    This article's purpose was to identify predictors of discharge outcomes of VA nursing home stays. Using data tapes, diagnostic and assessment data were assembled on elderly individuals admitted to VA nursing homes nationwide during Fiscal Year 1987. Six-month outcomes for 3 groups were considered: all residents (n = 5,895), and those remaining in care after 6 (n = 2,815) and 12 months (n = 1,812), respectively.

    Risk factors for institutionalization and death for up to four years for a nationwide cohort (n = 6,488) of males discharged alive from Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) nursing homes were identified through linked records of the DVA. Two-year cumulative probabilities of nursing home readmission, hospitalization, and death among nursing home dischargees were 0.30, 0.61, and 0.24, respectively. Using multivariate survival analyses, chronic func…

    Past and proposed public policy reforms in home care have presumed that similar services are provided by different types (e.g., public, proprietary) of home health agencies under a uniform benefit. To examine this presumption, the author used Medicare billing data and interview information for a nationally representative sample of 921 home health patients from the 1984 National Long Term Care Survey, supplemented with data on agency type from the…
