Associations between comorbidity and quality of life outcomes after total joint replacement
Outcomes and Reimbursement of Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities and Subacute Rehabilitation Programs for Medicare Beneficiaries With Hip Fracture
OBJECTIVE: We sought to assess whether outcomes and reimbursement differ for Medicare beneficiaries with hip fracture when treated in an inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) compared with a skilled nursing facility (SNF) subacute rehabilitation program. PARTICIPANTS: Clinical data were linked with Medicare claims for 29,793 Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries with a recent hip fracture who completed treatment in 1996 or 1997 in rehabilitati…
Toward a Research and Training Capacity in Disability Policy
This paper describes the research and training infrastructure that is needed if disability policy is to flourish as a viable field of inquiry. Due to its interdisciplinary character, no one discipline or academic field has adopted disability policy as its own, and as a result, has not developed the infrastructure needed to give disability policy the visibility and focus it deserves. This paper explores the reasons for the field's underdevelopment…
The Americans with Disabilities Act and the Current State of U.S. Disability Policy
The passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) reflects a new stage in American disability policy. However, important policy issues that pre-date the passage of ADA remain unresolved. The most important concern policy assumptions that have guided various disability income and medical assistance programs since their inception in the 1950s and 1960s. The most detrimental assumption is that, to be eligible for income or medical assistance,…
Developing a Comprehensive Health Services Research Capacity in Physical Disability and Rehabilitation
The lack of an adequate capacity for policy-oriented disability research in the United States has hampered decision making in all aspects of disability policy. This article considers the development of a comprehensive Health Services Research (HSR) capacity in physical disability and rehabilitation, which would examine the organization, provision, and financing of health care services for persons with physical disabilities. Despite the substantia…

Predicting charges for inpatient medical rehabilitation using severity, DRG, age, and function
We examined the effectiveness of using diagnosis related groups (DRGs), Severity of Illness Index (SII), age and function at admission to predict inpatient charges for medical rehabilitation. Data from our sample of 199 indicate that DRGs alone explained approximately 12 per cent of the variation in charges for inpatient rehabilitation while SII explained 26 per cent of the variation. SII, DRG, and age together yielded the highest regression coef…
A Political Economy Critique of the American Welfare State
Despite its rapid expansion over the last decade, the American welfare state appears unable to remedy many of the social problems it has been designated to solve. In many instances, the welfare state has become as much a part of the problem as the solution. Unfortunately, most proposals to reform the welfare state do not go beyond the liberalconservative conception of the welfare state as a backup to the capitalist market system. This conception …
