Rural‐Urban Home Health Care Differences Before the Balanced Budget Act of 1997
This study arose from concerns that home health care may be more difficult to provide to rural than urban elderly patients (because of geographic barriers, personnel shortages, and other factors) and may therefore be less effective in terms of patient outcomes Case mix, home health care service use, and outcomes (primarily discharge status) were analyzed for a national random sample of 3,869 rural and urban elderly home health patients Longitudin…
Application of Functional Independence Measure-Function Related Groups and Resource Utilization Groups-Version III Systems Across Post Acute Settings
OBJECTIVES: The present study evaluated alternative patient classification systems for skilled nursing facility and rehabilitation facility patients. METHODS: Medicare patients were selected from a random sample of 27 rehabilitation facilities and 65 skilled nursing facilities participating in a national longitudinal study of subacute care. Detailed casemix and resource use data was obtained on 513 patients with hip fracture and 483 stroke patien…
Outcomes Across the Care Continuum: Home Health Care
OBJECTIVES: This article describes one approach to measuring outcomes across the continuum of care. METHODS: Development and testing of the outcome-based quality-improvement methodology as developed by the University of Colorado Center for Health Services Research in Denver, Colorado are summarized. RESULTS: Reliable and valid measures for home health care covering end results (pure outcome), intermediate results (instrumental outcome), and use (…
Volume/Outcome Relationships in Small Rural Hospitals
This article summarizes a study of relationships between hospital volume and patient outcomes for diagnoses commonly treated and procedures commonly performed in smaller rural hospitals. Literature review findings and results of analyses using secondary data for several conditions suggest few if any volume/outcome relationships (with mortality being the main outcome for which data were available). A basic finding of the study is that most conditi…
Medicaid and Non-Medicaid Case Mix Differences in Colorado Nursing Homes
Profiles of case mix and related variables were compared for 1,064 Medicaid and 459 non-Medicaid residents of 65 freestanding nursing homes in Colorado in 1980. The results point to substantial case-mix differences, with Medicaid residents typically characterized by fewer and less intense long-term care problems as well as greater independence in functioning (ADLs). Policy impacts of these findings in Colorado have included a legislatively mandat…
Profits in Programs? A Modest Proposal for Welfare Employment
In one important respect, the Work Incentive (WIN) program is typical of other manpower training efforts and of many government service programs: it is a failure. It was begun in 1968 as a major effort to restore relief recipients to economic independence and thereby cut the cost of burgeoning welfare rolls.1 In pursuit of these objectives, the program attempts to provide its clients with education, vocational training, and supportive services su…
