in the nursing home sector, standardization in care has not been studied. One way nursing home chains may standardize is by controlling the level and mix of staffing in member homes. OBJECTIVES: To examine the extent to which standardization occurred in staffing, its relative presence across different types of chains, and whether …
Do Nursing Home Chain Size and Proprietary Status Affect Experiences With Care
BACKGROUND: In 2012, over half of nursing homes were operated by corporate chains. Facilities owned by the largest for-profit chains were reported to have lower quality of care. However, it is unknown how nursing home chain ownerships are related with experiences of care. OBJECTIVES: To study the relationship between nursing home chain characteristics (chain size and profit status) with patients' family member reported ratings on experiences with…
Trends and Predictors of Quality of Care in VA Nursing Homes Related to Serious Mental Illness
OBJECTIVE: Within Veterans Affairs (VA) nursing homes (NHs), quality issues have a tremendous impact on the population with serious mental illness (SMI), who are more likely than their non-SMI Veteran counterparts to use NH services. We examined recent trends in quality indicators (QIs) measuring poor performance of VA NHs and whether the facility-level QIs vary with SMI concentration within the facility. METHODS: From VA administrative records i…
Trajectories of Functional Change Among Long Stayers in Nursing Homes
Baseline functional status is critical to predicting changes in impairment while the impact of medical diagnoses is significant but weaker than the effect of baseline impairment
Cognitive and Normative Determinants of State Policymaking Behavior
Although comparative state policy frameworks consider the role of societal norms, few account for cognitive and normative imperatives that originate outside a state's boundaries and are specific to promoting or impeding the adoption of particular policies. One approach that does so is the new institutionalism in sociology, which emphasizes legitimacy-seeking actors who face pressures to conform to cultural rules, norms, and expectations, regardle…
Does Quality Influence Consumer Choice of Nursing Homes? Evidence from Nursing Home to Nursing Home Transfers
We estimated Cox proportional hazards models using assessment data from the Minimum Data Set to test whether nursing home residents and their proxies respond to quality of care by changing providers. Various indicators of poor quality increased the likelihood of transfer. Residents of for-profit homes or homes with excess capacity also were more likely to transfer. Inability to participate in care decisions and factors indicating frailty limited …
A critical review of recent US market level health care strategy literature
Nursing Home-to-Nursing Home Transfers
OBJECTIVES: To characterize the time pattern of nursing home-to-nursing home transfers and assess which resident characteristics are associated with transfers. METHODS: Minimum Data Set assessments of all Maine and New York nursing home residents were obtained for 1994-1996. The hazard rate for nursing home transfers was estimated by nonparametric statistical techniques, censored at loss to follow-up. Comparisons of resident characteristics were …
HIV risk behavior and the health belief model
HIV risk behavior and the health belief model
The increasing prominence of minority groups, particularly African Americans, in the growing rates of HIV infection and AIDS underscores the urgency for developing ethno-gender specific models for changing behaviors that are placing those groups at risk. To this end, HIV-related knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions reported by an urban community sample of African Americans (N = 364) and formulated as components of the Health Belief Model (HBM) h…
HIV-1 seroprevalence and risk behaviors in an urban African-American community cohort
OBJECTIVES. Previous attempts at obtaining population estimates of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) seroprevalence have been beset by problems of cooperation bias. As part of the fourth round of study with an urban African-American community cohort, the following investigation was aimed at assessing HIV-1 prevalence and the relative importance of sex and drug injection as risk factors in infection. METHODS. Personal interviews were con…
