Health Care Provider Evaluation of a Substitutive Model of Hospital at Home
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate Hospital at Home (HaH), a substitute for inpatient care, from the perspectives of participating providers. RESEARCH DESIGN: Multivariate general estimating equations regression analyses of a patient-specific survey of providers delivering HaH care in a prospective, nonrandomized clinical trial. SUBJECTS: Eleven physicians and 26 nurses employed in 3 Medicare-Advantage plans and 1 Veterans Administration medical center. MEAS…
Concurrent and Long-Term Predictors of Older Adults’ Use of Community-Based Long-Term Care Services
Caregiver-related need variables play a significant role in defining utilization patterns of community-based long-term care services among older adults
Health effects of caregiving
We propose that two related sources of variability in studies of caregiving health effects contribute to an inconsistent pattern of findings: the sampling strategy used and the definition of what constitutes caregiving. Samples are often recruited through self-referral and are typically comprised of caregivers experiencing considerable distress. In this study, we examine the health effects of caregiving in large population-based samples of spousa…

This study was undertaken to test the acceptability of preventive services under Medicare waivers to a community-dwelling population aged 65 and over and to examine the effect of such services on health. METHODS. Medicare beneficiaries and designated primary care providers were sampled, and beneficiaries were screened and surveyed. A total of 4195 individuals were then randomized into intervention or control groups. Those in the inter…
Preventive services for the elderly
OBJECTIVES. This study was undertaken to determine whether adding a benefit for preventive services to older Medicare beneficiaries would affect utilization and costs under Medicare. METHODS. The demonstration used an experimental design, enrolling 4195 older, community-dwelling Medicare recipients. Medicare claims data for the 2 years in which the preventive visits occurred were compared for the intervention (n = 2105) and control (n = 2090) gro…
Medication and the Elderly
Use of medication has become an increasingly important issue in the health and health care of older populations. The demographic changes resulting in greater numbers of individuals 65 and over. accompanied by a higher prevalence of chronic disease, focus attention on prescription and over-the-counter drugs, the major strategy in treatment regimens for these conditions. In addition. the numbers of new and powerful drugs being developed increase da…
