Ageism Amplifies Cost and Prevalence of Health Conditions
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The persistent status of ageism as one of the least acknowledged forms of prejudice may be due in part to an absence of quantifying its costs in economic terms. In this study, we calculated the costs of ageism on health conditions for all persons aged 60 years or older in the United States during 1 year. RESEARCH DESIGN AND MATERIALS: The ageism predictors were discrimination aimed at older persons, negative age stereot…

Factors Associated With Hospices’ Nonparticipation in Medicare’s Hospice Compare Public Reporting Program
BACKGROUND: To enhance the quality of hospice care and to facilitate consumers' choices, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) began the Hospice Quality Reporting Program, in which CMS posted the quality measures of participating hospices on its reporting website, Hospice Compare. Little is known about the participation rate and the types of nonparticipating hospices. OBJECTIVE: To examine the factors associated with hospices' nonp…
Associations of Hospice Disenrollment and Hospitalization With Continuous Home Care Provision
OBJECTIVES: To examine rates of hospice disenrollment and posthospice hospitalization among patients who are enrolled in hospices that provide continuous home care (CHC) (CHC hospices) compared with patients who are enrolled in hospices that do not offer CHC (non-CHC hospices). METHODS: We performed a retrospective cohort study among Medicare fee-for-service decedents between July and December 2011, who were 66 years and older and had used hospic…
End-of-Life Care Intensity and Hospice Use
OBJECTIVES: Despite increased hospice use over the last decade, end-of-life care intensity continues to increase. To understand this puzzle, we sought to examine regional variation in intensive end-of-life care and determine its associations with hospice use patterns. METHODS: Using Medicare claims for decedents aged 66 years and above in 2011, we assessed end-of-life care intensity in the last 6 months of life across hospital referral regions (H…
Understanding Regional Variation in Medicare Expenditures for Initial Episodes of Prostate Cancer Care
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the contributions of patient and treatment factors to overall expenditures and regional variation for initial treatment of localized prostate cancer (CaP) in the Medicare program. RESEARCH DESIGN: Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-Medicare database, we identified 47,517 beneficiaries with localized CaP during 2005-2009 and matched noncancer controls. We employed hierarchical generalized linear models to…
Health care utilization and health outcomes
Facing escalating health care expenditures, the governments of countries with national health insurance programs are trying to control or even to reduce health care utilization. Little research has examined the effects of decreased health care utilization on health outcomes. Applying a natural experiment design to the Taiwan population between 2000 and 2004, which includes the 2003 SARS epidemic when an average 20% decline in health care utilizat…
