Variability in Transitional Care Outcomes Across Hospitals Discharging Veterans to Skilled Nursing Facilities
BACKGROUND: The period after transition from hospital to skilled nursing facility (SNF) is high-risk, but variability in outcomes related to transitions across hospitals is not well-known. OBJECTIVES: Evaluate variability in transitional care outcomes across Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and non-VHA hospitals for Veterans, and identify characteristics of high-performing and low-performing hospitals. RESEARCH DESIGN: Retrospective observati…
Predictors of Contraceptive Discontinuation in a Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinic Population
In this study population of STD clinic users, method-use problems appear to be a more fundamental issue for contraceptive compliance than the pastor current experience of side effects. The unexpected association between method-use problems and the risk of discontinuation needs to be further delineated so that effective interventions addressing these problems can be developed and implemented
Cognitive Functioning and Impairment Among Rural Elderly Hispanics and Non-Hispanic Whites as Assessed by the Mini-Mental State Examination
We conducted a cross-sectional study to determine the distribution of cognitive functioning as measured by the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) among a sample of Hispanic and non-Hispanic White (NHW) residents from two counties in rural, southern Colorado. Residents aged 60 years and older (N = 1,360) were administered the full MMSE, a sociodemographic and medical interview. Protocols were developed to administer the MMSE equitably in both et…
Tracking community sentinel events
OBJECTIVES: The incidence of related sentinel events--breast cancer mortality and neighborhood-specific morbidity for advanced stage at diagnosis--were calculated for women likely to use a community health center in Denver, Colo. METHODS: For the center's service area, neighborhoods (n = 37) were defined by program use. Mortality rates and proportional hazards regression models were estimated for 4189 breast cancer cases recorded between 1979 and…
