Opening the Market for Lower Cost Hearing Aids
Hearing loss is a leading cause of disability among older people. Yet only one in seven US adults who could benefit from a hearing aid uses one. This fraction has not increased over the past 30 years, nor have hearing aid prices dropped, despite trends of steady improvements and price reductions in the consumer electronics industry. The President’s Council on Science and Technology has proposed changes in the regulation of hearing aids, including…
Geographic Variations in Health Care Workforce Training in the US
BACKGROUND: In the United States, registered nurses (RNs) are trained through 1 of 3 educational pathways: a diploma course, an associate's degree, or a baccalaureate degree in nursing. A national consensus has emerged that the proportion of RNs who are baccalaureate trained should be substantially increased. Yet, achieving that goal may be difficult in areas where college graduates are unlikely to reside. OBJECTIVES: To determine whether the lev…

Race/Ethnicity and Patient Confidence to Self-Manage Cardiovascular Disease
BACKGROUND: Minority populations bear a disproportionate burden of chronic disease, due to higher disease prevalence and greater morbidity and mortality. Recent research has shown that several factors, including confidence to self-manage care, are associated with better health behaviors and outcomes among those with chronic disease. OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between minority status and confidence to self-manage cardiovascular disease …

Toward a more public discussion of the ethics of federal social program evaluation
Federal social program evaluation has blossomed over the past quarter century. Despite this growth, there has been little accompanying public debate on research ethics. This essay explores the origins and the implications of this relative silence on ethical matters. It reviews the federal regulations that generally govern research ethics, and recounts the history whereby the evaluation of federal programs was specifically exempted from the purvie…
The Impact of Medicaid Managed Care on Primary Care Physician Participation in Medicaid
OBJECTIVES: Medicaid managed care has been touted as an important vehicle for increasing physician participation in Medicaid. Although there is anecdotal evidence that the opportunity to participate in Medicaid via managed care increases physician participation, no empirical study has validated the claim. This study explores the relationship between Medicaid managed care penetration at the county-level and the likelihood that a physician practici…

Socioeconomic Status and Dissatisfaction Among HMO Enrollees
OBJECTIVES: Member satisfaction is commonly used as an indicator of the quality of care delivered by health plans. Yet few contemporary studies have explored the extent to which individual patient characteristics influence dissatisfaction in HMOs. We sought to determine whether socioeconomic status is associated with enrollee dissatisfaction. METHODS: Data are from a cross-sectional, telephone survey of a probability sample of adults enrolled in …

Access to hospitals with high-technology cardiac services
OBJECTIVES. Relatively few hospitals in the United States offer high-technology cardiac services (cardiac catheterization, bypass surgery, or angioplasty). This study examined the association between race and admission to a hospital offering those services. METHODS. Records of 11,410 patients admitted with acute myocardial infarction to hospitals in New York State in 1986 were analyzed. RESULTS. Approximately one third of both White and Black pat…
Sequential Events Contributing to Variations in Cardiac Revascularization Rates
Numerous studies have demonstrated the importance of race, payor, and gender in determining the use of cardiac services, including revascularization procedures (bypass surgery and angioplasty). However, there has been less investigation into where and when in the process of care differences in utilization arise. In this report, the authors examined the sequence of events leading to the use of revascularization procedures, identifying four phases …
The reliability of racial classifications in hospital discharge abstract data
Many studies demonstrating an association between race and the use of medical services have used hospital discharge abstract data. The quality of the measures of race in such data sources has heretofore been unexplored. Hospital discharge abstract data from New York State were used to identify 767 cardiac patients who had been admitted to a hospital twice. Racial classifications during the two admissions were concordant 93.7% of the time. Kappa w…
