    Stephen P Gulley, Elizabeth K Rasch et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2014References: 26

    BACKGROUND: In the United States, research on health disparities has begun to include people with disabilities as a minority population. However, there is a gap in our knowledge of whether, and to what extent, racial and ethnic disparities may affect the health or health care access of people with disabilities. OBJECTIVES: We examined potential disparities in overall health, insurance coverage status, and health service use between non-Hispanic w…

  • First in Line

    Elizabeth K Rasch, Minh Huynh et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2014References: 5

    BACKGROUND: Given the complexity of the adjudication process and volume of applications to Social Security Administration's (SSA) disability programs, many individuals with serious medical conditions die while awaiting an application decision. Limitations of traditional survival methods called for a new empirical approach to identify conditions resulting in rapid mortality. OBJECTIVE: To identify health conditions associated with significantly hi…

  • Connecting Contemporary Paradigms to the Social Security Administration’s Disability Evaluation Process

    Open AccessDiane Brandt, Diane E Brandt et al.ARTICLEJournal of Disability Policy…2011Cited by: 1References: 2

    From 1998 to 2008, the Social Security Administration's (SSA) disability insurance program (DI) applications rose from 1.2 million to 2.3 million and exceeded 3 million in 2009. Given these large and growing numbers, even small changes in processing disability applications may reduce processing time, lower program costs, and improve performance of SSA's disability programs. A literature review examining current conceptual models of disability and…

    Open AccessStephen P Gulley, Elizabeth K Rasch et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2011Cited by: 4References: 28

    Objectives. We sought to determine how part-year and full-year gaps in health insurance coverage affected working-aged persons with chronic health care needs. Methods. We conducted multivariate analyses of the 2002–2004 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey to compare access, utilization, and out-of-pocket spending burden among key groups of persons with chronic conditions and disabilities. The results are generalizable to the US community-dwelling po…

  • If We Build It, Who Will Come

    Stephen P Gulley, Elizabeth K Rasch et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2011References: 17

    BACKGROUND: Currently, there is a call to implement and test the patient-centered medical home in adult populations, particularly among those with chronic conditions. However, the size, composition, and service use of the population who might require this coordinated care model need to be assessed, as does the way they are defined and identified. OBJECTIVES: Using nationally representative data from the 2002 to 2004 Medical Expenditure Panel Surv…
