Nursing home closures and access to post‐acute care and long‐term care services in rural areas
PURPOSE: Nursing home closures have raised concerns about access to post-acute care (PAC) and long-term care (LTC) services. We estimate the additional distance rural residents had to travel to access PAC and LTC services because of nursing home closures. METHODS: We identify nursing home closures and the availability of PAC and LTC services in nursing homes, home health agencies, and hospitals with swing beds using the Medicare Provider of Servi…
ACO Clinicians Have Higher Medicare Part B Medical Services Payments Than Mips Clinicians Under the Quality Payment Program
The Quality Payment Program (QPP) is a Medicare value-based payment program with 2 tracks: -Advanced Alternative Payment Models (A-APMs), including two-sided risk Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), and Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). In 2020, A-APM eligible ACO clinicians received an additional 5% positive, and MIPS clinicians received up to 5% negative or 2% positive performance-based adjustments to their Medicare Part B medical…
Occupational Injuries in the US Nursing Homes
BACKGROUND: Workplace injuries adversely affect worker well-being and may worsen staffing shortages and turnover in nursing homes. A better understanding of the trends in injuries in nursing homes including organizational factors associated with injuries can help improve our efforts in addressing worker injuries. OBJECTIVE: To summarize the trends in injuries and organizational correlates of injuries in US nursing homes. RESEARCH DESIGN: We combi…
Use of Intergovernmental Transfers–based Medicaid Supplemental Payments to Boost Nursing Home Finances
BACKGROUND: Indiana provides intergovernmental transfers-based supplemental payment to nursing homes owned/operated by the nonstate governmental organization (NSGO) but NSGOs may divert substantial supplemental payments away from participating nursing homes. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to estimate the effect of participation in the intergovernmental transfers-based Medicaid supplemental payment program on nursing home revenue and expendi…

First Year of Skilled Nursing Facility Value-based Purchasing Program Penalizes Facilities With Poorer Financial Performance
BACKGROUND: The Skilled Nursing Facility Value-based Purchasing Program (SNF-VBP) incentivizes facilities to coordinate care, improve quality, and lower hospital readmissions. However, SNF-VBP may unintentionally punish facilities with lower profit margins struggling to invest resources to lower readmissions. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to estimate the SNF-VBP penalty amounts by skilled nursing facility (SNF) profit margin quintile…
Malpractice Environment vs Direct Litigation
An ongoing concern about medical malpractice litigation is that it may induce provider exit, potentially affecting consumer welfare. The nursing home sector is subject to substantial litigation activity but remains generally understudied in terms of the effects of litigation, due perhaps to a paucity of readily available data. In this article, we estimate the association between litigation and nursing home exit (closure or change in ownership), s…
Suspended in time and space
Still photography, by definition, stills the piece of reality it captures in a split second. Plucks away a slice and freezes it. But it is a slice from a universe in which nothing is naturally still, frozen, stationary or quiescent; nor random and unconnected. The “still” photograph is thus more than a slice, more than a split second. Contained in it are elements of the universe of which it is a part. Suspended in it is the flow of history. The w…
The bretton woods institutions and Concerned Asian scholarship
Histories do need revision from time to time. Newly unearthed materials bring up new facts, cast new light, and call for new interpretations. But when history is simplified to suit one's agenda or to score points it becomes a dangerous game. Gail Omvedt, I am afraid, is simplifying history when she begins her “Reflections on the World Bank” by looking at the origins of the Bulletin of Concerned Asian Scholars (BCAS)
